The 35-year-old actress, who is renowned for her gushing speeches, was clearly emotional as she paid tribute to her own mother while accepting the award.

She said: “Mildred Pierce was capable of great acts of love as a mother. It doesn’t matter how old you are or what you do with your life, you will never stop needing your mum. And I will never stop needing mine, so thanks, Mum.”

Emmy Awards 2011 Live Blog with Jane Lynch, ‘Game of Thrones’ and ‘Mildred Pierce, Waiting for the Emmy to start. Just posted a story about Alec Baldwin.

We just pubbed a story about the opening skit that, in part, said this: “In the segment that was supposed to open Sunday’s primetime telecast, Mr. Baldwin plays a fictional president of a television studio. The joke that Fox cut involved a bit in which Mr. Baldwin, while on the telephone, asked whether Mr. Murdoch was listening into the call–an allusion to the phone hacking scandal that has plagued News Corp. in recent months. Leonard Nimoy of “Star Trek” replaced Mr. Baldwin in the segment, which will open the show Sunday evening without the joke.”

Unsurprisingly, the ‘Mad Men’ sequence was the best part of Jane Lynch’s opening number. Saves the number.

Was that a collective gasp after the Katie Holmes joke? Oh snap.
