Emmy Awards Entertainment

The entertainment fans finally got what they wanted ? the Emmy Awards ceremony, which took place a few days a go in Los Angeles. The US version of The Office was awarded as the best comedy and the US thriller 24 has won best drama and actor awards.

24 star Kiefer Sutherland said, collecting the two awards, that his experience on the entertainment show had been "nothing but remarkable". Dame Helen Mirren and Jeremy Irons were named best actress and best supporting actor in a mini-series for Elizabeth I. Scottish actress Kelly Macdonald was also recognized for her role in Richard Curtis`s TV movie The Girl in the Cafe. Sutherland`s best actor triumph follows four unsuccessful nominations for 24 in the few past years. He said: "Every once in a while you`ll have an evening that just reminds you that you`re given too much. This is that evening."

Steve Carell had been tipped for best comedy actor for his role in The Office, an American remake of the popular British series of the same name. Creator Ricky Gervais was in the audience to see the program win the best comedy prize. The best actress awards went to Mariska Hargitay for drama and Julia Louis-Dreyfus for comedy. Louis-Dreyfus made an apparent joke about the so-called "Seinfeld curse" which kept three of its stars from launching successful new entertainment series. "I`m not somebody who really believes in curses - but curse this, baby," she said, raising her trophy.
