‘Modern Family’ Cast Will All Compete For Supporting Emmys After Ed O’Neill Gesture
When Modern Family star Ed O’Neill submits himself this week for Emmy Awards consideration, he will do it in the Supporting Actor category, despite being the biggest name star on the hit ABC sitcom. Insiders said that O’Neill’s move will be emulated by all of the principal cast members. While this might cost the show some trophies, sources said O’Neill is making the surprising move because he felt that nobody is bigger than anybody else in a show that is evolving into a true ensemble hit.

Ed as a lead Actor contender
Sofia Vergara and Julie Bowen as Lead Actresses
And the rest of the cast (including the phenomenal children in the show) in the Supporting categories….
