Emmys 2014: Breaking Bad, Modern Family and Veep among big winners
The final season of AMC’s hit drama Breaking Bad has taken the top honors at the 66th annual primetime Emmy awards, with five wins including best drama series, while Modern Family won best comedy series for the fifth consecutive time.
“Thank you so much for this wonderful farewell, you have been very kind to us indeed,” said Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan, who lauded his crew and cast for their work on the series.
NBC’s Monday broadcast set a sleepy tone as awards were doled out to what has become a redundant stable of winners: Jim Parsons won his fourth Emmy for best actor in a comedy series for The Big Bang Theory, Julia Louis-Dreyfus won her third consecutive lead comedy actress award for Veep, and The Amazing Race won best reality-competition program for the tenth time.
