2007 Emmy Award Winners -

Stewie and Brian from Family Guy sing a "Hi! We're Fox and we have the Emmys!" introductory musical number. Katherine Heigl takes the opportunity to correct the announcer's pronunciation of her name. The camera closes in on uncomfortable T.R. Knight during an Isaiah Washington joke.

It was a night of firsts and surprises. The first "Green" Emmys. The first win for many seasoned actors. The first time Emmy audience members had to watch the behinds of the presenters as they presented the awards due to the new staging of the show.

Enough of the quips and intros, though. Here are the winners of the 2007 Emmy Awards.

Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series - Jeremy Piven for Entourage. No surprise and a disappointment to those hoping for some recognition for Rainn Wilson of The Office. Of course, recognition for Neil Patrick Harris would also be a much appreciated acknowledgment. It's alright. We love ya, Barney and Dwight.

Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series - Terry O' Quinn for Lost. A shocker for the evening, but a fantastic surprise for those Lost fans (myself included) who have sung the praises of Terry for years. It's about time, guys. Glad that someone finally got it together enough to recognize this wonderful actor.

Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series - Jamie Pressley for My Name Is Earl. Since My Name Is Earl has lost a bit of its momentum with the critics and viewers, many voters may have seen this as the last chance to give the gum-snapping, "Oh Snap" saying, wife of Crab Man her due.

Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Mini-Series or Movie - Thomas Hayden Church for Broken Trail.

Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series - Katherine Heigl for Grey's Anatomy. With a night of firsts, Heigl's first win comes as a surprise perhaps to Katherine most who quipped that her own mother told her that she "didn't have a chance in hell of winning."

Outstanding Writing for a Variety, Musical or Comedy Series - Late Night with Conan O' Brien. Many had expected The Colbert Report to finally take this category, but after two consecutive wins for The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, this was probably still quite an unexpected win for many.

Outstanding Directing for a Variety, Musical or Comedy Program - Rob Marshall for Tony Bennett: An American Classic. No surprise following Tony Bennett and Christina Aguilera's performance.

Outstanding Lead Actor in a Mini-Series or Movie - Robert Duvall for Broken Trail. Amazingly, this was Duvall's first Emmy win though he was nominated in 1989 for his performance in the mini-series, Lonesome Dove.

Outstanding Mini-Series - Broken Trail. We Americans love our Westerns.

Outstanding Directing in a Drama Series - Alan Taylor for The Sopranos. This would not be one of the aforementioned surprises. Lost fans held out home for "Through the Looking Glass," an episode that really deserves a great deal of recognition. Not tonight, though, it seems.

Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series - David Chase for The Sopranos. Do you hear the shocked gasps of viewers? Of course not. That would require shock and surprise.

Outstanding Variety, Musical or Comedy Series - The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. Well, it's hard to beat perfection, I suppose.

Outstanding Variety, Musical or Comedy Program - Tony Bennett: An American Classic. Fantastic. I think?

Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Mini-Series or Movie - Judy Davis for The Starter Wife. Judy gets the distinction of being the first award winner not to be present to pick up the award. Rumor is they were going to throw it to the people who had to watch the behinds of the people on stage and let them clamour for it, but thought better of it.

Outstanding Made For Television Movie - Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee.

Outstanding Actress in a Mini-Series or Movie - Helen Mirren for Prime Suspect: The Final Act. The Emmys love Helen. What can we say? She's a brand of sexy cool that's unrivaled.

Outstanding Directing for a Mini-Series, Movie or Dramatic Special - Phillip Martin for Prime Suspect: The Final Act.

Outstanding Writing for a Mini-Series, Movie or Dramatic Special - Frank Deasy for Prime Suspect: The Final Act.

Outstanding Creative Achievement in Interactive Television - Current TV. Al Gore's bit about taking back democracy earned him a good deal of applause from the audience and all of those people busy putting their vlogs about video games and Britney Spears on YouTube.

Outstanding Individual Performance In A Variety or Music Program - Tony Bennett. Well, there you have it, folks. Another snub for Colbert. Though, I think everyone began to see this one coming pretty early on in the broadcast.

Outstanding Directing in a Comedy Series - Richard Shepard for Ugly Betty. Richard gets snaps for mentioning Happy Days, the origin of Jumping the Shark, in his acceptance speech.

Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series - Greg Daniels for The Office, "Gay Witch Hunt". Hallelujah.

Outstanding Reality Competition - The Amazing Race. Second consecutive win for The Amazing Race. Yay?

Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series - Ricky Gervais for Extras. This was the best moment of the Emmys by far. And it had nothing to do with Gervais, surprisingly. With Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert presenting, the two decided to give the award to their friend Steve Carell in his place. Hijinks ensued.

Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series - Sally Field for Brothers and Sisters. Insert obligatory "really liking her joke" here. And by the way, Fox, if you're going to center your broadcast around jokes about Hayden Panettiere finally turning 18 and Vanessa Hudgens nude photos, don't cut off Sally Fields' acceptance speech because she uses a bit of profanity that's easily accepted on most late night and cable television.

Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series - America Ferrera for Ugly Betty. Though it was her first Emmy win, I believe that everyone was expecting it just the same.

Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series - James Spader for Boston Legal. Quipping that he felt he had just stolen a pile of money from the mob, it was not lost on Spader nor anyone else who was the expected winner. It was also not lost on Spader that the seating arrangement was less than savory as he added that his seats were "the worst he'd ever had."

Outstanding Comedy Series - 30 Rock. - Tiny Fey thanks her dozens and dozens of viewers. Who oddly enough have a better view of the show than the some of the people who worked on the other nominated series.

Outstanding Drama Series - The Sopranos. What else is there to say?

The show was not without its highlights. The cast members of The Office giving videotaped testimonials about Steve Carell. Terry O' Quinn's awesomely cool pink shirt (can you tell I have mad O' Quinn love?). Lewis Black. Elaine Stritch's fantastic presentation despite "not knowing what the hell was going on." Rainn Wilson singing Kanye West and Steve Carell accepting the award for Ricky Gervais brought the show to its much needed peaks.

So, what have we learned from this presentation of the Emmy Awards, boys and girls? Jokes about barely 18 year old actresses get real old real fast. Seasoned actresses like Glenn Close and Helen Mirren are 2000% cooler than any of these barely legal girls getting all the press these days and don't make your audience members spend three hours watching the behinds of the people who are already having better nights than they are.

Tune in next year as Fox suspends its audience from the ceiling!
