Newcomers score big on Emmy night


Los Angeles, California (CNN) -- First-time winners and new shows took the lion's share of the hardware Sunday night at the 62nd Primetime Emmy Awards.
"Modern Family" beat out the heavily favored "Glee" for outstanding comedy honors, and wound up winning six Emmys out of 14 nominations while "Mad Men" and "Breaking Bad" continued their winning ways in the drama category.
"We are thrilled that families are sitting down to watch a television show," said "Modern Family" creator Steven Levitan. "Thank you for letting us into your families".
"The Pacific," which won seven Creative Arts Emmys last weekend and outstanding miniseries during the primetime show, was the overall champ, but the night's big winners were the TV movie "Temple Grandin," which won five Emmys for a total of seven.
"Modern Family" took four Emmys on Sunday night and six overall.
"Mad Men" received its third straight outstanding drama series trophy.
"I can't believe we are here," said series creator Matthew Weiner. The trend-setting AMC series received 17 nominations, and four Emmys. CNN
