Murphy's personal idol, The Jeffersons writer Norman Lear, introduced the evening's question and answer event during the ceremony, which was attended by several Glee stars, including Lea Michele and Cory Monteith.
In a post on her Twitter.com page, Michele writes, "A beautiful night honouring the amazing (Ryan Murphy). So happy for him. What a joy to be in such an amazing room with such incredible people."
