TV NEWS ON SEPTEMBER 24

http://blog.sitcomsonline.com/2012/09/fox-fall-pilot-review-mindy-project.html The 64th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards aired last night on ABC. Here are the winners! OUTSTANDING COMEDY SERIES Curb Your Enthusiasm (HBO) Girls (HBO) 30 Rock (NBC) Veep (HBO) Modern Family (ABC) The Big Bang Theory (CBS) WINNER: Modern Family (ABC). Hey, hey, we were right! Racked up a third straight win! OUTSTANDING LEAD COMEDY ACTOR Larry David, Curb Your Enthusiasm (HBO) Jon Cryer, Two and a Half Men (CBS) Louis C.K., Louie (FX) Jim Parsons, The Big Bang Theory (CBS) Don Cheadle, House of Lies (Showtime) Alec Baldwin, 30 Rock (NBC) WINNER: Jon Cryer, Two and a Half Men (CBS). That was an upset. Thought Parsons would win his third straight even though he probably didn't deserve to for this season. OUTSTANDING LEAD COMEDY ACTRESS Zooey Deschanel, New Girl (Fox) Lena Dunham, Girls (HBO) Edie Falco, Nurse Jackie (Showtime) Amy Poehler, Parks and Recreation (NBC) Tina Fey, 30 Rock (NBC) Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Veep (HBO) Melissa McCarthy, Mike & Molly (CBS) OUR PICK: Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Veep (HBO). I don't think she was deserving, but we were right in picking her. OUTSTANDING SUPPORTING COMEDY ACTOR Ed O'Neill, Modern Family (ABC) Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Modern Family (ABC) Ty Burrell, Modern Family (ABC) Eric Stonestreet, Modern Family (ABC) Bill Hader, Saturday Night Live (NBC) Max Greenfield, New Girl (Fox) OUR PICK: Eric Stonestreet, Modern Family (ABC). I thought it would be Ed O'Neill, but Stonestreet is great, too!

Hall, Dexter (Showtime) Bryan Cranston, Breaking Bad (AMC) Hugh Bonneville, Downton Abbey (PBS) Jon Hamm, Mad Men (AMC) Damian Lewis, Homeland (Showtime) OUR PICK: Damian Lewis, Homeland (Showtime).
