Emmy Awards 2011: List of Winners!
The 2011 Primetime Emmy Awards kept things modern Sunday night.

I just want to know what hole the Emmy Committee's heads are in. The fact that they continually pass over the best actor that has ever been, Hugh Laurie, is unbelievable. They prove over and over that they don't know what good acting is. Year after year they pick some of the most mediocre actor/actresses on the scene. To repeat...........UNBELIEVABLE.

The fact that Hot In Cleveland wasn't nominated in a slap in the face. I guess maybe since it's not on the three major networks it can't even be considered. I laugh so hard when I watch that show my sides hurt! I even had my niece and Mother in Law watch it for the first time on a recent visit and they laughed hysterically too. Betty White is classic as always. The writers are superb. I myself have never seen Modern Family.
