"Look on my works"

Emmys: count me in among "Tatiana Maslany was robbed" and "why does Downton Abbey still get nominated?" But other than Breaking Bad people, I have no favourites. I'd love it if Bryan Cranston, Aaron Paul and Anna Gunn would win one last time (for this show), but I suppose more recent performances will be on everyone's minds. As for "best episode": here both Felina (written by Vince Gilligan) and Ozymandias (written by Moira Walley-Becket) were nominated, and while I approve of the finale, Ozymandias was clearly THE standout episode in the final run - and one of the best episodes not just of Breaking Bad but on tv ever. (Vince Gilligan thinks so, too, as I recall; he called Ozymandias "the best episode we ever had or will ever have" here.) If Moira W-B doesn't win for Ozymandias, there is no tv justice in this world!

(Especially if she's beaten by one of this year's Game of Thrones episodes. Seriously, just - no.)

Belatedly, it occurs to me I can also root for The Good Wife's actors who are nominated, but while I adore Diane (and Christine Baranski), there's no way I'm not rooting for Skyler and Anna Gunn in the best supporting female actress category. For reasons why, see again: Ozymandias. (Also the last Walt and Skyler conversation ever in Felina.) Still, if Anna Gunn doesn't win, Christine Baranski be better the victor. But most of all, and again: Ozymandias for best episode. And in conclusion: Ozymandias. Anything else about this year's Emmys is immaterial.
