I'm still surprised by some of the unexpected winners. The voters gave much significance to several new shows, with Modern Family winning the big award for outstanding comedy series (and a win for Eric Stonestreet!). Repeat honorees also shone back, with the cast of Mad Men and Bryan Cranston both taking the stage for a third time.
A fun musical number was given by Jimmy Fallon and the night had several laugh-out-loud moments including George Clooney's Modern Family video cameo was a fave.
For the full list of 2010 Emmy winners, just read full article.
