Emmy Awards did live up to its reputation as the least predictable of the show.
gala television awards, in which the AMC drama series “Breaking Bad” and the ABC comedy “Modern Family” were crowned as the best in the industry on Sunday, had their good and bad surprises and ended with several winning streaks, while others expanded. The rookie Netflix was felt his presence, but not the way I expected spectacular.
triumph of “Breaking Bad” was a first for the series, and Anna Gunn won best supporting actress for playing the wife of Bryan Cranston’s character, Walter White, chemistry teacher turned drug trafficker who stars the series. Instead Cranston, competing for the fourth time, it took the prize for best drama actor.
was a great advertisement for “Breaking Bad” which will broadcast the final episode of the season on Sunday. “What a way to say goodbye!” Cranston said backstage.
“I’m biased, I love our program,” said Vince Gilligan, the creator of the series. “I was fearless with our prize. Was a big surprise for me.”
Road to the Emmys, there was much speculation as to whether “House of Cards” from Netflix would be the first series that airs on cable television or win a prize for drama. He failed, but Gilligan said that if not for the internet streaming services from companies like Netflix, your program could not have lasted beyond the second season.
“House of Cards” was the first online program nominated for a series prize, a revolution similar to when “The Larry Sanders Show” on HBO was the first cable program nominated. But it took a decade for another cable show, “Sex and the City” you will win a prize. Instead David Fincher, of “House of Cards” won the award for best director.
victory of “Modern Family” does not qualify as a surprise, as it has been declared best comedy the four years that has states in the air. But none of the actors, including the stunning Sofia Vergara took home a trophy.
Jeff DanielsHBO drama “Newsroom” was probably the least expected winner. Daniels was named best drama actor in a category with heavyweights like Cranston, Jon Hamm of “Mad Men”, Kevin Spacey in “House of Cards” and Damian Lewis of “Homeland”.
“I think my job is to live up to what they are doing these other gentlemen,” said Daniels. “But we were all doing different things.”
Tony Hale of “Veep” was another unexpected winner in the category of supporting actor in a comedy, beating three members of the cast of “Modern Family”.
“Was I right? Because I was totally blank,” he said later about his acceptance speech.
Upon receiving his second consecutive award for Best Actress in a Drama Series for “Homeland,” Showtime, Claire Danes paid tribute to one of the writers of the show who died last March and received a posthumous Emmy Sunday.
winning streak ended when “The Colbert Report” beat his rival comic “The Daily Show” in the variety series category. “Daily Show” Jon Stewart had won the award 10 consecutive years.
“We won so stupid impulse that is real news,” Colbert said after racks. Colbert, who once worked on “The Daily Show,” Stewart praised adding that it was also part of the Emmy this year as executive producer of “The Colbert Report”.
“Saturday Night Live” whose director Don Loy King won an Emmy on Sunday, also topped “Frasier” with the highest number of Emmy awards in history. “SNL” has gained 40 in his career.
