HBO's John Adams and AMC's Mad Men kicked off what should be an awards-filled Emmy season over the weekend, when the annual Creative Arts Emmys were handed out in LA. John Adams took home eight awards at the ceremony, while Mad Men nabbed four of its own.
The Creative Arts Emmys recognize a variety of technical categories (lighting design, etc.) — but they also award some Emmys that non-industry types can understand, too. Tim Conway nabbed an Emmy for his guest role on 30 Rock, while Kathryn Joosten beat out several 30 Rock guest stars to take home a statuette for her Desperate Housewives role. Cynthia Nixon and Glynn Turman won Emmys in the drama guest actor and actress categories.
Meanwhile, the "I'm F***ing Matt Damon" episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live won two Emmys — alas, nothing for the Ben Affleck companion piece. Also winners: This American Life, Wade Robson's choreography for So You Think You Can Dance, and . . . Pirate Master. The show, which Neil Patrick Harris and Sarah Chalke co-hosted, will air on Saturday night, but to see all the winners now, just read more.

i have to say that it's quite the eclectic list - but i'm really proud of a few of those winners. the producers and creators of pushing daisies should be thrilled this year - since they are a new show and they've already accumulated quite a few awards. i'm also really happy that 30 rock and so you think you can dace won a few as well - those are some of my favorites. we'll just have to sit back and wait another couple weeks for the other emmy's to come out to see what's going on there.
i think that kathy griffin should be ecstatic! another emmy - and i have to admit that i DID watch the show this year...and i'm proud that top chef won something as well.
