LOS ANGELES — The Betty White phenomenon keeps getting bigger.
White won an Emmy Award for best guest actress in a comedy series for her turn as host on “Saturday Night Live.” The honor came Saturday at the creative arts ceremony that is precursor to the main Aug. 29 Emmy show.
The trophy is the fifth prime-time Emmy received by the 88-year-old White, according to the TV academy. Her previous honors came for classic sitcoms, including “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” and “The Golden Girls.”
The HBO miniseries “The Pacific” won seven awards.
Neil Patrick Harris won the trophy for best guest actor in a comedy series for his appearance on “Glee,” while the guest-acting trophies for drama series went to John Lithgow for “Dexter” and Ann-Margret for “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.” The Associated Press
