Three Emmy Awards for ‘Modern Family’

Penn Staters watched last night’s Emmy Awards with more interest than usual, since Ty Burrell ’97g was up for one of the awards.
Burrell, who plays the dorky dad Phil Dunphy on ABC-TV’s Modern Family, was nominated for Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series. But so were two other members of the Modern Family cast, and it was one of Burrell’s co-stars, Eric Stonestreet, who ended up winning the Emmy last night.
Modern Family took two other Emmy Awards last night: It won for Comedy Series (ending a three-year lock on that award by 30 Rock) and Writing for a Comedy Series. You can see the complete list of nominees and winners here. And check out the Daily Collegian story from this past Friday, in which they talk to a couple of Burrell’s former Penn State profs.
The photo shown above is the opening spread of our own story about Burrell, from our January-February 2010 issue. More about that here.
