Emmys short, sweet and surprising
The Emmy Awards celebrated the world of television Sunday night with their 61st broadcast, hosted by Neil Patrick Harris. “30 Rock” and “Mad Men” both repeated last year’s wins for best comedy and dramatic series, respectively.
The show had a few surprises, as well. Toni Collette was awarded the Emmy for best comedy actress for her multiple-personality role in “United States of Tara,” beating out “30 Rock”‘s Tina Fey.
Joining us for her take on the awards show is Delaina Dixon, TV blogger and founder of delainadixon.com.
