The results are in and as usual there are some surprises (Orange is the New Black shut out), some not (Modern Family ... again), and some well-deserved triumphs (Breaking Bad and its cast).
While I would have been happy to see Matthew McConaughey make history (be the first lead male actor to win an Oscar and an Emmy in the same calendar year), I can't deny being completely thrilled for Bryan Cranston's win for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series for his stellar role as Walter White on Breaking Bad, which ended its five-season run this year (it also took Best Drama Series, Anna Gunn for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series and Aaron Paul for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series).
Personal shout-outs to American Horror Story: Coven winners Jessica Lange and Kathy Bates as well as to Benedict Cumberbatch, Martin Freeman and Steven Moffat for Sherlock. Boo for no wins for the amazing Orange is the New Black and Game of Thrones.
And next year, Emmys, please recognize amazing shows like Suits and The Walking Dead in all categories!
