36th Annual Sports Emmy Award Winners

The 36th Annual Sports Emmy Awards were handed out in New York on Tuesday, May 5. NBC’s coverage of the Sochi Winter Olympic Games was a big winner, but in several technical categories. We can’t say the usual suspects won because Bob Costas did not pick up the Outstanding Studio Host Award. Ernie Johnson won the Outstanding Studio Host. One of more baffling choices was Harold Reynolds in the Outstanding Studio Analyst category.

So without further delay, here are the winners of the 36th Annual Sports Emmy Awards:
