Deadline bullish on Cranston's Emmy chances:
Quote:
BRYAN CRANSTON (Breaking Bad, AMC)

Emmy Pedigree: In terms of the Primetime Emmys, Cranston has gone from a guy who can never win to a guy who seemingly can never lose. He was nominated for comedy series supporting actor three times (2002, ’03, and ’06) for his portrayal of the perpetually frazzled dad Hal on Fox’s Malcolm in the Middle and went home empty-handed every time. Conversely, he’s been nominated three times (2008, ’09, and ’10) for his work as the perpetually desperate meth chef Walter White on Breaking Bad and took home the statuette each year. He was denied last year, but perhaps only because his series wasn’t eligible. No actor on television turns in as consistently intense and mesmerizing a performance as Cranston, whose transformation from goofball daddy to sinister criminal is so complete that it’s difficult even to imagine the actor in his previous incarnation.

What We Say: Cranston’s work has turned him into TV’s ultimate antihero. It’s going to take an act of God (or Gus Fring) to keep him from winning his fourth trophy in a row.

Haven't seen one. Maybe reverse image search it?



EDIT: Handicapping the Best Supporting Actor Emmy race:
Originally Posted by Deadline.com:
GIANCARLO ESPOSITO (Breaking Bad, AMC)

Emmy Pedigree: It’s Esposito’s first nomination despite having been a steady character actor in television and film since the early 1980s. It took the TV Academy until Esposito’s final season to honor him, but better late than never.

What We Say: Esposito was able to communicate more with his eyes than most actors can with pages of dialogue. May Gus Fring rest in, well, whatever the opposite of peace is. And in the meantime, he’s the favorite here to win.



AARON PAUL (Breaking Bad, AMC)

Emmy Pedigree: Paul is the Emmy heavyweight of this group. This is his third nomination (the previous pair coming in 2009 and ’10, which he won) for his role as smalltime meth dealer-turned-mini kingpin Jesse Pinkman on Breaking Bad. His character has grown more sensitive and compassionate, and it stands out even among a cast of standouts. It’s why the producers decided to keep him around rather than kill Jesse off, as had been the original plan.

What We Say: He injects a vibrantly youthful element into a series that centers on a man suffering the world’s worst midlife crisis. Paul has a shot at winning his second, but this one’s likely to go to his costar, Giancarlo Esposito.

Bryan Cranston should quite easily win his 4th in a row but the only reason I have any doubts at all is because it would be his 4th in a row. Don't know if the people who choose the awards have the balls to let the best keep winning.

It's split. The Foreign Press purposely vote against the crowd favorite execpt on a few occasions.

At the same time when you make a season like season 4 which is considered one of the greatest seasons on TV that rival the wire/sorpranos....you can't exactly just write it off.

I wouldn't be surprised if the FP didn't give it to cranston just to prove a point that they are not "predictable"

The very thought that it will probably ratchet up even more as the second half goes on blows my mind. Because I'm already mad hyped about every upcoming episode.

Esposito should easily win that Emmy. Aaron Paul was good as always, but Gus deserves the recognition as one of the best television villains of all time. His performances were god tier and brought the show to another level. Seriously, go back and watch season 4. This season is great, but I still don't think it has yet to match the intensity of last season.

I agree, but I think one can argue that Jesse had more range and a more varied arc that season, while Gus was mostly pure evil from start to finish.

You know, apart from some episodes here and there, I've never actually sat down and rewatched the series after they first aired. I think after this half wraps up, I'll start from the beginning and watch one episode per week. By the time I'm done, the second half of season 5 will start.

I introduced my girlfriend to Breaking Bad, and we're up to the beginning of the 2nd season, where Skyler finds out about Walt's second cellphone, and at one point at the end of an episode, Walt goes to kiss her goodnight and she turns away and the episode ends. I see out of the corner of my eye my girl is shaking her head, and I ask "What?"

So she goes, "that sucks, but I don't really like her". Now, I've never liked Skyler but I never understood why, and earlier in this thread I said it's just the way she looks, and she agreed. She says everyone else in the show is reasonably attractive, she says Walt Jr. is a good looking kid, Walt looks like he was very attractive when younger, etc. but that the producers dropped the ball with Skyler and make it hard to sympathize with her.

Keep in mind this is before SFT and her bitchiness afterwards. So it's not just guys who don't like Skyler. I just found it funny that I had never even mentioned the fact that some people don't like Skyler for some reason, she just...felt it. Out of nowhere.

I would have heard about it a lot earlier if it had been nominated for an emmy. Stumbling on The Wire is what got me back into television. If I hadn't seen The Wire I would never have sought out shows like Breaking Bad.
