Winner’s Circle: Bryan Cranston Bows Out with Sixth Emmy Win!

Matthew McConaughey would have made history tonight if his portrayal of Detective Rust Cohle on HBO’s True Detective earned a dramatic acting win. He would have been the first actor to nab an Oscar and Emmy, in drama categories, in the same year. Though he proved a top contender, it was category favorite BryanCranston whose final bow as Walter White in September 2013 garnered him a sixth Emmy—four as lead actor in a drama series.

On the lighter side of things, Modern Family won for Best Comedy, its fifth consecutive honor in the category. And, host Seth Meyers remained true to his promise of keeping an Ellen Degeneres-style selfie at bay.
