Breaking Bad Wins Big At The 2014 Emmy Awards
Posted on Mon Aug 25th, 2014 6:48pm PDT By X17 Staff
Seth Meyers hosted the 2014 Emmy Awards at the Nokia Theatre L.A. Live on Monday, and Breaking Bad snagged some of the top prizes at the show, including Best Drama Series, Best Actor (Bryan Cranston), Best Writing, Best Supporting Actor (Aaron Paul) and Best Supporting Actress (Anna Gunn). We were pretty bummed when the series ended last year, but this more than makes up for it!
American Horror Story: Coven stars Jessica Lange and Kathy Bates won for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress, respectively, and as far as other top honors, Jim Parsons won for Best Actor in a Comedy series for his role on The Big Bang Theory while Modern Family won Best Comedy Series.
After Sara Bareilles sang "Smile" for the "In Memoriam" segment, Billy Crystal took the stage to honor Robin Williams, who passed away earlier this month. "It’s so hard to talk about him in the past because he was such a presence in all of our lives,” Crystal said during his touching tribute to the late comedian. "For almost 40 years, he was the brightest star in our comedy galaxy. The brilliance was astounding, the relentless energy was thrilling."
