Drew Barrymoreexy actress Tina Fey's 30 Rock and the series Mad Men stole the show at the 61st Annual Primetime Emmy Awards, receiving top the honors at last nights event. 30 Rock creator Fey and co-stars Alec Baldwin and Tracy Morgan claimed their third consecutive trophy for Outstanding Comedy Series, while Mad Men was a repeat winner for Outstanding Drama Series. Fey’s series was an Emmy favorite, landing a whopping 22 nominations in 2009 after stealing the show at last year’s ceremony. Baldwin defended his title as the Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy, although Fey failed to secure a second win for Outstanding Lead Actress after United States Of Tara’s Toni Collette took home the prize. The funnywoman later caught up after 30 Rock beat out Entourage, Family Guy, Flight of the Conchords, How I Met Your Mother and The Office to reclaim the prize for Outstanding Comedy Series. Thanking her patient cast and crew, Fey said: "That was a real nail biter... I want to thank the family and loved ones of all the people who work on the show.. . for almost four years now." Another winner, actress Glenn Close, claimed victory for her lead role on TV drama Damages for the second year running. Meanwhile, veteran actress Jessica Lange was gracious after her name was called for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Miniseries or Movie for her role in TV movie Grey Gardens. The star praised co-star Drew Barrymore for helping to reignite her career: "This part was a gift and they don’t come around that often for me anymore... and above all (I thank) the other half, Drew Barrymore, for her extraordinary talent, for her brilliance, for her determination." The ceremony, held at Los Angeles’ Nokia Theater, also featured a performance from Sarah McLachlan, who paid tribute to recently deceased entertainers with a rendition of her ballad I Will Remember You.This year’s show was hosted by How I Met Your Mother star Neil Patrick Harris, who opened with a song and dance number. Harris ended his musical routine with a light-hearted jab at MTV Video Music Award stage invader Kanye West, warning nominees to keep an eye on celebrities looking to crash their acceptance speeches. Harris joked, "Here’s hoping Kanye West likes 30 Rock."
