30 Rock, Mad Men Repeat, While Jon Cryer and Toni Collette Surprise at Emmys

Alec Baldwin

"Congratulations guys, unbelievable" host Neil Patrick Harris said of seven-time Emmy champ Amazing Race at Sunday's 61st Primetime Emmy Awards. "Upsets at every turn."

Grey Gardens

Grey Gardens
8 pm/ET HBO
Depending on your point of view, Albert and David Maysles' 1975 documentary, Grey Gardens — a portrait of two eccentric relatives of Jackie Kennedy-Onassis — is either a classic example of cinema verité or the worst kind of exploitation. But this 2009 film, which dramatizes the previous decades in the lives of "Big Edie" Beale (Jessica Lange) and her daughter, "Little Edie," (Drew Barrymore), should generate no such controversy, as the two leads are terrific in fleshing out these one-of-a-kind personalities.

Premise: Drew Barrymore and Jessica Lange headline this fact-based drama centered on two eccentric relatives of Jackie Kennedy-Onassis who served as the subject of David and Albert Maysles' similarly titled 1975 documentary. The film tells the story of Big Edie and Little Edie, the aunt and cousin of Kennedy-Onassis respectively. The reclusive socialites made headlines when the health department threatened to raid their flea-and-raccoon-infested East Hampton, N.Y., mansion in the early 1970s.
