The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences held their awards ceremony for technical, group, and individual achievements (if these were to be handed out on the actual televised Emmy Awards August 29, the show would end up being about twice as long).

Betty White continues to reign supreme after signing a two book deal earlier this week, receiving an award for Best Guest Actress in a Comedy for her hosting duties on Saturday Night Live in May, while Neil Patrick Harris got Emmys for Best Guest Actor in A Comedy for his guest appearance on Glee, and Best Special Class Program for his hosting of The Tony Awards.

John Lithgow received a well deserved Emmy for Best Guest Actor in a Drama series for his work on Dexteras the fourth season’s big bad (which is out on DVD now BTW).  Anne Margret received the Best Guest Actressaward for her work on Law&Order: Perverts SVU.

Looks like Mad Men is going to continue it’s winning streak for AMC, getting an Emmy for Best Casting Of A Drama Series, while Modern Family recieved one for Comedy.

Movieline has a full list of last night’s winners in all 897 categories (Ok it’s more like 64).
