And the Emmy Goes To...: The Jews, lots of them. Aaron Sorkin's beloved "The West Wing," picked up the top nod for Best Drama Series, but Hebrew actors and actresses abounded in other categories. Debra Messing was named Best Actress in a Comedy Series, with Brad Garrett and Doris Roberts picking up Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress respectively for their work in "Everybody Loves Raymond." Hollywood uber-heavyweight Steven Spielberg yanked the miniseries award for his sci-fi "Taken," showing he dominates the miniseries genre after previous hit "Band of Brothers."
Then of course, there's Jon Stewart. God bless Jon Stewart. Not only did the funniest tribesman in show biz today help out with the hosting duties, delivering some of the best zingers of the night, he took home two Emmy's. One was for Best Variety, Music or Comedy Series. Another was for writing in that category.
Just in case that wasn't enough Jews, there's always Edie Falco (Best Actress in a Drama Series). No, she's not actually Jewish, but she played the wife of an Orthodox rabbi in A Price Above Rubies. That's gotta count for something.
