How I Met Your Mother

Finally How I Met Your Mother will receive (or potentially receive) best Comedy series!! Surprising that Big Bang Theory didn't make this list... 

The official Best Comedy category goes as follows:

Entourage
Family Guy
Flight Of The Conchords
How I Met Your Mother
The Office
30 Rock
Weeds

Also, it seems that Jeremy Piven (three time winner) is no longer on the best supporting actor list. God willing, NPH will finally win his much deserved award!
