At Sunday’s 2009 61st Primetime Emmy® Awards, Kristin Chenoweth won the first Emmy of the evening for best supporting actress in a comedy series for a show, ‘Pushing Daisies.’ Alec Baldwin won an Emmy for best comedy actor in ‘30 Rock.’ “I’ll be honest with you. I’d trade this to look like him,” Baldwin said as he accepted his best comedy actor trophy from Rob Lowe of ‘Brothers & Sisters.’
Jon Cryer won best supporting actor in a comedy for ‘Two and a Half Men’, while Toni Collette won best actress in a comedy for ‘The United States of Tara’. Collette’s win was an upset, as Tina Fey was considered a sure win for ’30 Rock.’
PBS’ ‘Little Dorrit’ also surprised observers, taking home Emmys for best miniseries, as well as writing and direction among miniseries and movies, wins expected to go to HBO programs ‘Grey Gardens’ or ‘Into the Storm.’
