The show won a total of six Emmys including Outstanding Lead Actor In a Drama Series and Outstanding Supporting Actor In A Drama Series won by Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul respectively. Anna Gunn won the prize for supporting actress and Moira Walley-Beckett won the Emmy for writer. And Cranston’s win marks his fourth Emmy for his role as Walter White in the series from 2008 to 2013.

“My own family nicknamed me Sneaky Pete,” he said, noting he didn’t expect he’d find his niche. And then he found acting.

He dedicated the Emmy to “all the Sneaky Petes of the world. … Take a chance, take a risk. It’s really worth it.”

Aaron Paul got his third win for playing Jesse Pinkman, White’s sometimes undependable right hand.
