Betty White and Neil Patrick Harris are already Emmy winners -- White for her Saturday Night Live hosting gig and Harris for his guest-starring role on Glee and work as the Tonys host.

The honors were revealed at Saturday's Creative Arts Emmy Awards, which Neil was present for but Betty was not. The award marked Betty's fifth Emmy; Neil's two trophies were his first.

Harris acknowledged Los Angeles Times forums moderator Chris "Boomer" Beachum in his acceptance. Boomer was responsible for bringing to light that fact that Neil was originally left out from the list of nominees for the Tony nod in the category of best special class. He is also up for a best supporting actor in a series, for How I Met Your Mother at the Primetime Emmys this Sunday.

Other winners included Jaime Oliver's Food Revolution (best reality series), Survivor host Jeff Probst (best reality-show host) and Ann-Margret, for her guest -starring role on Law and Order: SVU.

The firm Weiden + Kennedy also received an Emmy for its famous Old Spice commercial.
