“Mad Men” and “Modern Family” cleaned up at the 2011 Emmy Awards Sunday night. The 63rd annual awards show featured some surprises, a questionable opening sequence, and a few snubs too.

Kyle Chandler, of “Friday Night Lights” — the defunct DirecTV-only football drama, beat out Jon Hamm, Hugh Laurie, MIchael C. Hall, Timothy Olyphant, and Steve Buscemi to win Best Actor in a Drama, one of the biggest surprises of the night.

On the comedy side, Jim Parsons was not much of a surprise to win best actor in that category, since “Big Bang Theory” has been extended for three more years, at least. Some people felt that Steve Carell was snubbed — feel free to comment on that below.

Melissa McCarthy’s win for best actress in a comedy took the cake as she yelled “holy smokes” as she became a first time winner for the brand new series “Mike & Molly.” She beat Tina Fey AND Amy Poehler.
