Though TV's top comedies 'Modern Family' and 'Glee' constantly go head-to-head at award ceremonies, cast members at the SAG Awards insisted there's no bad blood between the two shows.
Reports surfaced in December that 'Modern Family' patriarch Ed O'Neill criticized 'Glee' coach Jane Lynch's Emmy win for best supporting actress over his co-star Sofia Vergara.
However, O'Neill's on-screen granddaughter Sarah Hyland debunked reports that he slammed Lynch's win, according to E! News.
"Oh my God," Hyland said. "That was totally blown out of proportion! They took words out of his mouth. I promise he didn't say it that way."
O'Neill reportedly told TV Guide Canada, "I love Jane, honestly I do ... but I don't think she should have gotten the Emmy for that part. [Sue Sylvester] is just a one-note character."
"Ed was just, like I wish Sofia won because she's funny, too," Hyland continued, defending her co-star. "Who doesn't wish that someone from your cast wins over someone else? Who doesn't wish that? But everyone deserves the award they are getting."
Hyland's on-screen sister, Ariel Winter, only had the nicest things to say about the hit musical show.
"We'd love to win, but you know I have so many friends on 'Glee,'" Winter said. "They're so amazing, they have a great show. If they win I will be equally happy."
But it was 'Modern Family' who was celebrating at the SAG Awards, as the show took home the award for best comedy.
