To kiss or not to kiss?

We've been wondering when we'd finally get to see Modern Family's Cameron and Mitchell pucker up on the hit ABC comedy?

Here's what Emmy nominees Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Eric Stonestreet just told us...

"Don't expect a Gone With the Wind type of thing happening, I know the fans would like that," Ferguson said at last night's Audi and Chopard's Emmy week kickoff party at Cecconi's in West Hollywood. "We're doing an episode about Mitchell's fear of PDA, so it's not the kiss episode per se, but yeah. It's going to be a really poignant, beautiful thing but less of an ordeal than people think it is."

Stonestreet added that we'll most likely see the highly anticipated liplock on the second season's fourth episode, saying, "It's a sweet moment for our show, not just a sweet moment for Mitch and Cam."

As for where Ferguson will put his Emmy if he wins Best Supporting Actor at Sunday's big awards show, he joked, "I just bought a new house and there's no space for anything so I think it would have to go in a box for a while, or a door stop. I think that would be awesome. In the freezer maybe."
