Bryan Cranston’s Stellar Emmy Awards Win
The 2014 Emmy Awards was a memorable event, thanks to a certain star of the hit series Breaking Bad. Yes, we are talking about Bryan Cranston. He bagged the award for Outstanding Actor in a Drama Series. His portrayal of Walter White in the series was beyond perfect and this award was his well-deserved crown.
Who Else was Nominated?
That year, some immensely talented actors were up for the award. Matthew McConaughey, Jeff Daniels, Jon Hamm, Woody Harrelson, and Kevin Spacey. Each one of them delivered tremendous performances. But Bryan stood out, and his win was a popular one amid fans worldwide.
An Unforgettable Acceptance Speech
His award acceptance speech was full of humor, gratitude, and inspiration. Bryan jokingly said that he thought of voting for McConaughey himself. But then, he got serious. He extended his thanks to the ‘Sneaky Petes’ of the world. And he didn’t mean the con man from the show with the same name.
By ‘Sneaky Petes,’ Bryan referred to people who are often settling for less. They choose mediocrity because they think it’s safe. His advice? Take risks. Who knows, you might end up with a reason to celebrate.
Some Special Thanks were Made
In his journey as Walter White, Bryan had tons of support. He didn’t forget to extend his gratitude to everyone who contributed. He thanked the creator of Breaking Bad, Vince Gilligan, for trusting him with the role. His co-star Aaron Paul also received a special mention.
