The 62nd Annual Primetime Emmy Awards were held Sunday night, 29th AUG at the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles. A mix of new comedies and veteran dramas dominated this year’s event, while HBO monopolized the statuettes for movies and miniseries. ABC’s Modern Family led all series programs with three Emmy wins, including outstanding comedy. Fox’s Glee, which led all series with 19 nominations, won Emmys for supporting actress Jane Lynch and director Ryan Murphy. Besides, The Pacific, the World War II miniseries produced by Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg, was awarded Outstanding Miniseries or Movie.

An estimated 13.50 million viewers tuned into the Emmy cast, according to the Nielsen Company. A year ago, the show averaged 13.47 million when it aired in SEPT.
