The Complete List of Emmy Winners
Sunday night this week was all about choices. Should you have watched the second-to-last episode of Breaking Bad or the 2013 Emmys? And, if you decided the latter, who should have won in some of its very, very competitive categories, like Best Actor in a Drama? (How could Emmy voters have possibly been expected to choose between favorites like Breaking Bad's Bryan Cranston, Mad Men's Jon Hamm, and House of Cards' Kevin Spacey? And how could they have ended up choosing Boardwalk Empire 's Bobby Cannavale?)
But these are choices that had to be made, so we had to settle with our own (and Emmy voters') decisions. (Or, at least, shake our fists that the night didn't go as we had planned.) And, in order to see what those decisions were, check out our list of winners listed below. Though Breaking Bad did pick up the last award of the night, Outstanding Drama, and the Best Actress award (go Anna Gunn!), the ceremony surprised by not giving the AMC series a sweep — instead, the night belonged to no one in particular, with Behind the Candelabra picking up the most awards, with only three wins.
Without further ado, here are the big winners at the 2013 Emmy Awards (including some of the big winners from this year's Creative Arts Emmy ceremony, which took place Sept. 15). And now that that's over, let's go back to talking about Breaking Bad.
