You've probably seen a few tweets this weekend about a couple Emmy categories being awarded- but fret not!

Overall, very pleased with a lot of these winners. I love that Orange Is the New Black won for casting and guest actress. While I would have preferred Natasha Lyonne to take it, I'm happy Uzo Aduba won. This gives me hope they'll continue this streak to the main show and finally oust Modern Family from it's (now undeserved) Outstanding Comedy Series throne.

The main show, hosted by Seth Meyers, will air Monday August 25th on NBC.
