Modern Family is now Emmy family. The comedy about an extended, multi-generational family was judged to be TV’s best comedy at the 62nd Primetime Emmy Awards Sunday at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles.

Modern Family also won Emmys for its writing and for supporting actor Eric Stonestreet. “All I wanted to be, when I was growing up, was a clown in the circus,” a visibly overwhelmed Stonestreet said. “A lot of people say, ‘Don’t pursue acting for a living; it’s too difficult.’ It is difficult. . . . But this is amazing.”

The list of winners is below. Our congratulations to the cast and creators of the show for these well-deserved awards.
