US comedy Modern Family and the British period drama Downton Abbey both took home four accolades from the 63rd Primetime Emmy Awards ceremony which took place at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles last night.

Hit dramas Mad Men and Mildred Pierce were also awarded some of the top prizes at the ceremony.

Modern Family was named Best Comedy Series, with its stars Julie Bowen and Ty Burrell taking home the prizes for Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series and Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series respectively.

Steven Levitan and Jeffrey Richman also won in the Writing, Comedy Series category.

Downton Abbey’s awards included Best Miniseries and Best Supporting Actress in a Miniseries or Movie for Dame Maggie Smith.

The show’s writer, Julian Fellowes, was honoured for Outstanding Writing in a Miniseries, Movie or Dramatic special.

Accepting his awards, Julian said, “When we were in the hotel a bit earlier, my wife said to me, ‘I think we should just relax and enjoy the evening, because I don’t think we’re going to win.’ Well, we’re going to enjoy the evening now!

“And at the risk of sounding grandiloquent, I would like to thank you, the American industry.

“Ten years ago you kick-started my second career with an Oscar, tonight you have nurtured it, I am very grateful, thank you.”

Mad Men, an advertising drama set in the 1950s, was named Best Drama Series, while Kate Winslet and Guy Pearce both won for their roles in Mildred Pierce.

Kate – who was named Best Actress in a Miniseries or Movie – said of her prize: “It doesn’t matter how old you are or what you do in your life, you never stop needing your mum and I will never stop needing mine, so thanks mum, thank you so much.”

Other winners included Julianna Margulies, who was named Best Actress in a Drama Series for her role in ‘The Good Wife’, while ‘Friday Night Lights’ star Kyle Chandler won Best Actor in a Drama Series at the ceremony which was hosted by ‘Glee’ star Jane Lynch.
