Emmys 2011: And the Winners Are...

Game of Thrones needed more noms and wins!

Could only be worse if Edie falco won, talk about unfunny!

OMG! Just watched Mike/Molly to see how funny the winner Melissa was, and I just dont get it. She was funny when on the old Christina Applegate show but THIIIIIIIIIIIS?
No way! And it has a ***ed laugh track. Anddddd, is this Car 54 revisited?????

How does cr#p like this stay on past 3 episodes? Hello Hank!!!!!!

what about Idriss Elba. he was the best as Luther

Mad Men over Breaking Bad? Are they serious and Mad Men beat out Game of Thrones. Louie lost out as well. Wow...

Breaking Bad wasn't even nominated for anything?. Justified got screwed over as well. Wow TV really does cater to the lowest domination....

Mad Man for Best Drama? Are they Mad?

dexter didn't get anything?!!!

The only programme , among all those nominated that I find worthy of watching is Sherlock. What about Injustice? did that really get no nominations?
Who cooks up these things; its all rubbish.

did no one watch the walking dead not even a nominated that has to have been the best show on TV in 2010/2011 se,

Breaking Bad not even nominated for anything?

Kate Winslet winning over Jean Marsh just exemplifies how little Americans know about art, talent and good entertainment in television. Most the winners were from dull shallow superficial TV shows. Game of Thrones, Upstairs Downstairs, now there's something to sink your teeth into!

@becksdakex Im just going to say this here: The first season of GoT was NOT high fantasy! Sure we had dragons the last episode, but besides that there weren't that many fantasy elements at work. Sure its set in an alternate-universe, but at its core (season 1) it was a political/ character drama.

So many people got snubbed. How do you not give it to Steve Carell?

And another year the talented miss out while the mainstream comedys/reality gets free trophies. But i am happy PETER DINKLAGE, GAME OF THRONES actually got something, well deserved.

It's awesome that Jason Katims (Friday Night Lights), Peter Dinklage, Kyle Chandler (I probably would have chosen Jon Hamm, but I'm not complaining), Margo Martindale, and Mad Men won. It sucks that Elizabeth Moss (or Connie Britton), Parks and Rec (or 30 Rock), Amy Poehler, and Steve Carell lost. At least they got the drama categories mostly right.

and another great part of this season's emmys is that one oversized, one oversized plus over-aged lady and a short, really short man (could not find the most politically correct words, sorry) received very significant awards.. while tv is generally meant to be for only the "beautiful" people, these winners proved that talent also matters.. I felt very proud of the diversiveness of this season's award distribution..

What about Dexter?

Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series
PETER DINKLAGE, GAME OF THRONES **WINNER!**

There is justice in the world after all!!!

Fringe! As always... especially John Noble!!

Happy for Parsons, Dinklage and Martindale. Am also still shocked by the lack of Fringe noms.

I was glad for most of the winners, aldo i still can't believe that Community and Fringe where not ever nominated.

A very welldeserved win for Margo Martindale! :)
That's the only show on the list I actually watch, but she was AWESOME in last season and definitely earned the award!

Hmmmm, Justified is the only show listed I watched completely. Guess we're not with it. Especially not interest in a hollywood forced diet of Modern Family.

MELISSA MCCARTHY, MIKE & MOLLY **WINNER!**
There has got to be a reason for Martha Plimpton to be overlooked here but I can't see it!! MM may be a "good" actor(I couldn't get past the first ten mins of that show), but MP is OUTSTANDING.

Oh and Jane Lynch, probably not totally your fault but you sucked.

Wow for once all the right people won. Well done Emmy commitee! But MOST IMPORTANTLY.... F*CK YOU GLEE!!! Oh i am so ecstatic that the shows number of Emmy wins this year truthfully equated and revealed what the show is... NOTHING. So shut up Ryan Murphy and be sure to hang yourself and we'll sing a song about that sh*t. Woot Modern Family!

Huge win for Friday Night Lights and Kyle Chandler. Connie Britton got robbed. Probably because of those horrible promos for American Horror Story on FX. Mad Men won by default (very good show) because Breaking Bad wasn't eligible (would've swept, excellent show). Modern Family and Stewart Show are not funny and definitely overrated.

Am happy for the cast of The Good Wife!! Practically all the principal actors got nominated phew!

I'm soo glad for the peter d. and melissa m. awards!. Totally diserved!.. someday i'm gonna watch mad men.. or maybe.. i'll get to know somebody who watch that show.. xD..

I belive all of the emmy's are well deserved this year, yes, including Jim Parsons (remember, Jim is awarded not the Big Bang Theory, and his performance is way over remarkable than anyone else on that list) and Modern Family.. Ty Burrell and Julie Bowen were absolutely fantastic last season, and the whole season was beyond hillarious, so sorry but if you don't see anything to laugh at MF, you don't have a sense of humor. Also people are acting as if Julie Bowen was elected over Amy Poehler, however they were in two different categories, and yes, that would be my sole objection as Poehler deserved it more than McCarthey. I also kinda feel way too bored with Mad Man getting nominated and winning sth over and over again, and yet they became a classic and they are good.. Main satisfaction for me is, they got one and only main award..moreless

yay for Modern Family <3 but where is Community? o_O

Oh suprise suprise Modern Family and Mad Men take home awards when far far more deserving shows get nothing.

Only one to games of thrones they deserve more or at least awards goes to dexter. So the usual its just rubbish results. For Drama Mad men wow that show is terrible

I'm shocked that Peter Dinklage and Kyle Chandler actually won. Cause you now its the Emmys after all, so its a miracle whenever anyone but a family comedy or some snobbish drama wins.

Anyway 3 shows i like that got an emmy, its a new record for me atleast i think.

Question: How common is it for new, first seasons shows to win an Emmy? Do second seasons win more often?
