Notable upsets included Toni Collette (United States of Tara) besting Tina Fey (30 Rock) in the Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy category , and Kristin Chenoweth's Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy win for her work in the dead-as-a-doornail series Pushing Daisies. Repeat winners included The Amazing Race, which picked up its seventh Best Reality-Competition Emmy; 30 Rock (Outstanding Comedy and Outstanding Writing for a Comedy); and Mad Men, winning its second consecutive award for Outstanding Drama. Also repeating their 2008 wins were Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad) and Glenn Close (Damages) for Outstanding Lead Actor and Actress in a Drama.

Kristin Chenoweth and Jon Cryer were among the early winners at 61st Primetime Emmy Awards on Sunday, September 20. Chenoweth won the Best Supporting Actress in Comedy for her role on the now-canceled "Pushing Daisies" while Cryer snagged the Best Supporting Actor part.
Cryer, the depicter of Alan on "Two and a Half Men" beat Neil Patrick Harris who was hosting the show. In finding out that his role as Barney on "How I Met Your Mother" did not win, Harris cracked the joke, "It's not awkward. I won't let it get awkward."
Other winners in the Comedy category include Toni Collette from "United States of Tara" and Alec Baldwin from "30 Rock" for Best Actress and Actor respectively. On his acceptance speech Baldwin gave a shout out to Tina Fey and dedicated the awards to Executive Producer Lorne Michaels.
