Emmy Awards 2010: Jim Parsons finally gets an Emmy

The Big Bang Theory” star Jim Parsons ended Alec Baldwin’s Emmy streak when he won the Outstanding Actor in a Comedy Series award at the 2010 Emmy Awards tonight.

Parsons, who plays the role of socially inept theoretical physicist Dr. Sheldon Cooper on the show, admitted that he was surprised when his name was called. He told USA Today, “I am shocked. It was one of those moments right before they announced the winner that my brain went ‘You are not getting this right now’ and then I was stunned. I am still stunned.”

He talked about what he thinks of how much the viewers like his character Sheldon. “I am guessing it is because he is a very different guy. He is in the minority of intelligence and behavior. He comes from such an honest good place that he gets away with saying such outlandish things.”

The fourth season of “The Big Bang Theory” will premiere on September 23, 2010 on CBS.
