Adam Mazer accepted his Emmy, reminding the audience of the issue at the core of his film. "The end of life debate is not going away. So let's keep talking about it," he said before pointing out the movie's real life subject. "Jack Kevorkian, I'm so grateful you're my friend, I'm even more grateful you're not my physician."

The Emmys are considered the television equivalent to the Academy Awards (for film), Grammy Awards (for music), and Tony Awards (for stage).  In other words, they are a BIG deal, especially to those in the TV industry.

Other winners from last night included Jane Lynch, Betty White, George Clooney, and Edie Falco. See below for additional highlights.
