Die Emmys sind für dieses Jahr durch und hier sind die Ergebnisse:

Marked by numerous awards for veteran performers and emotional career-appreciation tributes, the 57th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards, featured playful musical numbers and heartfelt words of support on behalf of the victims of Hurricane Katrina.

In its ninth and final season, the CBS sitcom Everybody Loves Raymond was named Outstanding Comedy Series. In its debut season, the ABC hit Lost took top honors as Outstanding Drama Series. Outstanding Reality-Competition Series went to CBS’ The Amazing Race.

The television industry’s commitment to aiding the storm’s victims was evident throughout the evening, beginning with New Orleans native DeGeneres, who lightened the heartfelt comments during her opening monologue with a comical zinger: “It’s times like this when we really need laughter. Look for me next month when I host the North Korean People’s Choice Awards.”

Many presenters and winners wore magnolias, the official state flower of both Louisiana and Mississippi. In addition, videotaped spots on behalf of the Television Academy’s designated charity, Habitat for Humanity, ran throughout the program.

The acting categories included a handful of repeat winners, as well as several genuine surprises. For the second consecutive year, Outstanding Actor in a Comedy Series went to Tony Shalhoub for his performance as obsessive-compulsive detective Adrian Monk in the USA series Monk, and Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series went to James Spader for his work as ethically challenged attorney Alan Shore in ABC’s Boston Legal.

But in defiance of advance predictions by armies of pre-Emmy handicappers, Felicity Huffman was named Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series for her performance as beleaguered suburban wife and mother Lynettte Scavo on ABC’s Desperate Housewives. Patricia Arquette, who said she was "99% certain (she) would not win," prevailed as Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for her portrayal of psychic crime solver Allison DuBois in NBC’s Medium. Huffman bested her Desperate co-stars Teri Hatcher and Marcia Cross, as well as Raymond’s Patricia Heaton and Malcolm in the Middle’s Jane Kaczmarek.

The Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series went to Everybody Loves Raymond’s Brad Garrett, marking his third victory in the category. Garrett began his acceptance speech with the quip, “I have to dedicate this to Britney and our baby.” Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series was given to William Shatner for his performance as loose-cannon lawyer Denny Crane on Boston Legal. Last year, Shatner won the award for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series for the same role.

Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series went to Doris Roberts, the meddling mother-in-law on Everybody Loves Raymond, and Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series was given to Blythe Danner for the role of Isabelle “Izzy” Huffstodt on the Showtime original series Huff. Roberts’ victory marked her fourth Emmy for her work on Raymond, and her fifth Emmy overall—she was previously honored as Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama series for her work on the series St. Elsewhere. This year, Danner was also nominated for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series for her work on Will & Grace, and for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Miniseries or a Movie for the CBS/Hallmark Hall of Fame production Back When We Were Grownups.

Among movies and miniseries, four separate HBO productions took home the acting prizes. Outstanding Lead Actor went to Geoffrey Rush in the title role of protean British actor Peter Sellers in The Life and Death of Peter Sellers; Outstanding Lead Actress was won by S. Epatha Merkerson for Lackawanna Blues; living legend Paul Newman was named Outstanding Supporting Actor for Empire Falls; and Jane Alexander topped the Outstanding Supporting Actress category for Warm Springs. HBO won Best Movie as well, with Warm Springs, about President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s struggle with polio, taking top honors. In the Outstanding Miniseries category, however, it was PBS on top with the Masterpiece Theater presentation The Lost Prince.

Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series was won by Mitchell Hurwitz and Jim Vallely for Arrested Development, while Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series went to David Shore for the Fox medical series House. Outstanding Writing for a Movie or Miniseries went to Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely for The Life and Death of Peter Sellers.

In the directing categories, ABC’s two big hits took top honors. Outstanding Directing for a Comedy Series went to Charles McDougall for the pilot of Desperate Housewives, and Outstanding Directing for a Drama Series was won by J.J. Abrams for the pilot of Lost. Meanwhile, Outstanding Directing for a Movie or Miniseries was won by Stephen Hopkins for The Life and Death of Peter Sellers.

Outstanding Variety or Music Program was won by the Comedy Central’s The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, which also took home top honors for Outstanding Writing for a Variety or Music Program. Outstanding Directing for a Variety or Music Program went to Buddy Gunts for the opening ceremony of the Games of the XXVIII Olympiad on NBC. The winner for Outstanding Individual Performance in a Variety or Music Program was Hugh Jackman for hosting the 58th Annual Tony Awards on CBS.

The familiar television phrase “tune in” took on fresh meaning at this year’s Emmys, which were filled with tunes from the get-go. Executive producer Ken Ehrlich, who has guided the Grammy Awards for the past 25 years brought his musical expertise to the fore with a rousing opening performance by Earth, Wind and Fire and the Black Eyed Peas, who blended their voices in service of the Earth, Wind and Fire hit “September,” reworked with new lyrics recapping the year in television. Setting the tone for an ebullient evening, Everybody Loves Raymond co-star Doris Roberts was coaxed from her seat to dance in the aisles with members of the band.

In another musical twist, this year’s Emmy’s featured a recurring segment called “Emmy Idol,” in which familiar TV faces sang the theme songs from classic TV series, with the viewing audience invited to vote on its favorites online or via text messaging. Donald Trump and Will & Grace’s Megan Mullaly sang the theme from Green Acres, Kristen Bell of UPN’s Veronica Mars sang the theme from Fame, CSI’s Gary Dourdan and Grammy winner Macy Gray, who appeared in HBO’s Lackawanna Blues, sang the theme from The Jeffersons and William Shatner was joined by mezzo soprano opera legend Frederica Von Stade for an unlikely rendition of the theme from Shatner’s former series Star Trek.

The irony of New York City real estate magnate Trump singing the line “Keep Manhattan, just give me that countryside,” while clutching a pitchfork and dressed in overalls rather than a Brioni suit elicited a huge laugh from the Shrine Auditorium crowd, and it came as little surprise that the duo earned the most votes from the home viewers.

The evening’s two major tributes included an unexpected appearance by David Letterman, who spoke warmly on behalf of his idol, mentor and friend Johnny Carson, who passed away earlier this year, and Television Academy Chairman Dick Askin was joined by Alan Alda to pay tribute to former nightly news anchors Tom Brokaw and Dan Rather, as well as the late Peter Jennings.

Brokaw spoke on behalf of the trio, hailed as "Mt. Rushmore"-like figures in the world of professional journalism, when he expressed great pride in the "next great generation of journalists for covering Katrina so brilliantly for the last three weeks." Based on the standing ovation Brokaw and Rather received, with an image of Jennings looming above them on a video monitor, the reverent audience shared his sentiments.
