Best Random Gimmick
Hugh Laurie
Accepting the award for Best Actor in a Drama for his grouchy doctor role on Fox's House, Hugh Laurie noted that he had 172 names of people to thank. Since he knew, however, that no one watching had the patience for that, he drew three names at random out of his pocket; ''and everyone else can just lump it.'' The lucky name-drop recipients: Laurie's script supervisor, his hairstylist, and his agent. ''That's not my handwriting,'' Laurie said of the last slip of paper.
