PRIMETIME EMMY WINNERS

The very first Emmy Award was given to a ventriloquist named Shirley Dinsdale who worked with a puppet called Judy Splinters. Is that significant? Of course it is. That fact coupled with the design of the award itself – a woman holding an atom – represent the true heart of television’s most significant celebration: artistic inspiration, scientific technology, and wooden humanoids that only talk with a hand shoved up their back.

Ponder that while you bask in the glory of the victorious. Here are the winners of the 2011 Primetime Emmy Awards.
