It was not quite a "Glee"-ful evening at the Emmys, with the smash hit show leaving with only two wins out of its 19 nominations.

As expected, Jane Lynch took home the prize for Best Supporting Actress for her performance as diabolical cheerleading coach Sue Sylvester, and series creator Ryan Murphy won the Emmy for Best Directing in a Comedy.

But that's where the party ended for Fox's hit show.

The night was happier for ABC's "Modern Family." The little-show-that-could took home an impressive six Emmys, starting off the night with a Best Supporting Actor win for the endearing Eric Stonestreet, who plays one half of the show's gay couple. Stonestreet came across as sincerely moved and grateful at the winner's podium, his speech bringing co-star Jessie Tyler Ferguson to tears.

The show also picked up Emmys for Best Writing and the big one, Best Comedy Series, beating out perennial favorite "30 Rock" and fan favorite "Glee."

In the comedy category, critics' darling Jim Parsons won for "The Big Bang Theory" and Edie Falco, much to her own surprise, took home the prize for Best Actress in a Comedy for "Nurse Jackie." At the podium, Falco clutched her Emmy and cried out "I'm not funny!" With this win, the fabulous Falco became the first actress in Emmy history to win the award for Best Actress in both comedy and drama, having won the prize three times for her work as Carmella on HBO's classic "The Sopranos."

On the drama side, AMC's "Mad Men" won the prize for Best Drama for a third consecutive year. Also three-peating was Bryan Cranston, who won another Emmy for Best Actor in a Drama Series for his work on "Breaking Bad." And Kyra Sedgwick, after five consecutive nominations, finally picked up her award for Best Actress in a Drama for "The Closer," beating out Julianna Margulies for "The Good Wife."

    They should not get every award, maybe a couple awards, but not all of them. I don't watch Glee nor do I care for it. Give the awards to deserving actors and actresses other than overrated shows like Glee. I Know of a show that deserves an emmy award and that would be the show, " Supernatural". That's a damn good show; sad that the show is underrated by these overrated, teen crap!

    Glee is not bad at all. It is just that the other shows are stronger in some aspects. Not to worry, though. I Believe In Ryan Murphy, and I Know that the second season is going to knock our socks off.

    I have never even seen Modern Family, nor has anyone I know, yet almost everyone I know watches Glee and 30 Rock.

    Yeah, but it shouldn't and maybe thats why Modern Family won

    But it should be about the viewers, rather then some snobby people with seven flatscreens to watch Modern Family on!

    Even then, I still don't think Glee should win

    glee won 3 of it's nominations...the one you bright guys probably didn't count was for best male guest on a comedy. That glee EMMY went to Neil Patrick Harris.

    This article is talking about the awards that were handed out last night. Neil Patrick Harris won his Emmy at the Creative Arts Emmys, a ceremony that was held last weekend, and was reported widely throughout the press.

    I hope Glee doesn't end like 'Twilight'. I've never watched Glee, but i think it's pretty retarted. Glee is trying to get big, then coast off of it for the rest of their lives. What a horrible world.

    Only about 2 of the actors/actresses in glee can actually sing . . . . . .and yes maybe they should have at least won one, but not more than 2 or 3 (They're relatively new and there are more experienced, better actors).
