Showtime's psychological thriller 'Homeland' upstaged the more established dramas at the 64th Primetime Emmys Sunday night, winning four Emmys, including the top drama series honor.

ABC's 'Modern Family' captured four comedy awards, including the top sitcom prize, to continue its comedy series domination at the Emmys.

Jimmy Kimmel hosted the broadcast from the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles.

'Homeland's' Claire Danes won best lead drama actress, while Damian Lewis won best lead actor in a drama.

The show, which just started a second season, upset 'Mad Men', which had dominated the drama category in its four years, and 'Breaking Bad', which is in its final season.

'Mad Men' was going for what would have been a record fifth straight win in the best drama series category.
