Emmy awards

So Bryan Cranston got his third emmy in a row.

He's fantastic but I'm, above all, glad that Aaron Paul received his first emmy for Oustanding Supporting Actor in Breaking Bad too. I know, I know, there was Terry O'Quinn in the category too, but he already got it years ago, and Aaron Paul was terrific in season 2 and 3, he owns the show as much as Cranston to the point that Jesse looks as much a lead as Walter in the series. They couldn't break the pairing!!!!!



Me, I would have also given the emmy for best drama to Breaking Bad, because it is really the best show on tv these days (the actors are excellent but so are the writing, the directing and the cinematography), but I guess they had to give it to Mad Men after Cranston and Paul got the best actor ones.

I'm glad Bryan Cranston won too - I think he's a very good character actor and can switch really well from comedy to tragedy and all points in between.

Three in a row seems a bit too much for many people given that John Hamm was also excellent and other nominees were all very talented actors, but Cranston made again an impression. The role of Walter White is just a gift, and it's great to see both BB actors being rewarded at the same time. They have such a great chemistry on screen and they seem to like each other a lot.

Switching from comedy to tragedy is what Breaking Bad does actually. It can be very very dark and poignant at moments or just hilarious.

I love Mad Men, it's a very good show, but Breaking Bad is really the best thing on tv. They should have rewarded the show too since season 4 will start in July so it won't be eligible for the 2011 Emmys.
