As reported earlier, the 61st Primetime Emmy Awards — notably hosted by hilarious How I Met Your Mother standout Neil Patrick Harris — aired on Sunday, September 20, and I have a complete list of the comedy winners right here.

Follow the jump to read ‘em and weep … or jump for joy, depending on whether or not your favorites took home one of those dazzling little statues.
The lucky victors are highlighted in bold type at the top of each category. Congratulations to all and their fellow nominees. It’s not easy getting a nod from the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, you know, so praise is in order regardless of who ultimately wins.
