Westerns rope Emmys

Congratulations to Broken Trail, the American Movie Classics production that lassoed a passel of prizes, including the award for Best Miniseries, during the Emmy extravaganza Sunday evening. Robert Duvall was honored as Best Actor in a miniseries, and Thomas Haden Church received the Best Supporting Actor prize. But wait, there's more: Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee -- the HBO adaptation of the Dee Brown best-seller -- was honored as Best Made-for-Television Movie. All in all, a great night for Westerns at the Emmy corral.
