Grey Gardens wins big at the Emmys! Best movie, actress, and supporting actor (and art direction, hairstyling, and prosthetic makeup!)

Congratulations to all! I especially loved director/producer/writer Michael Sucsy's speech with the other producers (and Al Maysles) onstage, and Jessica Lange's love for the Grey Gardens team during her speech!

HBO's 'Grey Gardens' racks up; Lange wins best actress

The movie and miniseries categories were, as usual, dominated by HBO, and especially its movie Grey Gardens, at the 61st annual Emmy Awards on Sunday. Gardens won the Emmy for best TV movie, star Jessica Lange won the best actress award, defeating her co-star Drew Barrymore, and Ken Howard also won as best supporting actor.

I'd like to add my congrats to the Grey Gardens team for a great night! It was slightly disappointing to me that Drew didn't take Best Actress, but Jessica Lange could not have been more gracious in her acceptance speech. Anyway, nobody could possibly claim that she didn't certainly earn that Emmy. I loved Ken Howard's and Michael Sucsy's speeches too...obviously very heartfelt. Long live Grey Gardens!
