"Breaking Bad" won best drama Sunday night at the 65th Primetime Emmy Awards. The AMC show, by critical consensus TV's best show, finally got the industry consensus, too, by winning its first Emmy for best drama after four nominations.
Jeff Daniels of HBO's "The Newsroom" was a surprise winner for lead actor in a drama, upsetting "Breaking Bad's" Bryan Cranston and "Mad Men's" Jon Hamm. Claire Danes won lead actress in a drama for the second consecutive year for her role as Carrie Mathison on Showtime's "Homeland."
ABC's "Modern Family" won its fourth consecutive best comedy award, with Julia Louis-Dreyfus again winning lead actress in a comedy for her role as Vice President Selina Meyer on HBO's "Veep." Jim Parsons of CBS' "The Big Bang Theory" won his third Emmy for lead actor in a comedy.
Among other notable upset winners were "The Colbert Report" (variety series) and "The Voice" (reality competition program), which unthroned the longtime champs in their respective categories, "The Daily Show" and "The Amazing Race."
