Louis C.K., Sofia Vergara Win Big at Primetime Emmys
The 64th Annual Emmy Awards is in the books and the Latino nominees did not fail to impress.
Louis C.K., Bobby Cannavale, and Sofia Vergara were the three Latinos up for an Emmy.
Mexican-American comedian Louis C.K. received seven nominations, the highest of any individual in one year
In the end, Louis C.K. received two Emmys for writing - one for his FX comedy series Louie and one for his FX comedy special Live at the Beacon Theatre.
"I wanted another one, so that's nice," the comedian said during his second acceptance speech.
Louis C.K. has worked on NBC's Saturday Night Live skits and his writing credits include The Late Show with David Letterman, Late Night with Conan O'Brien, The Dana Carvey Show and the Chris Rock Show - of which he received three Primetime Emmy® Award nominations and a win for "Best Writing in a Variety or Comedy Series." C.K. performs stand up comedy routines on shows likeThe Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Lopez Tonight and on HBO's One Night Stand.
Vergara is the highest paid TV actress and was nominated for the third consecutive year, for Best Supporting Actress in a comedy, for her role as Gloria Delgado-Pritchett in ABC's "Modern Family."
In the end, Vergara did not win the individual award - it went to co-star Julie Bowen. The Columbian actress did have much to celebrate as "Modern Family" took home the Emmy for Outstanding Comedy Series for the third consecutive year. The show also won for supporting actor and director.
Vergara, however, did win with fashionistas. She took to the red carpet in a skintight, beaded Zuhair Murad gown with oose curls and Neil Lane bling jewelry.
The dress could hardly hold all the actress' assets though. Just before hitting the stage, Vergara tweeted am image of the back of her dress, her zipper broken and curves exposed.
Cannavale currently co-stars as "Dr. Mike Cruz" on the Showtime comedy series Nurse Jackie. He was nominated for Outstanding Guest Actor In A Comedy Series. In 2005, he won Outstanding Guest Actor In A Comedy Series for his role as Vince on NBC's Will & Grace.
Overall, Homeland, Modern Family and Game Change were the big winners of the night.
Showtime's Homeland turned terrorism into great drama, sweeping awards for outstanding drama, lead actor (Damian Lewis), lead actress (Claire Danes) and writing (Alex Gansa, Howard Gordon and Gideon Raff) during The 64th Primetime Emmy Awards on Sunday at the NOKIA Theater L.A. LIVE in downtown Los Angeles.
The Daily Show with Jon Stewart won an Emmy for outstanding variety series, its tenth in a row. Stewart crawled down the aisle to reach the stage, held back by fellow nominees Jimmy Fallon and Stephen Colbert.
The Amazing Race received an Emmy for outstanding reality-competition program, its ninth in the last 10 years. Tom Bergeron of ABC's Dancing With the Stars was selected outstanding reality host, an award he attributed to the absence of Survivor's Jeff Probst, a previous Emmy recipient on multiple occasions, from the list of nominees.
