Breaking Bad's "worst" season is still really amazing based on normal standards. But really, BB should've won the year before for S3, but everyone had a Homeland boner that year.

I think you're right about the audience expecting Mad Men, and I'm not sure if many themselves watch GoT. They probably just heard all the SJWs crying about rape scenes and didn't focus on anything else.

I just looked this up so apparently the year Homeland won, Breaking Bad was nominated for Season 4 and two years earlier, Mad Men won while Breaking Bad was nominated for Season 3. This doesn't seem to make sense, but I guess since Season 4 premiered later in the year than Season 3, it wasn't nominated at all during the year that Mad Men won for the 4th consecutive time.

Yes! I forgot about that. One of the seasons of Breaking Bad didn't start until July so it was ineligible one year. I think the same thing happened to True Blood (Not that it was Emmy worthy in the later seasons)

Eh, the point I was trying to make is the Emmys are probably going to award Game of Thrones a ton of shit to make up for what they didn't do earlier.

I think you're right about the Emmys awarding GoT now because they might have not taken them seriously as a drama at first since award shows in general don't recognize fantasy too often. I still think that they could have won for Season 1 or 3 though. If I really had to rank the seasons after rewatches it would go: 1, 4, 3, 5, 2, but I think Season 3 is probably the most underrated season of the show. It barely gained any recognition, probably because Breaking Bad had already conquered the other nominees, so I still consider GoT win on sunday night as a win for its previous seasons as well.

A longish post from Cogman on the subject.

Hi everyone,

Okay this will be my last Emmy related post, as we all need to get back to reality. But I did want to express a few things I’ve been feeling since our win a couple of nights ago.

Because, by some stroke of amazing good fortune, I get to be called “Producer” on GoT, I was able to take home one of these lovely gold (and very sharp and heavy) statues, which, of course, I’ll treasure.

But this win for Outstanding Drama Series belongs to so many people – the hardworking, endlessly creative, extraordinary artists who make up our crew and cast, past and present.
So this is for people like Lynda Marshall, our Dragon crew script supervisor who has been with us since the beginning and keeps the actors on book(or sort of on book in some cases). It’s for people like Lisa Trinder, our video playback goddess, who has set such an incredible example for her daughter that she’s pursuing a career in film too – ensuring generations of Trinders helping entertain the world. It’s for Brian “Props” and James-y and Mark Lowry. It’s for Sean Savage, Dave Morgan, and the best camera crew in the business. It’s for Robbie Boake, who finds our beautiful locations. It’s for producers Annick Wolkan and Olly Butler – two people who work harder than perhaps anyone on the planet. It’s for Helen Sloan, whose still photos of our cast captivate fans the world over. It’s for Alanna Riddell Bond, our tireless script coordinator (and my beloved former office mate). It's for David Hill -- the only S5 writer not on that stage on Sunday (and he deserved to be).

These are but a handful of names – I could go on and on for days and days about our Belfast crew/production team, Dragon/Wolf units, and the equally fine crews in Croatia and Spain. These artists are a shining example of excellence to the entire film/TV industry.

And as proud as I am of Season Five, for me, this was a win for all four seasons that came before and the wonderful artists who worked with us in the past. So this belongs to Sean and Kit and Michelle and Rich and Jack and Charles and... man, we killed off a lot of actors! It belongs to writer Vanessa Taylor. It belongs directors to like Alik Sakharov and Alex Graves and Alan Taylor and Michelle MacLaren and Timmy Van Patten and so many others who made the show what it is…

My heart is full. I’m hugely proud of all you. I’m humbled to work with you and learn from you. And the only thing better than winning this (again, very sharp and heavy) gold statue is that I get to return to Belfast and keep making this special show with you all.

With gratitude,
B

They're all getting really good at this game now. Took them awhile after Season 5 ended but now they have their smokes and mirrors tactics down pat. Winning performance!

The other two pulled away from her breasts and added their voices to the call, translucent wings unfolding and stirring the air, and for the first time in hundreds of years, the night came alive with the music of dragons.”

I always thought that was a very common opinion. He's certainly a more humble figure than D and D or GrrM. But really I think that comes down to how many episodes they all do a year and the amount of time that can be put into them. Because Cogman was just Benioff's assistant who they upgraded to staff writer (as happened again with Dave Hill) rather than a novelist or professional writer to begin with. But still because he can put more time into his (now) two episodes, he's seen as a much more consistent writer. Where D and D do seven, or really three-and-a-half each because they write separately, so there is more of a hit-and-miss quality to them. Still though, I think D and D still have more great episodes under their belt than Cogman...they just also have more mediocre ones there too. If he did a comparable amount of episodes as they did though, I think people's opinions on their abilities in relation to one another would even out.
