In addition, Alec Baldwin snagged the prize of Outstanding Lead Actor for his role on the NBC comedy. Both shows also won for the Outstanding Writing categories for both Drama and Comedy.
Toni Collette won Lead Actress in a Comedy Series for her starring role in the Showtime series, United States of Tara. Also in the comedy category, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart won big as the Outstanding Variety, Music or Comedy series, as well as the Writing category therein.
Bubbly Kristin Chenoweth gushed on stage that she’d love a job on Mad Men, as she accepted her prize for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for her role in the now-canceled, Pushing Daisies. Jon Cryer, who plays Alan Harper in Two and a Half Men, won Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series.
On the dramatic end of things, Glenn Close took the Lead Actress trophy for playing Patty Hewes in Damages and Bryan Cranston of Breaking Bad from AMC acted as her male counterpart for the same award.
