66th Primetime Emmy Award Show Review

Breaking Bad....Breaking Bad...Breaking Bad.

I am a HUGE fan of this show. For the same reasons that everyone is a huge fan.

This show had it's season finale in September 2013 but still cleaned house at the 66th Emmy awards last night. The show took home 6 awards total, including Best Drama Series. Bryan Cranston took home his final award for the show with "Best Male lead in a Drama series," and Aaron Paul and Anna Gunn both took home best supporting roles as well. This is the last year that Breaking Bad can qualify for the Emmy Awards *sigh*, and Bryan Cranston did not disappoint in his acceptance/farewell speech, "I have gratitude for everything that has happened," he said, dedicating his Emmy to "all the Sneaky Petes of the world...Take a chance, take a risk. It's really worth it." You can check out the rest of his speech HERE.

I first found out about Breaking Bad when I graduated college this last May. I decided to watch to first pilot episode on Netflix when my brother suggested it. It was 11 p.m. on a Tuesday night. I had the ENTIRE series finished (all 63 episodes) by Friday. Yes...I was HOOKED. But I had some time off before I started work..so don't judge me! Best. TV Show. EVER.

Some more highlights included "The Good Wife" star Julianna Margulies winning for best lead actress in a drama series. "What a wonderful time for women on television," Margulies says.

Seth Meyes kicked off the award show with a monologue talking about his TV network, NBC, and other broadcasters for being eclipsed in the awards by cable series and online newcomers like "Orange is the New Black."

Jim Parsons received best comedy series actor for his role in "The Big Bang Theory", giving his his fourth Emmy. Matthew McConaughey was talked about throughout the night since he just received an Oscar earlier this year. Jimmy Kimmel poked fun at this when he presented an award.

Although the Emmys are about celebrating the best of TV, they also included "in memoriam" tributes to industry members who died in the past year; but the biggest highlight of the night went to Billy Crystals tribute to the late Robin Williams. "He made us laugh. Hard. Every time you saw him," Crystal said. "Robin Williams, what a concept." You can check out his tribute here.
