Great effort for Modern Family to finally breakthrough this award season besting its flashier half Glee for a major award.

As for the movies, the little film that could has all but sewn up the awards season as The Hurt Locker has now won the PGA, DGA, WGA, ACE, and the Critics Choice Awards. I guess it's worthwhile to note that it did lose to Inglourious Basterds at the SAG and to Avatar at the Golden Globes, but it's prominently the front-runner as it also co-leads the nomination tally at the Academy Awards and as Award Daily's Sasha Stone points out, a film to win DGA, WGA, and ACE has gone on to win Best Picture at the Oscars 100% of the time.
