'Mad Men' wins big at Emmys
Written Mathew Weiner accepts the award for outstanding writing for a drama series for his work on the "Mad Men" pilot episode "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes."

LOS ANGELES — The sleek '60s drama "Mad Men" made Emmy history Sunday as the first basic-cable show to win a top series award, while the sitcom "30 Rock" and its stars Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin also emerged as big winners.
"We're all so very grateful to have jobs in this turkey-burger economy." Fey said after accepting the best comedy series trophy for her satire about a late-night TV show.
He paid tribute to Fey, the NBC show's star and creator, as "the Elaine May of her generation."
"This is the greatest job I've ever had in my life," Baldwin said of his role an a network executive.
"I thank my parents for somehow raising me to have confidence that is disproportionate with my looks and abilities. Well done. That is what all parents should do," said Fey, who also won for best actress and writing in a comedy series.
Emmy voters rewarded quality, not ratings: Many of the winners draw relatively small audiences. AMC's "Mad Men," which looks at America through the prism of Madison Avenue, is lucky to get 2 million viewers.
Glenn Close of FX's "Damages" and Bryan Cranston of AMC's "Breaking Bad" captured drama acting trophies.
"We're proving that complicated, powerful, mature women are sexy in high entertainment and can carry a show," she said. "I call

Cranston won the trophy for his role of a desperate man who turns to making drugs.

Treatment" and Zeiljko Ivanek of "Damages" won supporting acting honors for the drama series. Jean Smart of ABC's "Samantha Who?" was honored as best supporting actress in a comedy series, with Jeremy Piven her actor counterpart for "Entourage."
The crowd at the 60th annual Primetime Emmy Awards laughed heartily, not a good sign for the hosts, who included Ryan Seacrest of "American Idol."
Don Rickles was honored for best individual performance in a variety or music program for "Mr. Warmth: The Don Rickles Project."
"It's a mistake," Rickles said. "I've been in the business 55 years and the biggest award I got was an ashtray from the Friar's in New York."
Best reality-competition program went to "The Amazing Race," the show's sixth award. It and "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" are now tied for most consecutive awards in a best-series category.

"I really look forward to the next administration, whoever it is," Jon Stewart said as he accepted the best variety, music or comedy series award for "The Daily Show." "I have nothing to follow that. I just really look forward to the next administration."
As the evening progressed, politics went from having a cameo to a co-starring role.
Later, Stewart and Stephen Colbert, whose "The Colbert Report" won a writing trophy, teamed to present an award—and exchange banton in which they used a package of prunes as a metaphor for the upcoming presidential election.
"America needs prunes. It may not be a young, sexy plum. Granted, it's shriveled and at times hard to swallow. But this dried-up old prune has the experience we need." Colbert said.
"It's hard for me to stay silent when I keep hearing that peace is only attainable through war. And there's nothing more scary than watching ignorance in action," he said, dedicating his award to "all people who feel compelled to speak out, and are not afraid to speak to power, and won't shut up and refuse to be silenced."
Tommy Smothers received a commemorative writing achievement for his work on the cutting-edge and controversial "The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour" from the late '60s — and turned serious.
Martin Sheen, who played a president on "The West Wing," lauded television for giving America a front-row seat to real presidential campaigns. Then he urged viewers to vote for "the candidate of your choice, at least once."
HBO's "John Adams," about the founding father, was named best miniseries and won other awards including acting trophies for Paul Giamatti, Laura Linney and Tom Wilkinson.
The award for best TV movie went to "Recount," about the contested 2000 Bush-Gore contest.

It may be difficult to restrain somebody who's worried, but you can. Don't base a decision on anybody's anxiety. Stay cool, and insist the others do the same.
HBO was the most-honored network with 26 awards.
The historical drama set a record for most awards, 13, including five trophies Sunday and eight previously announced. The record of 11 was held by HBO's "Angels in America," the TV academy said.

General Motors cuts costs, won't air Super Bowl ad
NEW YORK — General Motors Corp. said Monday that it will not air a TV advertisement during the 2009 Super Bowl, as the automaker continues to slash expenses as part of its restructuring plan.
GM spokeswoman Kelly Cusinato said that GM will remain a sponsor of the National Football League and will likely air ads
before and after the game.
"We're in the midst of cost cutting," Cusinato said. "We're scrutinizing all of our programs and all of our media spending ... we decided against it."
