I’m so honored to be nominated amongst such a talented group—it never gets old, even though I do. Seriously, I’m getting really old.

I am honored and humbly surprised that this good fortune continues. I’ve never had something so wonderful happen four years in a row before, other than winning the New York state lottery from 1993 to ’97. I share this with the entire cast and crew of Modern Family. I’m sure it’s not surprising to anyone who’s ever worked on a television show, but our writers are the reason we’re still in this position. I’m eternally grateful for their talent and surprising good looks.

This is the third year in a row that I was woken up to that particular good news. The past two years I changed my daughter’s diaper immediately—that was the first thing I did—and this morning the first thing that she did was stick her foot in my mouth. I don’t know what that means, but it can’t be good. It’s basically telling me not to talk, I think.

I would like to propose that these awards be settled by feats of strength. I would still lose to everyone, including both Chris Colfer and Jon Cryer, but it would be worth it to see us all in singlets.

In classic Phil Dunphy fashion, I was fast asleep when the nominations were announced and am deeply saddened to have missed Sofia’s pronunciation of Mariska Hargitay. All kidding aside, I’m so proud of the fact that Modern Family was recognized in so so many categories—the Television Academy so graciously shared the love with our entire modern family.
