Sofia Vergara Heats Up the Emmys Red Carpet

Modern Family star Sofia Vergara found herself in the eye of a controversial Emmy Awards storm after a satirical segment on diversity in television she starred in was accused of being sexist.

The actress, dressed in a form fitting white gown, was placed on a rotating pedestal as Television Arts and Sciences President Bruce Rosenblum used her body as evidence that TV throughout the years has given countless audiences "something to look at".Sofia Vergara Heats Up the Emmys Red Carpet 

"Our Academy is more diverse than ever before, both in front of and behind the camera," Rosenblum said, after Vergara accepted his invitation to make like a human kebab and get on the revolving platform.

"Resulting in a greater diversity of storytelling."

"What truly matters," he concluded, "is that we never forget that our success is based on always giving the viewers something compelling to look at."
