West Wing re-elected top drama at Emmys

THERE were no term limits for NBC’s 'The West Wing', which won its fourth Emmy for best drama on Sunday night despite shrinking viewership.

James Gandolfini, who plays the hulking mobster on HBO’s 'The Sopranos', and Edie Falco, who portrays his long-suffering wife, swept the top dramatic acting awards.

The ceremony was both celebratory and bittersweet, with homage paid to a number of performers and industry figures who died this year, including Bob Hope, John Ritter, Gregory Hines and Fred Rogers.
