Big congratulations go to William Shatner for his second Emmy win last night. For the second year in a row, Shatner took home a statue for playing the role of "Denny Crane." This time, however, it was in the category of Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series for Boston Legal.

Last year, Shatner won his first Emmy in the Guest Actor category for The Practice, which introduced the character of the notorious lawyer.

But it wasn't a clean sweep for Shatner at Sunday's Primetime Emmy Awards ceremony. He was also in competition for "Emmy Idol," where several television personalities performed classic television theme songs throughout the evening.

Shatner paired up with famed mezzo-soprano Frederica von Stade to perform the Alexander Courage theme of the original Star Trek. Shatner thrilled the audience as he recited the classic "Space: the Final Frontier" speech. Then von Stade took over the operatic melody originally sung by the late Loulie Jean Norman. (After he finished his opening, Shatner simply stood there and watched her sing with a big smile on his face.)

Viewers were allowed to vote on their favorite "Emmy Idol" act among the four presented, through the Internet or through text messaging. Shatner and von Stade got beat by Donald Trump (The Apprentice) and Megan Mullally (Will & Grace), who performed the theme song to Green Acres.

As the winners were announced by host Ellen DeGeneres, the camera turned to Shatner in the audience, and he seemed rather baffled by the result. How could he have lost this one?

As Shatner and von Stade were performing the Star Trek theme, clips from the original show played behind them. Those clips culminated in a two-shot of the late DeForest Kelley and the late James Doohan.

Doohan was also acknowledged during the "In Memoriam" presentation of television greats who have passed away in the last year. They used a clip from "The Cloud Minders" of Kirk and Spock contacting Mr. Scott to beam them up, then spliced that with a clip from "The Apple" of Scotty alerting the Transporter Room to beam up the landing party.

Also remembered in the tribute were John Fiedler ("Mr. Hengist"), Frank Gorshin ("Bele") and Brock Peters ("Joseph Sisko" and "Admiral Cartwright") — the latter with a clip from Deep Space Nine ("Paradise Lost").

Whoopi Goldberg was also part of the Emmy ceremony last night. She was paired with Hugh Jackman to present the two final and biggest awards of the evening, Outstanding Drama Series and Outstanding Comedy Series. For all the results, visit Emmys.org (or Emmys.tv).
