The 2014 Emmy winners were announced and apart from the usual array of snubs, there were simply not that many surprises. It was a particularly good year for veteran television series. "Breaking Bad" swept the dramatic categories, winning Best Series, Best Actor (Bryan Cranston for a fourth time), Supporting nods for Aaron Paul and Anna Gunn, as well as Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series. This meant that "True Detective" missed out on most major awards, especially for Matthew McConaughey who many expected to add an Emmy to his hot streak of awards this year. Julianna Marguiles took home her second Emmy award for her performance as Alicia Florick in "The Good Wife".
On the comedy front, "Modern Family" won Best Series for a fifth consecutive year, matching the previously held record of "Frasier". In the miniseries categories, "Fargo" won Outstanding Miniseries and Outstanding Directing, while "American Horror Story: Coven" took home the awards for Outstanding Lead Actress (Jessica Lange) and Supporting Actress (Kathy Bates). This year was also great for "Sherlock", which scored three wins: Outstanding Lead Actor (Benedict Cumberbatch), Outstanding Writing (Steven Moffat) and Outstanding Supporting Actor (Martin Freeman).
