It sure was one of the queerest Emmys in recent memory. Gay performers and TV shows which feature gay characters are the big winners at the 2010 Emmys in the US, including queer favourites Modern Family and Glee. Modern Family, the popular TV comedy series which is one of the highest-rating shows in Australia, scored 14 nominations at this year’s Emmys, and also claimed more awards. Eric Stonestreet and Ty Burrell who play gay couple Cameron and Mitchel were both up for the Outstanding Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series, along with Glee’s real life gay Chris Cofler and Neil Patrick Harris ( How I Met Your Mother ), and Jon Cryer ( Two and a Half Men ). Eric Stonestreet took out the award which was the 38-year-old’s first Emmy. Modern Family also took the awards for Outstanding Writing in a Comedy Series and Outstanding Comedy Series. “We are so happy that you have let us into your families,” said the show’s creator Steven Levitan when accepting the outstanding comedy series gong. Glee was the other big queer winner of the night, and with a mammoth 19 nominations, were clear favourites to win awards. Series creator Ryan Murphy took the award for Outstanding Direction of A Comedy series. He said in his speech: “Thank you so much. I’m so shocked. I would like to thank my beautiful cast, whom I love so much. “Glee is about the importance of arts education, so I would like to dedicate this to all my teachers who taught me to sing and finger-paint.” Real life out lesbian Jane Lynch, who plays surly tracksuit-wearing coach Sue Sylvester in the show, won Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series and thanked her wife in her speech. Lynch brought plenty of laughs as he thanked her ‘Lord and Creator’ Ryan Murphy for creating the ‘role of a lifetime’ and “the cast who are so young and fresh-faced, and when I’m not seething with jealousy, I’m so proud of you. And I love you my wife Laura and my little girl, Haden.” |
