CBS News Tops the Network News Divisions at 38th News & Documentary EMMYS

CBS News won more Emmys than its broadcast network news rivals and more than any cable outlet last night, taking home nine statuettes. 60 MINUTES led all single program winners with seven Emmys - tying its own record - while the CBS EVENING NEWS and CBS THIS MORNING shared two Emmys for joint reporting efforts.

The National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences also honored two CBS News institutions. In a rousing tribute, 60 MINUTES was recognized for its unprecedented 50th season in primetime. Charles Osgood, former anchor of CBS SUNDAY MORNING and "The Osgood File," radio news legend for decades, was given a Lifetime Achievement Award to a standing ovation.

The 38th Annual News and Documentary Emmy Awards were held at Jazz at Lincoln Center's Frederick P. Rose Hall in New York City.
