The Liberace biopic Behind the Candelabra has taken the top honours at this year's Emmy awards, held in Los Angeles on Sunday.

上周日在洛杉矶举办的本年度艾美奖颁奖典礼上，列勃拉斯传记电影《烛台背后》摘得桂冠。
 
The film, shown on the cable network HBO in the US, won three awards including best TV movie and a best actor award for Michael Douglas.
 
Breaking Bad was named best drama, while Modern Family took the leading comedy award for the fourth time.
 
Claire Danes took the best actress prize for her role in Homeland.
 
Accepting his first ever Emmy award, Douglas thanked his family and his wife, Catherine Zeta Jones.
 
Surprise win
 
The couple, who have been married for 13 years, announced last month that they were "taking time apart".
 
Douglas also thanked his co-star, fellow nominee1 Matt Damon.
 
"You're magnificent," he said, adding: "The only reason I'm standing2 here is because of you."
 
It was the second consecutive3 Primetime Emmy award win for Danes in the leading actress category for her portrayal4 of troubled CIA officer Carrie Mathison in Homeland.
 
She paid tribute to Henry Brommell, one of the writers of the critically acclaimed5 series, who died in March and received a writing award posthumously6 during the ceremony.
 
Her co-star, British actor Damian Lewis lost out in the lead actor category to Jeff Daniels, who was the surprise winner for his role in The Newsroom.
 
It was the first ever Emmy nomination7 and win for Daniels, who plays self-righteous news anchor Will McAvoy.
 
Daniels beat stiff competition from Kevin Spacey, nominated for House of Cards, Mad Men's Jon Hamm and Breaking Bad actor Bryan Cranston, who was widely tipped to take the coveted8 accolade9.
