The Emmys Give out Early Awards

Old and new actors find success in "alternative" roles.

Last night, the Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards honored some of the best and funniest on television at the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles.

 

Reuters reports that veteran actress Loretta Devine won her first Emmy, for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series, for her role on “Grey’s Anatomy.”

 

Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s Hollywood BFF Gwyneth Paltrow also took home her first Emmy for her guest role as the singing substitute teacher on the comedy “Glee.”

 

While these two seasoned actresses are best known for their work on the big screen, versatile actor-musician Justin Timberlake won two awards in two different categories: for Outstanding Music and Lyrics and Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series, for hosting “Saturday Night Live.”

 

The 30-year-old pop singer, who has won six Grammys, will need to make even more room on his award mantle, as he's already pocketed two other Emmys in May for his appearance on “Saturday Night Live.” Timberlake wasn’t present to receive his Creative Arts awards, which are traditionally seen as awards previewing who can expect to win at the Primetime Emmy ceremony, which airs September 18.
