Los Angeles: The 65th Emmy Awards reflected a wild and unusual blend of the tried-and-correct and brave and-perilous Sunday on TV's grandest night.

Throughout the three-hour-in addition to service at Los Angeles' Nokia Theatre had by the continually stimulating Neil Patrick Harris, the Emmys feted past champs as The Big Bang Theory's Jim Parsons and Veep's Julia-Louis Dreyfus, while finding space for astound victors Bobby Cannavale, from Boardwalk Empire, Merritt Wever, from Nurse Jackie and Tony Hale, from Veep.

As lately, the Emmys were isolated into four sections: parody, dramatization, actuality customizing and TV films and-miniseries.

While a percentage of the decisions boded well for any individual who sits in front of the TV as indefatigablely as most viewers do, the Emmys appeared resolved to tilt against both the wind of pundit's surveys and the tide of ubiquitous feeling.

The main grant of the night headed off to a relative obscure, Merritt Wever, in a show barely anybody watches, Nurse Jackie. Wever's win for supporting performing artist in a drama took a stab at the out of pocket of Modern Family's Julie Bowen and Sofia Vergara, 30 Rock's Jane Krakowski, The Big Bang Theory's Mayim Bialik and past champ Jane Lynch, in Glee.

An obviously dazed Wever said she had no opportunity to say anything, so she wouldn't.

"Merritt Wever," Harris jested great naturedly, after a business break. "Best discourse ever. Good fortunes every living soul else."

Minutes after the fact, Veep's Tony Hale rehashed the accomplishment, charming the supporting on-screen character Emmy preawards favourites Ty Burell, Ed O'neill and Jesse Tyler Ferguson from Modern Family, and Saturday Night Live's Bill Hader.

"Indeed, to be on a record with those fellows is insane humbling," Hale said, noticeably moved.

It was the first run through in four years that an on-screen character from Modern Family neglected to win in the class.

Apparently, the most amazing astonish of the nighttime came halfway through, when The Voice finished The Amazing Race's astonishing Emmy streak with a not by any stretch of the imagination unforeseen win for remarkable actuality rivalry arrangement. The Amazing Race had won each year between 2003 and 2012, aside from in 2010, when Top Chef won.

Laura Linney won an amaze miniseries Emmy for The Big C: Hereafter over a field that incorporated a year ago victor Jessica Lange, from American Horror Story, and Top of the Lake's Elisabeth Moss.

Exactly when it looked as though it was set to be a nighttime of bombshells, vigorously favoured Julia Louis-Dreyfus, a year ago champ and the oddsmakers' leader at the end of the day, won the Emmy for lead on-screen character in a parody, for Veep.

Louis-Dreyfus said she was enchanted to have the ability to make individuals chuckle, truism, "It's a blissful approach to bring home the bacon."

It was Louis-Dreyfus' fourth Emmy general. She won her first Emmy in 2006, for Seinfeld.

An alternate past victor, Jim Parsons, won lead performer in a parody for the third time, for The Big Bang Theory. Parsons first won the Emmy in The Big Bang Theory's first season in 2010, and again in 2011.

Later in the night, Homeland's Claire Danes won exceptional lead performing artist in a dramatization, for Homeland, resolution a series of surprises that had more than a couple of longtime Emmy watchers on Twitter calling it the most abnormal Emmys in later memory.

Jane Lynch gave a serene, sincere tribute to Cory Monteith halfway through the service. Lynch kept tabs on Monteith's impact on an adolescent era of Glee fans, and how warm and talented he was in individual, in spite of his particular devils.

"The first occasion when we saw Cory he had a star quality and a real considerate sweetness that made us become hopelessly enamored with him," Lynch told the quieted theater. "He was no demonstration."

Monteith was not immaculate, either Lynch reminded her crowd, "however not, one or the other are we."

Monteith will be recollected for who he was, Lynch said, and how, for a short time, he touched such a variety of adolescent individuals on a momentous level.

Robin Williams saluted the unbelievable comic Jonathan Winters in the first of the nighttime's stand-alone tributes. Winters was one of William's ahead of schedule persuasions - "however he favored the saying symbol," Williams joked - and Williams grieves his passing still.

Furthermore All in the Family's Rob Reiner gave a short, particular tribute to his TV mother by marriage, Jean Stapleton, who played Edith Bunker on the time-tried standard sitcom.

In an overlong, mid-show segue that appeared to be strangely out-of-spot, an uniquely curbed Sir Elton John performed a tribute to Liberace, in praise to the various Emmy winning film Behind the Candelabra. Sir Elton's outfit appeared to be strangely controlled, given Liberace's notoriety for pizazz, even as Candelabra star Michael Douglas helped the group of onlookers that one to remember Liberace's favourite declarations was, "Too much of an exceptional thing is superb."

What's more in a particularly out-of-spot respect to history, Carrie Underwood paid tribute to TV scope of 1963's John F. Kennedy death by singing The Beatles' excellent hit Yesterday.
