Terry O'Quinn, from "Lost," was named best supporting actor in a drama."Sometimes when we're rolling around in the jungle in the mud, hitting each other and stabbing each other, I wonder what it would be like to bake up a sheet of cookies on Wisteria Lane and get one of their checks," O'Quinn said, referring to "Desperate Housewives."
"Then I think about my castmates and crewmates, and I realize why I have the best job in the world," said O'Quinn, whose award came in a resurgent creative season for the series.
How embarrassing! The girl announcer pronounced Katherine Heigl's name "Hi-jul". It should be in her job description to know how to say everyone's name.
First they misprounced her name when she was presenting and she corrected them.
Host Ryan Seacrest pull some slight punchline like "Hey you're looking at Vanessa Hudgens photo, Zoom out..Zoom out!!!"
James Spader was named best drama series actor for "Boston Legal," and talked as if he had pilfered it from fellow nominee Gandolfini.
"Oh my goodness, I feel like I just stole a pile of money from the mob. And they're all sitting over there," Spader said, acknowledging him and the rest of "The Sopranos" cast in the Shrine Auditorium audience.
Sally Field was honored as best actress in a drama for "Brothers & Sisters." "How can that be? These wonderful actors," Field said. Clearly flustered, she lost her train of thought at one point, shouting at the audience to stop applauding while she struggled to finish her acceptance speech. but she said "If Mothers rules the World, there will be no DAMN WAR."

The biggest laugh of the night was earned by presenters Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert, after they announced that Ricky Gervais of "Extras" had won the award for best comedy series actor."Ricky Gervais could not be here tonight. Instead we're going to give this to our friend, Steve Carell," Stewart said. Carell, a nominee for "The Office," bounded on stage, sharing a group hug with Stewart and Colbert.
Then when she won for best supporting actress in a drama, she clearly mouthed "sh*t" and Fox bleeped her out.
"My own mother told me I didn't have a shot in hell at winning tonight," said Katherine Heigl of "Grey's Anatomy." "This is my dream come true. I've been doing this for 17 years."
The usually staid awards needed attention from the censors from the start, with first presenter Ray Romano. He joked about his former "Everybody Loves Raymond" wife, Patricia Heaton, sleeping with her new "Back to You" co-star Kelsey Grammer
But he used a stronger word, which prompted Fox to black out the show for a few seconds. Heigl mouthed another expletive, which Fox unsuccessfully tried to evade with a different camera shot.
Jeremy Piven, who plays a slick Hollywood agent on the comedy "Entourage," was another early winner.
"What an embarrassment of riches to even be able to play this role," said Piven.
"I want to thank our entire crew. I don't know any of their names," he joked.
"In essence, this is a story about a gangster," said "The Sopranos" creator David Chase. "And gangsters are out there taking their kids to college, and taking their kids to school, and putting food on their table.
"And, hell, let's face it, if the world and this nation was run by gangsters" -- Chase paused and shrugged, as everyone laughed -- "maybe it is."
Even Kanye West did his part, competing in a "Don't Forget the Lyrics!" spoof with Rainn Wilson of "The Office." Told to finish off the lyrics of West's new single, "Stronger," West sang "you" instead of "ya" and Wilson got it right.
"I never win," muttered West, jokingly; he's been publicly peeved over previous awards show losses.
