Jeremy Piven's Emmy

Category: Entourage

The Primetime Emmys are now behind us, and Jeremy Piven has snagged the golden statue once again for his portrayal of Ari Gold on Entourage. Competition in the “Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series” category was tough; fellow nominees included Entourage castmate Kevin Dillon and the very talented Rainn Wilson of The Office.

In a Variety.com article, Piven had the following to share about his win:

"I'm just a kind of softie character actor from Chicago so I will bore you to tears. The dream for me was getting up on stage in Chicago and being a working actor, not being celebrated like this so I'm having an otherworldly experience."
As much as I adore Kevin Dillon’s Johnny Chase, I was hoping Piven would take the prize once again. It was disappointing that they lost the “Outstanding Comedy Series” trophy to 30 Rock, but I was thrilled that they took home the statue for “Outstanding Sound Mixing For A Comedy Or Drama Series (half-hour) And Animation”. In total, Entourage was nominated in 7 categories. Do you think they were robbed of any particular awards?
