"I'm one of those pesky Brits, I apologize," said Lewis. "I don't really believe in judging art, but I thought I'd show up just in case."

"My husband, my love, my life, my baby daddy, this doesn't mean anything without you," Danes said during her acceptance speech.

Julia Louis-Dreyfus from Veep won the Emmy for Best Lead Actress in a Comedy for her role as a caustic U.S. vice president and "Two and a Half Men," Jon Cryer won the award for Lead Actor in a Comedy series.
