The Betty White mania continues with her Primetime Emmy win this past Saturday for Best Guest Actress in a Comedy Series. If you have not seen White’s appearance in the May 2010 Saturday Night Live which won her this Emmy, you should immediately go to Hulu and see selected clips of that episode.
The trophy is the fifth Primetime Emmy received by the 88-year-old White, according to the TV academy. Her previous wins were for roles on various TV classics such as The Mary Tyler Moore Show and The Golden Girls.
Although White did not attend in person, she won her latest Emmy at the non-televised Creative Arts Ceremony which is the precursor to the main August 29 Primetime Emmy Awards and where two-thirds of the Awards are handed out.
Some other notable winners Saturday include:
Ryan Seacrest for producing the Best Reality TV Series (Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution)
Neil Patrick Harris for Best Guest Actor – Comedy Series (Glee)
John Lithgow for Best Guest Actor – Drama Series (Dexter)
Jeff Probst for Best Reality Show Host (Survivor)
Mia Michaels for Outstanding Choreography (So You Think You Can Dance)
Modern Family for Best Casting (comedy)
Mad Men for Best Casting (drama)
The televised portion of the Primetime Emmy Awards will be hosted by Jimmy Fallon and will air Sunday, Aug. 29 (8 p.m. ET) on NBC.
