Tina Fey's '30 Rock' and hit US TV series 'Mad Men' were the big winners at the 61st Emmy Awards.

'30 Rock' was favourite to sweep the awards with a massive 22 nominations. Alec Baldwin defended his title as Outstanding Lead Actor in a comedy, whilst Tina Fey wasn't able to repeat the feat, with Australia's own Toni Collette collecting the gong for Outstanding Lead Actress in a comedy.
Collette's portrayal of a wife with a multi personality disorder in the 'United States Of Tara' has won her world wide acclaim, and the actress was genuinely shocked when announced as the winner.
"Wow this is insanely confronting," Collette said as she took the stage to receive the award.
"I'm so humble to be here in this room let alone up on this stage."
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 by poking fun at MTV Video Music Award stage invader Kanye West, warning nominees to keep an eye on celebrities looking to crash their acceptance speeches.
