Gisterenavond werden de Emmy Awards 2007 uitgereikt in Los Angeles. Gerechtigheid geschiede voor de derde keer want het finale seizoen van de meesterlijke mafia-reeks The Sopranos kaapte de hoofdprijs weg in de categorie ‘Beste Drama serie’. Ook regisseur Alan Tayloren schrijver David Chase werden bekroond voor hun bijdrage aan The Sopranos (nu officiëel de strafste tv serie aller tijden). 30 Rock (bij ons te zien op Eén, red.) won de Emmy voor ‘Beste Comedy serie’. In de acteurscategoriën gingen ondermeer James Spader (‘Boston Legal’), Ricky Gervais (‘Extras’) en Jeremy Piven (‘Entourage’) met een felbegeerde Emmy naar huis. Hieronder zetten we alle winnaars nog even op een rij.
