Justin Timberlake became a surprise winner in Los Angeles over the past weekend during this year's Creative Arts Primetime Emmys ceremony.

Timberlake took home (not literally) an Emmy award for best original music and lyrics for his collaboration with Andy Samberg on the Saturday Night Live: a sexually explicit spoof music video about parts of a male’s body wrapped up and presented as gifts, "D--- in a box." Although Timberlake couldn’t make it to the ceremony, Samberg congratulated his collaborator.

"Justin, if you're out there, congrats to you kid," Samberg told the audience at the Creative Arts Emmys ceremony.

"I think it's safe to say that when we first set out to make this song, we were all thinking 'Emmy!'" Samberg said in his acceptance speech.

Timberlake and Samberg joined forces last year in December to make the song, which is a mockery of the early 90s r'n'b acts like Color Me Badd. It garnered millions of views on YouTube and NBC's Web site, which posted an un-bleeped version.

"The other thing we were thinking was, 'Hey! There's this young up-and-comer, Justin Timberlake, who is clearly very talented and could really use a break," Samberg added.

Their video won over two songs from a musical edition of "Scrubs."

"I feel like a million 'doll hairs. It's fantastic. Very trippy, very cool and surreal and you know, it's cool," People magazine quoted Sandberg, as saying.

The other winners include Kathy Griffin for her reality series "Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List," whose Emmy was the first so far, Spike Lee's New Orleans documentary, "When the Levees Broke: A Requiem in Four Acts," which received three awards, including for directing and HBO’s "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee," with the most awards, five.

"A lot of people come here and thank Jesus for this. He had nothing to do with this," Griffin said.

"I have an A-list pass for the day. Tomorrow I'll be back on the D-list when someone says, 'Congratulations, Miss Gifford,' which they will at the mall. Believe me," she added.
