BY LYNN ELBER
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — The ground-breaking action series "24," which turns one dangerous day into a season, found a satisfying end Sunday as it won three Emmys, including for best drama series and best actor for star Kiefer Sutherland. "The Office" was honored as best comedy.
One Emmy front-runner, sexy medical drama "Grey's Anatomy," was shut out in the awards.

Mariska Hargaty of "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" and Julia Dreyfus of the freshman comedy "The New Adventures of Old Christine" struck Emmy gold with lead actress awards for drama and comedy, respectively.
"Every once in a while you'll have an evening that just reminds you that you're given too much and this is
"Well, I'm not somebody who really believes in curses — but curse this, baby," Louis-Dreyfus said hoisting her trophy and making a veiled reference to the so-called "Seinfeld curse" that kept three of its stars from launching successful new series.
'24,'Office'win Emmys
The Emmy ceremony initially followed a predictable path Sunday as Tony Shalhoub won his third acting trophy for "Monk" and departed series "Will & Grace," "The West Wing" and "Huff" earned bittersweet toasts.
"I just want to say it's gratifying to be chosen from such a distinguished group of losers — actors," Shalhoub joked in accepting the award for best actor in a comedy.
Winning didn't take the sting out of cancellation for at least one star.
"It's not supposed to work this way, is it, when you say goodbye to something?" said Blythe Danner,

The surprises in the ceremony were courtesy of host Conan O'Brien and his inventive comedy bits, including a running gag that had Bob Newhart's life threatened if the show ran long.

Aaron Spelling, the prolific producer who died in June at 83, was paid often-tearful tribute by his one-time stars, including Jaclyn Smith,
"It's my second time hosting. And as you'll see tonight, the third time's the charm," O'Brien said.

Stewart was moderately self-effacing in his speech, saying after the first honor: "I think this year you actually made a terrible mistake. But thank you."
"American Idol," the blockbuster TV talent show, lost again in the reality-competition category as "The Amazing Race" picked up its fourth award.
Barry Manilow collected an Emmy for the special "Barry Manilow: Music and Passion."
Stephen Colbert of "The Colbert Report," presenting the reality award, took the opportunity to vent about being eclipsed by Manilow's special in the variety, music or comedy program category.
"I lost to Barry Manilow ... I lost to the Copacabana," wailed Colbert.
