CHICAGO — The 2009 Emmys looked a lot like the 2008 Emmys, when it came to the winners.
Once again, Tina Fey picked up a best comedy statue for "30 Rock" (it was the NBC show's third win). "Mad Men" won for a second time as best drama.
Glenn Close and Bryan Cranston picked up their second Emmys in the lead drama acting categories, for "Damages" and "Breaking Bad," respectively, and Alec Baldwin also won a second time for his performance as network executive Jack Donaghy on "30 Rock." The only new winner in the top acting categories was Toni Collette, who won for her role on "United States of Tara." All those winners were quite deserving, but there was a certain deja vu quality to the proceedings, as there often is at the Emmys, where certain shows and performers tend to dominate for years.

From wikipedia:
Ernesto Teodoro Moneta (Milan September 20, 1833 – February 10, 1918) was an Italian journalist and international activist on behalf of peace (except where Italian interests required war). He won (with Louis Renault) the Nobel Peace Prize in 1907.
Moneta had a personality as paradoxical as the term "militant pacifist" which was often applied to him. He was a nationalistic internationalist, a religious anti-clerical propagandist, and a crusader for physical fitness who daily took a tram to avoid walking across a square to lunch in a restaurant opposite his office.
