Tina Fey received a best guest actress in a comedy Emmy for her imitation of Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin on "Saturday Night Live."

At the same ceremony, Ellen Burstyn was given the prize for best guest actress on a drama for her work on "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit."
Burstyn had received five nominations, but this was her first win.
These awards precede the main ceremony, which will be held next Sunday, September 20, and will be hosted by Neil Patrick Harris.

Laura Linney's Chances for an Emmy Next Year
Gina Wilhelm Actress - Laura Linney's Chances for an Emmy Next Year
The Los Angeles Times' Awards Insider column is already handicapping Laura Linney's chances of winning an Emmy for lead actress in a comedy series next year.
Tom O'Neil, the writer of the column, has already decided that Tina Fey will win again this year for "30 Rock," and so has moved on to next year's contest.
Linney is set to star in "The C Word" on Showtime, her series debut. In the hour-long comedy, Linney plays a suburban housewife facing cancer.
Showtime president Robert Greenblatt voiced his confidence in Linney, saying, "She will no doubt make this character both heartbreaking and disarmingly funny."
He added that he was thrilled she had chosen this show for her series debut.
Laura Linney has already won an Emmy every time she's been nominated. Her most recent win was for lead actress in a movie or miniseries for her portrayal of Abigail Adams in "John Adams."
She also won in the same category in 2002 for "Wild Iris." She also won for guest actress in a comedy series for her work in "Frasier" in 2004.
Linney has also received three Oscar nominations, two for lead actress in "You Can Count on Me" and "The Savages" and one for supporting actress in "Kinsey."

Kate Winslet and Tina Fey Win Golden Globes
Gina Wilhelm Actress - Kate Winslet and Tina Fey Win Golden Globes
The Golden Globe ceremony was held last night, January 11, 2009.
Despite an earlier web mistake, it was Kate Winslet, not Anne Hathaway, who took home the best actress in a drama award for her role in "Revolutionary Road."
Winslet also received a supporting actress award for her work in "The Reader."
On the television side of things, Tina Fey won best actress in a comedy series for her work on "30 Rock." The program, which she also writes and produces, won for best television musical or comedy.
The Golden Globes have a reputation for being fairly informal. Mickey Rourke (who won best actor in a drama for "The Wrestler") gave an acceptance speech littered with obscenity.
Fey told her internet critics to "suck it."
In her speech, Kate Winslet said she was unaccustomed to victory. She had been nominated for five previous Golden Globes, but never won.
Now it's on to the Oscars, where Winslet also has five nominations but no wins.
