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.

Screenwriter Explains ‘Modern Family’ Casting Rumors
Lisa Kudrow and Conan O’Brien’s right hand man Andy Richter were not necessarily on the wish list for the “Modern Family” cast during its pilot days, according to a TV writer/producer.
Earlier this week, “Weeds” writer Stephen Falk posted a one sheet on his Tumblr acount, showing a very different breakdown of the families that make up the hit ABC comedy, including a picture of the “Friends” star in the role of Claire Dunphy, former “Coach” star Craig T. Nelson in the role of Jay Pritchett, Richter as Mitchell and the now 35-year-old Sarah Gilbert, formerly of “Roseanne,” in the 13-year-old shoes of Dunphy daughter Alex.
On Wednesday, however, the writer explained the list wasn’t a breakdown of whom the show went after, or even necessarily wanted, for those parts.
“The ‘Modern Family’ document I posted yesterday was an attachment to the widely-distributed 2008 pilot script and was simply character shorthand (for executives to quickly ‘see’ what the writers were going for) and not a ‘wishlist,’” Falk wrote. “[‘Modern Family’ producers] Steve Levitan and Chris Lloyd did not, as far as I know, wish for Sara Gilbert to get in a time machine and become 13 again.”
“I only posted the one-sheet because I thought the document held informative value and insight into a common writer practice,” he continued. “(The character sheets for the pilot I’m currently writing have photos of Matthew McConaughey and Artie Lange pasted onto them; I do not intend to try to actually cast Matthew McConaughey and Artie Lange.)”
As for that “Modern Family” sheet that was attached to the pilot, there were two faces that, in fact, did make it on air – Sofia Vergara who plays Gloria, and Ty Burrell, who plays Phil Dunphy.
