Sunday night’s 64th Primetime Emmy awards had two clear winners: Showtime’s national security thriller “Homeland” and the still-going-strong “Modern Family,” each of which took home four trophies in the Drama and Comedy categories, respectively.
“Homeland” upset two big dramas -– “Mad Men” and “Breaking Bad” -- in the Best Drama category.
Stars Claire Danes and Damian Lewis also won for the gritty Showtime series, with a pregnant Danes collecting her award in a stunning canary yellow Lanvin gown.
ABC’s “Modern Family” also cleaned up nicely with four wins, including Best Comedy.
Highlights from the show included Tracy Morgan "passing out" on stage, (a prank, thank goodness), “Game Change” Executive Producer Tom Hanks accepting the award for Best Miniseries or Movie, a standing ovation for Michael J. Fox, and a flabbergasted Jon Cryer winning Best Actor in a Comedy for “Two and a Half Men.”
