The 59th Annual Primetime Emmy Nominees & Winners

Television’s big night has finally arrived and the Emmy award has gone out to many deserving winners. Perhaps the biggest shock of the night was that Edie Falco and James Gandolfini, the expected winners going into this year’s Emmys, failed to bring home the gold for their final season of The Sopranos. However, The Sopranos did win in the biggest category of the night: Outstanding Drama Series. The good news is that from here on out, the other shows will have a fighting chance without the mob in the mix!
