For the second year in a row, James Spader has taken home the Emmy as Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series for his role as attorney Alan Shore in "Boston Legal." William Shatner also won again this year for Supporting Actor as Denny Crane in "Boston Legal."
Despite receiving three nominations in the Creative Emmy Awards, as reported here, both Stargate SG-1 and Stargate: Atlantis left the awards empty-handed as the Sci Fi Channel's shows were overlooked.
Up for Outstanding Main Title Theme Music and Outstanding Special Visual Effects awards (the latter for the premiere two-parter 'Rising', also competing against the SG-1 episode 'Reckoning Part 2'), Stargate: Atlantis lost out to Desperate Housewives and Lost respectively as HBO picked up 20 awards and ABC picked up 10.

Meanwhile, her Trek colleague Robert Picardo picks up his Stargate recurring role as Woolsey in the first of tonight's double Stargate SG-1 episodes, 'Prototype', as season 9 of the show reaches its hiatus.
