Modern Family was the big winner this year at the 2010 Emmy Awards taking home Outstanding Comedy Series, Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series, Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series and more.

[photogallerylink id=70136]HBO‘s TV movie Temple Grandin, about the life of an autistic doctor, also scooped up a ton of Emmys, including Best Movie. Glee didn’t take home as many awards as predicted, but actress Jane Lynch did go home her own for Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy and creator Ryan Murphy grabbed Best Directing for a Comedy Series.

Host Jimmy Fallon used music to accompany many of his jokes throughout the show, including an elaborate opening number set to Bruce Springsteen‘s “Born to Run”.
