2011 Emmy Awards Winners

Ty Burrell and Julie Bowen

On Sunday night the winners of the 2011 Emmy Awards were announced. Last night's ceremony handed out awards for major categories, while the more technical awards were presented on September 10th. Among the big winners last night were "Modern Family", which took home five awards, including Outstanding Comedy Series, Writing for a Comedy Series and both Supporting awards (Julie Bowen and Ty Burrell). Thus, "Modern Family" has become one of the rare comedy series to win the big one two years in a row (ABC's second since "Taxi").

Outstanding Dramatic Series was won by "Mad Men", although the popular series did not win in any of the other categories in which it was nominated. It did, however, win one Creative Arts award on September 10th. "Mad Men" was originally nominated in 19 categories. Kate Winslet and Guy Pearce won awards for Best Lead Actress and Best Supporting Actor, respectively, for the miniseries "Mildred Pierce". The TV movie did not however win for Best Miniseries. That award went to the british movie "Downtown Abbey", which also won for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Miniseries (Maggie Smith) and Writing.

Outstanding Lead Actor in a Miniseries went to Barry Pepper for his portrayal of Bobby Kennedy in "The Kennedys". Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama series went to Kyle Chandler for "Friday Night Lights" and Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series was won by Julianna Marguiles for "The Good Wife". "Boardwalk Empire" only picked up the award for Best Directing, which went to Martin Scorsese for the Pilot episode. The gangster drama series did win 10 Creative Arts awards, which is pretty good for its first season.

After the jump you can find all the winners both from last night's ceremony and from the September 10th Creative Awards.

Spurring Sally’s investigation are the voices–rasping whispers who call out to her from the basement, who promise her understanding and friendship, who are so very hungry and would like to be set free. When Sally gives in to her curiosity, she opens a gateway into a hellish underworld from which an army of beady-eyed, sharp-clawed monsters emerge, small in size but endless in number: the homunculi.
