"The Mentalist" star (and first-time Emmy nominee) Simon Baker smiles as he arrives at the 61st Annual Primetime Emmy Awards at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles, Sunday, September 20, 2008.

Actor Neil Patrick Harris, left, and his partner, David Burtka, smile as they arrive at the 61st Primetime Emmy Awards on Sunday, Sept. 20, 2009, in Los Angeles. Harris served double duty at the Emmys - he was nominated for his work on "How I Met Your Mother" and he also hosted the awards ceremony.

Actress Sandra Oh arrives at the 61st Primetime Emmy Awards on Sunday, Sept. 20, 2009, in Los Angeles. The actress certainly had something to smile about - she was nominated for her work on "Grey's Anatomy."

Emmy nominee Amy Poehler, left, and her husband, Will Arnett, arrive at the 61st Primetime Emmy Awards on Sunday, Sept. 20, 2009, in Los Angeles. Maybe she was grinning at something her husband said - Arnett is a comedian, just like Poehler.

Steve Carell, right, and his wife, Nancy, arrive at the 61st Primetime Emmy Awards on Sunday, Sept. 20, 2009, in Los Angeles. "The Office" star didn't flash any teeth when he smiled - perhaps he predicted he'd lose the Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series award to fellow actor Jon Cryer.

"Dexter" co-stars (and real-life couple) Jennifer Carpenter, left, and Michael C. Hall arrive at the 61st Primetime Emmy Awards on Sunday, Sept. 20, 2009, in Los Angeles.

Elisabeth Moss and fiance Fred Armisen are seen at the Governors Ball on Sunday, Sept. 20, 2009, in Los Angeles. Moss didn't win the Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series, but she still had something to smile about - "Mad Men," won the Emmy for Outstanding Drama Series.

"Mad Men" star (and Emmy nominee) Jon Hamm smiles at the 61st Primetime Emmy Governors Ball on Sunday, Sept. 20, 2009, in Los Angeles.

Michael Emerson certainly had something to smile about at the Governors Ball on Sunday, Sept. 20, 2009, in Los Angeles - the Emmy award he just received for his work on "Lost."
