was a huge night for Breaking Bad at the 66th Primetime Emmy Awards Monday. The final season of Vince Gilligan's acclaimed series was nearly unstoppable in the drama categories, winning for best series, plus wins for Bryan Cranston, Aaron Paul and Anna Gunn - and for Moira Walley-Beckett for her script to the phenomenal "Ozymandias."
HBO may be regretting submitting True Detective in the drama series categories, rather than as a miniseries. WhileCary Joji Fukunaga won for directing for his work on the show, there were a lot of people who expected Matthew McConaughey to continue his huge winning streak at both film and TV awards shows the past year, but he lost to Cranston.
Fargo meanwhile took home the best miniseries honors, though Sherlock's Benedict Cumberbatch beat out the stars of Fargo for best actor in a miniseries or TV movie. Steven Moffat and Martin Freeman also picked up Emmys for Sherlock.
On the comedy front, Modern Family continued to dominate in several categories, though it was Louie that won for best writing, while Julia Louis-Dreyfus won for best actress and Jim Parsons for The Big Bang Theory.
