The 65th Primetime Emmy Awards were announced at the Nokia Theatre at Los Angeles on Sunday. The show was hosted by actor Neil Patrick Harris (How I Met Your Mother fame).
The show also saw the performances by singers Elton John and Carrie Underwood. Actors like Michael Douglas, Matt Damon, Al Pacino, Alec Baldwin, and Jimmy Kimmel attended the show.
While Harris entertained the audience with his vibrant hosting, it was his impromptu dance to a musical "It's the number in the middle of the show" that was well-received.
The show also gave tribute to actors who passed away, including "Glee" star Cory Monteith and "The Sopranos" actor James Gandolfini.
Another special feature of the award ceremony was the addition of the outstanding choreographer award, which was bagged by Derek Hough for dance reality show "Dancing With the Stars".
