EMMY AWARDS 2014: BRIEF RECAP
The 66th Primetime Emmy Awards was a surprisingly fun show to watch last night. Seth Meyers did a great job hosting thanks to jokes and audience participation.
Whoever said network TV was losing to cable and streaming totally ate that foot. Modern Family was the huge comedy winner, and CBS' Mom and The Big Bang Theory took home some gold.
Cable TV dominated the drama categories with Sherlock collecting seven awards. Breaking Bad came in behind with six Emmys, including Best Drama, and American Horror Story: Coven garnered four wins.
In fact, Netflix was the biggest loser of the night. It's main contenders, House of Cards and Orange Is the New Black, were completely shut-out during Monday's night telecast. And Ricky Gervais' Derek continued its losing streak. "OITNB" did however pick up wins at the Creative Awards.
Overall, HBO won this year's Emmys a total of 19 awards, followed by CBS,PBS, NBC, and ABC.
So what was the best moment of the show? There were so many to choose but it would be a tie.
Billy Crystal's touching tribute to his friend Robin Williams was personable and emotional, capped off by an excellent video montage.
We also have to choose everything and anything that had to do with Emmy winners Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Bryan Cranston. These two need to do a show ASAP!
