No less flashy, but a lot more covered at the award show, was talk show host Ellen DeGeneres , who looked ready to start a rock band in sneakers and a black skinny tie. Her chat program was awarded with Outstanding Talk Show Episode for "Ellen & Portia's Wedding Day." The longtime couple wed in August 2008, while same-sex marriages were briefly legal in California before the November passing of Prop. 8.
Among the other winner at last night's event? Showtime's "The L Word" in the Special Recognition category, which was joined in the category by FunnyorDie.com viral video "Prop 8: The Musical"; "Milk" for Outstanding Film - Wide Release; ABC's "Desperate Housewives" for Outstanding Comedy Series; ABC's "Brothers & Sisters" for Outstanding Drama Series and "Unidentified Funk," an episode of CBS' "The New Adventures of Old Christine," for Outstanding Individual Episode.
