The cast of "Brokeback Mountain" and Felicity Huffman went into the evening with the most nominations, however it was Huffman's night to shine while the stars of the indie darling "Brokeback Mountain" had to leave empty-handed. Felicity Huffman went 2 for 3 for the night, losing out to "Walk the Line's" Reese Witherspoon as the best lead actress in a feature film but taking home the Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Comedy Series trophy and one as part of the ensemble cast of "Desperate Housewives."
