  • Top 10 Moments (so far) of the 59th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards

1. Opening music number by Stewie and Brian Griffin of Fox's "Family Guy."

2. Possible baby bump of Christina Aguilera. May be the pregnancy rumors aren't rumors after all?

3. Honoring of the 30-year anniversary of "Roots" by Queen Latifah.   

4. Hayden Panettiere. ... That's it. Just seeing the cheerleader from "Heroes" all glammed up makes the list.  

5. "The Sopranos" clan reunited -- hopefully not for the last time -- on stage. 

6. Former Vice President Al Gore makes a convenient appearance for a possible presidential run.

7. Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert giving the best actor in a Comedy series award to their former "Daily Show" cast mate Steve Carrell, when the award's actual winner Ricky Gervais was a no show. 

8. In Memoriam: Honoring the fallen (of the small screen, that is). What? We're at war too?  

9. Tina Fey, of the Best Comedy "30 Rock" thanks her show's "dozens and dozens" of fans. Classic.

10. "The Sopranos" wins best drama. This is reportedly the first time a drama won that honor for its final season. Much deserved indeed.
