`PICKET FENCES' AGAIN IS SURPRISE OF THE EMMYS

In one of the biggest upsets in Emmy history, CBS' "Picket Fences" repeated as best drama series Sunday night, beating the heavily favored "NYPD Blue" in the 46th annual prime-time awards.

The ABC police show had been nominated a record 26 times for its first season, but Emmy voters still preferred "Fences," which had been a surprise winner last year.
