Looks like Ausiello (l.) and Roush (r.) cleaned up with near perfect scores in the top six categories of the night. Interestingly enough, Roush currently works for TV Guide, which was Ausiello's old stomping grounds before he moved over to Entertainment Weekly.

Meanwhile, don't take too much pity on the gang over at Television Without Pity. Although they came up with a goose egg on predictions, they're still likely celebrating as 5 out of 6 of their "who should win" choices took home the prize last night.
