Modern Family won all the awards. All of them. Even for drama.

Remember last year when Modern Family was a surprise winner of the Emmy for best comedy?  Well, this year, it wasn’t quite as surprising, because Modern Family dominated last night’s Emmy awards in whatever categories it was nominated in.  Modern Family and its actors took home awards for Best Comedy Series, Best Supporting Actor and Actress, Best Writing on a Comedy Series, and Best Directing for a comedy last night at the Emmys.  Aside from Best Actor and Best Actress, it was a clean sweep for the ensemble comedy, which is kind of amazing when you consider how many shows it was up against.

On the drama side, things were more interesting.  For example, while Mad Men won best drama, NBC’s beloved Friday Night Lights won Best Actor (for Kyle Chandler) and Best writing.  Martin Scorsese actually nabbed his first Emmy in eight nominations for his directing of Boardwalk Empire.  Perhaps most importantly, HBO’s epic series Game Of Thrones won something in spite of its popularity, thanks to Peter Dinklage claiming a much-deserved Emmy for Best Supporting Actor in the drama category.

Here’s the complete list of Emmy winners from last night’s broadcast.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
