TV Talk: 'Deadliest Catch,' 'Boardwalk Empire,' Gwyneth Paltrow ...

The Creative Arts Primetime Emmys -- the warm-up act, as it were, for the primetime Emmys, which are coming up Sunday -- were awarded over the weekend in Los Angeles. This year's winners included, as CNN.com reports, HBO's period drama,"Boardwalk Empire," which took seven awards, in such categories as outstanding casting; Gwyneth Paltrow, who earned an outstanding guess actress in a comedy series Emmy for playing substitute teacher Holly Holliday on "Glee"; and Loretta Devine, who won as guest actress in a drama series for her role as Chief Webber's wife, Adele, on "Grey's Anatomy."

"Deadliest Catch," the reality series about crab fishermen who sail Alaska's Bering Sea, won four awards, including outstanding reality programming.

The winning episode was "Redemption Day," which, as a Discovery press release says, "dealt with the death of larger-than-life Captain Phil Harris." Harris suffered a stroke on Jan. 29, 2010, and the series "documented his battle through surgery and treatment, and ultimately his passing ten days later" on February 9.

(This past season dealt with some of the fallout from Captain Phil's death, including friction between Harris' sons, and Seaside native Derrick Ray.)

Here's a clip from the winning episode:


Other winners included Justin Timberlake, who was honored twice, once for guest-hosting "Saturday Night Live," and for co-writing lyrics to the song he sang in his monologue. As Time reports, Timberlake wasn't present to accept his award:? "'Justin Timberlake really wanted to be here but we said 'no, they want to see the writers,'" SNL head writer Seth Myers told the audience."
