Emmy Awards 2014 - Discussion thread. Breaking Bad wins best Drama Series

[darkelf]

Aww, I wish The Big Bang Theory would have been the one to beat Modern Family.

 

I don't think I can even grasp that concept

 

Though they probably had a better season than Modern Family.

[Black Hawk]

Oh ... Matthew : (

[Michael Gary Scott]

Yes Cranston was better

[CJohn]

Cranston won over Matthew?!

 

[darkelf]

Well, if they didn't rush through the most important categories and even played Vince off, I would have said this was a great ceremony. Can't they learn from every single ceremony so far?

[darkelf]

Cranston won over Matthew?!

 

 

Don't be sad, here:

Ownage.

Bold move by True Detective though. If they had submitted as a miniseries, they would have swept all categories.

[Magic]

Glad Breaking Bad won again. It was the best show. Don't know what Emmy voters are smoking with the best comedy Emmy though.

[Fullbuster]

Have they lost their minds??? Breaking Bad??? I mean it's a great show, but it's not airing anymore, they could choose a show aired this year.

I'm glad that Cranston won over McConaughey, but honestly, if you picked any random 8 episodes of BB from Cranston and put them up against the 8 episodes of TD, McConaughey was better.

 

But still, Cranston deserved it. Weird, I know.

I don't understand.

 

I'm not salty at all that BB won, nor am I too upset Cranston won, but I think McConaughey deserved the award this year. History lost.

 

Only Nolan can save his career from the depths.

[Kevin Bacon]

Fucking Modem Family and Big Bang Theory. Louie needs every award.

[Magic]

True Detective shouldn't have been in the Best Drama category in the first place. Don't like the way some of these shows are being submitted into categories where they don't belong. Orange is the New Black was submitted as a comedy. They need to tighten up their rules on submissions.

[Empire]

Do the Emmy voters actually even watch the shows or do they just vote out of habit now? Veep, Silicon Valley and OITNB all had better seasons than Modern Family did.

Yeah, and so did a lot of shows that weren't nominated.

[Jack Nevada]

Nothing for Check it Out! with Steve Brule? Fuck these awards.

[ChD]

McConaughey snubbed? That's total bullshit
