"Jon Cryer has said that he was shocked by his Emmy Award win for Two and a Half Men on Sunday (September 23). The actor won the &amp;#039;Outstanding Lead Actor&amp;#039; prize for the very first time at this year&amp;#039;s Emmys, triumphing over Alec Baldwin, Louis CK, Don Cheadle, Larry David and Jim Parsons.  In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Cryer admitted that he would never been up for the category if Charlie Sheen were still on Two and a Half Men. &amp;quot;When Charlie and I were going on the show together, the show really rested on Charlie,&amp;quot; Cryer explained. &amp;quot;The show was really structured around his character, so it was silly for me to be in the lead character [category].  &amp;quot;That&amp;#039;s changed. It&amp;#039;s more of a partnership [with new star Ashton Kutcher].&amp;quot; Cryer also disclosed that he initially had his doubts whether Two and a Half Men could survive without Sheen. &amp;quot;[I thought] &amp;#039;Can this thing continue?&amp;#039;&amp;quot; he recalled. &amp;quot;That it has is amazing to begin with. And that this [Emmy win] has happened is ridiculous.&amp;quot; Two and a Half Men premieres its new season on Thursday, September 27 at 8.30/7.30c on CBS. &amp;gt; Miley Cyrus in bed with Ashton Kutcher in Two and a Half Men - pictures &amp;gt; Jon Cryer on Emmys win: &amp;#039;My speech sucked because I was shocked&amp;#039; Watch a teaser for the new season below:  Primetime Emmy Awards: The Winners: "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
