I want to say Pretty Little Liars winning over Game of Thrones is a joke, Hot in Cleveland winning over It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is as deserved as Frank and Charlie's bed is clean, HIMYM winning over Modern Family is as funny as HIMYM (so it's not), 2 Broke Girls winning over Suburgatory is a travesty, Katy Perry winning over Michael J. Fox is a booby-filled enigma and Lea Michele winning over Tina Fey is grotesque, but I won't (plus I'd say something about The Good Wife and Fringe losing to Supernatural but I'm behind enemy lines here, that wouldn't be wise). It was good enough that they were nominated in the first place, I did not think they had a shot at winning in an award show like that.

There's a little hope in the movie categories though, where Bridesmaids, Rango, Emma Stone (The Help, Crazy Stupid Love) and Chloë Grace Moretz (Hugo) all won awards (Emma Stone even won two !).

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II was plebiscited with four wins (favorite movie, favorite action movie, favorite ensemble and favorite book adaptation). I think it would have been great if Harry could have shared some awards with The Help, X-Men First Class and Moneyball (I can't believe this one even got nominated), but it's deserved nonetheless.
