“Modern Family” Sweeps the 2011 Emmy Awards

"Modern Family" Sweeps the 2011 Emmy Awards They’re television’s favorite dysfunctional brood, and last night the cast and crew of “Modern Family” cleaned house, nabbing five big-time Emmy wins. The ABC hit swept the show, taking home top honors in each of the five of the categories it received a bid, including Julie Bowen’s capture of Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy series, Ty Burrell as Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series, Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series, Outstanding Director for a Comedy Series and the coveted overall title of Best Comedy. In shock over her big win, Miss Bowen poked some fun at herself, announcing, “Oh, my God, I don’t know what I’m going to talk about in therapy next week. I won something.” Continuing the laughs, her TV hubby, Burrell added, “I actually got kind of a late start in acting. My dad actually passed away before he ever saw me perform and I can’t help but wonder what he would think about all this … going to work in full makeup.” http://celebritycombo.blogspot.com/
