Patricia Arquette

Frances Conroy never won an Emmy for Six Feet Under. Jennifer Garner never won an Emmy for Alias. And although Glenn Close won two Emmys for Damages, she didn't win for effectively going head-to-head with Michael Chiklis for a tense season on The Shield. How exactly did Arquette manage to win, then, for Medium, a network midseason drama with a genre twist? In our age of cable domination of the Emmy drama categories, this stands as one of the odder upsets.
