And the 2008 Comedy Emmy Winners Are…

Tina Fey and 30 Rock did good!
Mosey on after the jump to see who won what in the comedy categories during Sunday’s 60th Primetime Emmys ceremony. Hopefully, each and every TV comedy lover will find something to make them happy with the results.
Personally, I still wish either How I Met Your Mother’s Neil Patrick Harris or The Office’s Rainn Wilson had scored a statuette, but I guess there’s always next year.
At least former Malcolm in the Middle dad Bryan Cranston achieved a very deserved win in the Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series category for his work on AMC’s fantastic dramedy Breaking Bad.
He was up against Boston Legal’s James Spader, Dexter’s Michael C. Hall, House M.D.’s Hugh Laurie, In Treatment’s Gabriel Byrne, and Mad Men’s Jon Hamm, obviously pretty stiff competition, with the first two nominees also dramedy stars. Comedy was all over this year’s show.
