AIRED: 9/12/99

"The 51st Annual Primetime Emmy Awards", hosted by Jenna Elfman (Dharma & Greg) and David Hyde Pierce (Frasier), was broadcast live on FOX. It was held at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, California for the first time. Presenters included Sarah Michelle Gellar, Jay Leno, Ray Romano, and Keri Russell among others.

Although the major awards were given out tonight, a separate ceremony for the handing out of the technical and supporting awards was held two weeks prior to the televised event (August 28, 1999). (Click here to see List of Nominees and Winners.)moreless
