Upsets at the Emmy's with 'Breaking Bad' Coming out on Top

Last night (Sept. 22^nd, 2013), the 65^th Primetime Emmy Awards took place. Many expected ‘Breaking Bad’ to take a majority of the awards they were nominated for, but, at first, that was not the case. For example, Bryan Cranston, who was nominated for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama, lost to "The Newsroom's" Jeff Daniels. Cranston’s Co-star Aaron Paul, who could have won Supporting Actor in a Drama, ended up losing to "Boardwalk Empire's" Bobby Cannavale. However, their losses were short-lived because when the big prize, Oustanding Drama,  was announced, ‘Breaking Bad’ came out on top. Creator, Vince Gilligan was pleasantly astounded at the honor and accepted the award.

This year’s Emmys were ones for the history books as the ‘usual crowd’ such as Jim Parsons (Lead Actor in a Comedy) and Modern Family (4^th straight Outstanding Comedy) took home wins. But it was shows like ‘Veep’, ‘The Big C’, and even “The Voice’ taking home awards over the ‘usual crowd’ that made Emmy history.

Since I’m not much of a ‘Breaking Bad’ fan, I didn’t find that aspect of the Emmys as interesting. But I love my television so the overall event was interesting to watch. I thoroughly enjoyed the sketch done by Neil Patrick Harris along with previous Emmy hosts in the very beginning of the evening. My family and I were all in stitches by the end of the sketch.
