Last night's Emmy awards were a mixed bag. There were some great wins and frustrating loses, and while the ceremony went smoothly, it did have its low points. So, here is a list of my so called Emmy superlatives.
Most Satisfying Win: Watching Bryan Cranston win his final Emmy for Breaking Bad was awesome, but I have to say that seeing Anna Gunn take her second Emmy made me incredibly happy. You go, girl.
Worst Loss: As much as I absolutely love Martin Freeman and all of the work in his career, Matt Bomer should have won the Emmy for The Normal Heart.
Best Surprise Face: Oddly enough, tons of people were genuinely surprised by their Emmy wins, but I loved Kathy Bates' absolute shock when she won for American Horror Story.
Best Gag: The Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Bryan Cranston Seinfeld gag. The world nearly exploded from that kiss.
Best Segment: Billy on the Street… enough said.
Worst Segment: As much as I absolutely adore Weird Al, that whole theme song thing wasn't funny at all.
Best I Lost, but I'm Happy For You Face: Kerry Washington‘s joy for Julianna Margulies when she won Lead Actress in a Drama Series warmed my heart.
Best I Lost and I hate you face: The Normal Heart guys looked absolutely pissed off that Martin Freeman won
Best Speech: It's tough, but I'm going to say Bryan Cranston had the perfect mix of sweetness, humor, and modesty. It was such a well balanced and well spoken speech.
Best Streak kept alive: A The Good Wife actresses winning an Emmy every single year so far. Kept alive this year by Julianna Margulies.
Worst Streak kept alive: Modern Family. I actually hate you.
Best Repeat Winner: In a year with tons of repeat winners, it was great to see Aaron Paul take his third trophy for Breaking Bad.
Worst Repeat Winner: Jim Parsons constantly wins for doing the exact same thing on The Big Bang Theory. This must end.
Best Presenter: Amy Poehler and Seth Meyers going through ways to introduce McConaughey and Harrelson was pretty damn funny.
Honorable Mention: What a tastefully done In Memoriam segment. Bravo.
