Breaking Bad sweeps Emmy Awards

‘Breaking Bad’ was the big winner at the 66th Primetime Emmy Awards last night (25.08.14).

The critically acclaimed drama, which came to an end last year, celebrated its swansong with a slew of awards including the night’s top prize, Outstanding Drama, and Outstanding Actor in a Drama for Bryan Cranston.

Aaron Paul and Anna Gunn also earned Outstanding Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress in a Drama, respectively, for the show.

‘Breaking Bad’ creator Vince Gilligan said: ”Thank you so much for this wonderful farewell, you have been very kind to us indeed.”

‘Modern Family’ was crowned Outstanding Comedy Series for a fifth consecutive year and actor Ty Burrell was lauded for his portrayal of Phil Dunphy with the Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy award.

‘Veep’ star Julia Louis-Dreyfus and ‘The Big Bang Theory’ funnyman Jim Parsons continued to rein over the comedy acting categories, winning Outstanding Actress and Outstanding Actor in a Comedy yet again. The award marks Julia’s third consecutive nod for her hit HBO show, while Jim is now a four-time Emmy winner for his role as socially-challenged scientist Sheldon Cooper.

The humble comedian put his big win down to luck, telling the audience: ”There is no accounting for taste and it’s with good fortune that I stand up here tonight.”

‘The Good Wife’ actress Julianna Margulies topped the Outstanding Actress in a Drama category and paid tribute to her fellow nominees, enthusing: ”What a wonderful time for women on television.”

‘Sherlock’ star Benedict Cumberbatch waved the flag for the Brits by winning Outstanding Actor in a Miniseries or Movie, beating his co-star Martin Freeman – who was nominated for his role in ‘Fargo’ – and Oscar nominee Chiwetel Ejiofor. But Martin didn’t go home empty-handed as he earned Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Miniseries or Movie for his role as Dr. John Watson in ‘Sherlock’.

Jessica Lange, who recently announced she will retire from acting soon, was honored with another Emmy Award for Outstanding Actress in a Miniseries or Movie for ‘American Horror Story: Coven’.

This year’s Emmy Awards weren’t without controversy, however, as social media users blasted a ”sexist” skit which saw ‘Modern Family’ beauty Sofia Vergara pose on a rotating platform while the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences president Bruce Rosenblum gave his annual speech.

One angry viewer wrote on Twitter: ”aaaand with that sexist Sophia Vergara bit, my TV is now off. Didn’t last long. (sic)”

Another sarcastically wrote: ”Sophia Vergara was literally just used as a prop, because women are props. Cool #Emmys (sic)”

Seth Meyers to host Emmy Awards 2014

Seth Meyers is to host the Primetime Emmy Awards 2014.

The ‘Late Night With Seth Meyers’ host is set to front the 66th annual event for the first time on August 25, held at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles, which will air on NBC.

Bruce Rosenblum, head of the Television Academy, said last night (04.24.14): ”Seth is such a talented performer and writer, and we know he will bring something unique to hosting the Primetime Emmy Awards.”

The glamorous ceremony, which honors the best in primetime television programming, will be held one month earlier than usual, and on a Monday instead of the usual Sunday, because of NBC’s contractual commitment to televise ‘Sunday Night Football’.

Seth, 40, who has previously won three Emmy awards for his long-running show ‘Saturday Night Live’, follows in the footsteps of ‘How I Met Your Mother’ star Neil Patrick Harris, who hosted the event last year on CBS.

In 2012, Jimmy Kimmel fronted the awards on ABC, before taking over from ‘Glee’ star Jane Lynch, who led the ceremony for Fox in 2011.

Meanwhile, Seth was named as one of Time magazine’s 100 most influential people yesterday alongside Beyonce, Pharrell Williams, Matthew McConaughey, Miley Cyrus and Amy Adams.

Breaking Bad, Modern Family lead 2013 Emmy Awards

‘Breaking Bad’ and ‘Modern Family’ were the big winners at the 65th annual Primetime Emmy Awards last night (09.22.13).

The critically acclaimed Bryan Cranston-starring show – which is due to conclude later this month after five seasons – was lauded with the night’s top prize for Best Drama and actress Anna Gunn, who plays Skyler White, added to the accolades with a Best Supporting Actress trophy.

Show creator and writer Vince Gilligan admitted he didn’t expect the victory as he took the stage at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles.

He said: ”I did not see this coming. I thought this was going to be ‘House of Cards’. ”

Meanwhile, hit sitcom ‘Modern Family’ – featuring an ensemble cast including Sofia Vergara and Julie Bowen – claimed its fourth consecutive prize for Best Comedy.

‘Homeland’ actress Claire Danes won her second Emmy for her portrayal of CIA agent Carrie Mathison at the ceremony and ‘The Big Bang Theory’ star Jim Parsons earned his third Emmy for his portrayal of uber-nerd Sheldon Cooper.

‘The Newsroom’ actor Jeff Daniels and ‘Nurse Jackie’ actress Meritt Wever were among the surprise winners of the night, collecting Best Actor in a Drama and Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy, respectively.

A-list movie actor Michael Douglas was also honored with a prize for Best Actor in a Miniseries or Movie for his role as Liberace in ‘Behind the Candelabra’. The Steven Soderbergh-directed film aired on pay channel HBO in the US, making it eligible for the Emmys rather than the Oscars.

This year’s Emmy Awards proved more solemn than in years past, with tributes being paid to late ‘Glee’ actor Cory Monteith and ‘The Sopranos’ leading man James Gandolfini.

James’ former on-screen wife Edie Falco led a tribute to him, while ‘Glee’ actress Jane Lynch led a tribute to Cory, who died in July.

James Gandolfini and Cory Monteith to be honoured at Emmys

James Gandolfini and Cory Monteith will be honored at the Emmy Awards.

Gandolfini, who died of a heart attack, and Cory, who lost his life to a drug overdose, will be among those given posthumous nods during the show this coming Sunday (09.22.13).

As well as a traditional ‘In Memoriam’ segment on the show personal tributes will be paid to James, Cory, Gary David Goldberg, Jean Stapleton and Jonathan Winters, paid by their close friends.

Emmy telecast executive producer Ken Ehrlich said: ”The ‘In Memoriam’ is a very emotional and evocative segment for the Emmys, or any annual awards program.

”These five individuals brought us such great entertainment and joy, so having their close friends share personal remembrances is something that will be very meaningful for television audiences across the country and across the generations.”

In the segment Edie Falco – who played Gandolfini’s character Tony Soprano’s wife Carmela Soprano in ‘The Sopranos’ – will remember Gandolfini, Jane Lynch will pay tribute to her ‘Glee’ co-star Cory, while Michael J. Fox will honor ‘Family Ties’ producer Gary David – who is widely credited with helping make him a star.

Rob Reiner will pay tribute to his ‘All in the Family’ co-star Jean and Robin Williams will honor comedian Jonathan Winters, who was his early mentor and worked with him on ‘Mork and Mindy’.

The 65th Primetime Emmy Awards will take place on Sunday, hosted by Neil Patrick Harris and broadcast on live on US channel CBS.
