The 65th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards took place on Sunday night, eliciting unexpected wins, heartfelt tributes and standing ovations. Neil Patrick Harris took the stage to host the show for the second time, adding humor and dance to the three-hour show. The night was filled with tributes to iconic TV actors, including Jane Lynch’s remembrance of her late co-star, Cory Monteith. She said, “From the first time you saw Cory he had a star quality and a genuine sweetness that made it impossible not to fall in love with him. And millions did fall in love with Cory. And I’m here to say that all that warmth and that charm, that open-hearted quality we loved in Cory was no act. Cory was a beautiful soul.” Edie Falco, who co-starred on the Sopranos with the late James Gandolfini, gave a tear-jerking tribute: “You all knew James Gandolfini the actor, I was lucky enough to know Jim the man. It’s Jim, the man, the very dear man, I will miss most of all.” Country music singer Carrie Underwood gave a soulful rendition of the Beatles song “Yesterday,” while Sir Elton John performed “Home Again,” a song he wrote about the late Liberace. Breaking Bad took home the night’s top honor for the best drama series, defeating fellow nominees Homeland, Mad Men and Downton Abbey. ~Marriska Fernandes
