2011 Emmy Award Winners: The Complete List Plus An Awkward Charlie Sheen Moment
The 63rd Primetime Emmy Awards aired live on Fox this past Sunday and many of the “usual suspects” took top prizes as the event including a fourth win for Mad Men and a top prize for The Daily Show with Jon Stewart which won the category for the ninth year in a row
Along with prizes being handed out, former Two and a Half Men star Charlie Sheen took to the stage to announce the best comedy actor prize, referring to the award as “his category” and announcing:
“I want to take a moment to get something off my chest, to say a few words to everyone here from Two and a Half Men,” while adding, “From the bottom of my heart, I wish you nothing but the best for this upcoming season. We spent eight wonderful years together and I know you will continue to make great television.”
When Big Bang Theory actor Jim Parsons won the category (another show by Two and a Half Men showrunner Chuck Lorre) he said of Sheen presenting his award:
“This is odd for so many reasons.”
