61st Annual Emmy Winners!

The 61st Annual Emmy Awards were given out last night and there were a few surprises, not many, but some. The first being Neil Patrick Harris who did a stellar job as host. He seemed right at home and kept the show light and moving. The other surprises came with some of the winners. I won't say who in case you have the show Tivo'd but there were some interesting choices.
