Jon Cryer of Two and A Half Men has cemented his role as a leading man, following the departure of Charlie Sheen in 2011, to the surprise of no one but himself. Initially Mr. Cryer expressed reservations at being moved from the best supporting actors category, to the prime position of best lead. While still on the red carpet, he recounted the actors he was up against,Alec Baldwin, Larry David, Don Cheadle, and Jim Parsons, and said with his signature humor, "I'm not gonna win." However, the judges disagreed and Jon walked away with the win and a wide-eyed grin on his face. Backstage he expressed with a laugh, “I'm as stunned as you people”.
