My favorite Emmy Award wins of the night

Modern Family won four Emmy Awards last night, including its third consecutive trophy for best comedy series.

ABC's hit LGBT-inclusive sitcom also won awards for Directing (director Steve Levitan), and supporting actors Julie Bowen and Eric Stonestreet.

Jessica Lange, as expected won for outstanding supporting actress for her work in Ryan Murphy's American Horror Story. This was Lange's second win as she previously won for best actress in a miniseries/TV movie for the 2008 drama Grey Gardens.

My personal favorite win of the night was Julianne Moore for best actress in a miniseries/TV movie for her fab portrayal of Sarah Palin. Game Change, HBO's drama about the 2008 election, also won for best miniseries/TV movie, best director for Jay Roach, and Danny Strong for best writing for miniseries/TV movie.

Moore, a longtime ally to the LGBT community, said in her acceptance speech: "I feel so validated because Sarah Palin gave me a big thumbs down," Moore said while accepting the trophy.

Interesting fact of the night: Mad Men set a new record by losing all seventeen Emmys it was nominated for.
