The 62nd Annual Primetime Emmy Awards was seen by 13.5 million viewers and delivered a 4.1 adults 18-49 rating Sunday evening.

That's down a tenth of a point in the key adult demo from 2009, though higher than the event's all-time ratings low of 2008.

NBC says the ceremony is the "top-scoring Emmy Awards in total viewers in four years" when using non-rounded numbers (13.503 million vs. 13.471). The numbers include two West Coast airings: the live telecast and 8 p.m. repeat.
