Although at the beginning of the ceremony was full of emotions, dynamic and most of the actors and actresses were in fashion (well, some of them) at the end of this event the audience lost enthusiasm and energy.
Modern Family had 17 nominations, while Bridesmaids star Melissa McCarthy (who was presenting the Emmy nominees alongsideFringe star Joshua Jackson) was flabbergasted when her name was called as a nominee for her lead role in the comedy Mike & Molly.
