"Modern Family co-creator Steve Levitan has admitted that he is unsure how the show will fare at the 2012 Emmys. The ABC comedy has received 14 nominations for this year&amp;#039;s awards, having won eight Emmys since 2010.  &amp;quot;I think we do worry that people won&amp;#039;t root for us as much as they did before we won,&amp;quot; Levitan told Deadline, adding: &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;re still very much invested in winning and whatever comes with that - winning and what it represents.&amp;quot; The exec producer explained that being nominated for a third year running is a &amp;quot;very strange and new experience&amp;quot;. &amp;quot;You don&amp;#039;t want people to think we don&amp;#039;t care and [that] we&amp;#039;re past that,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;But at the same time, you don&amp;#039;t want to seem presumptuous.  &amp;quot;This is a very strange and new experience for me - to be in this position where we have won two Emmys in a row and are going for a third. We have to be even better because there will be a lot of people looking to say, &amp;#039;Where else can I cast my vote?&amp;#039;&amp;quot; The stars of Modern Family recently sued producers 20th Century Fox Television following unsuccessful contract negotiations, but later struck a new salary deal. Each member of the show&amp;#039;s adult cast is now expected to be paid around $170,000 (\u00A3108,000) to $175,000 (\u00A3111,000) per episode. The 2012 Primetime Emmy Awards will air on September 23 on ABC. &amp;gt; Mad Men, American Horror Story lead Emmys 2012 nominations &amp;gt; Homeland, Sherlock: Tube Talk on the Emmy 2012 nominations "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
