It’s the biggest night in television. But will it be the most surprising one? Turns out, not quite. Though there were a few shockers during Sunday’s 64th annual Emmy Awards — for instance, Homeland‘s Damian Lewis wins over Breaking Bad‘s Bryan Cranston — ABC’s Modern Family was, per usual, the belle of the ball with four Emmys, including Outstanding Comedy series. Other big winners of the evening? Showtime’s Homeland — which also picked up four wins, including Outstanding Drama — HBO’s Game Change — which won four awards, including Best Miniseries or Movie — and Louis C.K., who won Outstanding Writing for his FX darling Louie and Outstanding Writing in a Variety, Music, or Comedy Special for Louis C.K. Live at the Beacon Theater.
