"Kathy Bates, who did a guest role as the cigar-smoking ghost of the former lead character of the hit CBS sitcom ‘Two and a Half Men,’ won TV’s most coveted statuette at Saturday’s Creative Arts Primetime Emmy Awards at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles," the Los Angeles Times’ Show Tracker reports.

After 11 Emmy nominations over the years, it was the first Emmy win for Bates, who recently revealed she had a double mastectomy as part of her breast cancer treatment.

According to the article, after winning the award Bates tweeted, "My thanks & respect to the inimitable Charlie Sheen without whom this recognition simply would not have been possible." Bates is also up for an acting award at Sunday’s Primetime Emmys ceremony for her starring role on the now canceled "Harry’s Law." 

As far as individual shows are concerned, HBO’s "Game of Thrones" won six Creative Arts Emmys, setting up a rivalry with several other cable dramas that will play out during the 64th Primetime Emmy Awards this coming Sunday, Sept. 23, 2012, reports The New York Times.
