    Kinda sad Giancarlo Esposito didn't win, he played one of the best villains i have ever seen on screen but Aaron paul still deserved it, up against homeland, still thought cranston should have one, his performance in crawl space of season 4 of BB is truly disturbing. Congrats to Homeland though, another great, hugely intelligent series!

    @XxNickTheFilmCriticXx Who, Breaking Bad? If its BB, i agree with ya im happy that it got an Emmy for something but Espisito had the best badass moments in Seaosn 4, just a truly memoreable performance

    Major props to Homeland for dominating with only one season. Surprised to see MCH lose for once, but at least it's to another fantastic actor. Showtime for life.

  22. Nicholaus XX

    @SherlockHolmes2009 -- Yeah, I was kind of going back and forth. I just knew as long as one of them win, I was happy.

    @justatadmatt I f*cking agree, Jim Parsons got screwed over. @Agent-Cooper I also agree with you, I like Aaron Paul, hes a fantastic actor and hes phenominal as Jesse but I felt Giancarlo Espisito stole Season 4 as Gus Fring, he should have gotten Best Supporting Actor. I was also hoping Bennedict C*mberbatch, Martin Freeman, and Sherlock:Scandal in Belgrave won their awards too

    Vergara's dressed ripped in back (if you know what I mean). Posted on her twitter.

  26. Nicholaus XX

    Well, Peter Dinklage isn't an outstanding actor like Aaron Paul, so they made the right choice, there.

    @justatadmatt -- Agreed.

    @Agent-Cooper -- I strongly agree.

    8 months agoby @XxNickTheFilmCriticXxFlag

  27. Agent-Cooper

    Breaking Bad should have won for Best Drama and especially Best Lead Actor... Oh well, at least it did not get snubbed completely like The Wire did in its time.

    8 months agoby @Agent-CooperFlag

  28. Luis Mota

    2 and half man winning best lead in a comedy. What a joke! The only win I agree with here is Aaron Paul for supporting actor, the Downton Abbey win and The Daily Show.

    8 months agoby @Luis-MotaFlag

  29. justatadmatt

    I don't understand how Jon Cryer won best lead...his character is just not funny.
