James Gandolfini and Cory Monteith will both receive special tributes at the Primetime Emmy Awards this year, along with three other individuals who passed away this year. The Television Academy announced yesterday that Gandolfini, Monteith, Jean Stapleton, Jonathan Winters and Gary David Goldberg will all get a special tribute in addition to the annual "In Memoriam" segment, which commemorates those who have died over the past year.

According to CBS News, "Sopranos" co-star Edie Falco will pay tribute to Gandolfini, who passed away in June. Monteith, who passed away in July, will be honored by "Glee" co-star Jane Lynch. Rob Reiner will honor "All in the Family" actress Stapleton, Michael J. Fox will pay tribute to "Family Ties" producer Goldberg and Robin Williams remember Winters, his "Mork & Mindy" co-star and mentor. 

"The 'In Memoriam' is a very emotional and evocative segment for the Emmys, or any annual awards program," executive producer Ken Ehrlich said. "These five individuals brought us such great entertainment and joy, so having their close friends share personal remembrances is something that will be very meaningful for television audiences across the country and across the generations. And, our traditional 'In Memoriam' segment will be presented in a unique new format that will give added importance to an already much anticipated segment of the Emmy show."

The 65th Creative Arts Emmy Awards were held on Sunday, honoring the behind-the-scenes individuals of TV as well as guest actors and actresses. Bob Newhart won his first ever Emmy for his guest appearance on "The Big Bang Theory" while Carrie Preston did the same for her work on "The Good Wife."

Neil Patrick Harris will host the 65th Primetime Emmys, which airs Sept. 22 at 8 p.m. ET on CBS. "American Horror Story: Asylum" has the most Emmy nominations with 17, while HBO's "Behind the Candelabra" has won the most so far with eight Creative Arts Emmys.
