The 53rd Annual Primetime Emmy Awards were held Sunday, November 4, 2001. The awards show was hosted by Ellen DeGeneres and was broadcast on CBS. The ceremony was re-scheduled twice from its original date because of the September 11, 2001 attacks that occurred prior to the event.
Ellen DeGeneres Quote from Telecast: "I mean, I feel like I'm in a unique position as host, because think about it, what would bug the Taliban more than seeing a gay woman in a suit surrounded by Jews?"
The West Wing was named Best Drama Series and Sex and the City Best comedy Series. James Gandolfini and Edie Falco both took home awards for their performances as Tony and Carmela Soprano. Two supporting West Wing actors, Bradley Whitford and Allison Janney, won the supporting drama prizes. In the comedy categories, Everybody Loves Raymond cast members Patricia Heaton and Doris Roberts won Lead Actress and Supporting, respectively. TV's Will Truman, Eric McCormack won the Emmy for his portrayal of the openly gay man on Will and Grace .
