In a Broadway season bursting with shows borrowed from Hollywood, "Once" is in many ways the strangest and unlikeliest of all.

And yet the musical, adapted from the 2007 film by John Carney, is not only flourishing on the Great White Way, it's the leading nominee going into Sunday night's Tony Awards.

Although voters can choose up to two films in the alternative category, they opted for a single winner, "The Reality Clock"...

It used to be so simple.

The Primetime Emmy Awards honored television's marquee programs, the ones that everybody watched in the same place and at the same time: on network broadcasts that took place Monday through Saturday from 8 to 11 p.m. (7 to 10 Central), Sunday from 7 to 10.
