61st Primetime Emmy Awards Tonight!

The 61st Primetime Emmy Awards are tonight (Sunday) at 8:00 pm (ET) on CBS. Hosted by Neil Patrick Harris, it looks like two shows will have a stranglehold on the night: Mad Men for Drama and 30 Rock for Comedy, both coming in with an overwhelming lead in total nominations.
