The 66th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards took place last night (25th August) at the Nokia Theatre in Downtown Los Angeles, California.
Breaking Bad and Sherlock gained the most recognition, with the former winning all four of the awards it was nominated for including the Outstanding Drama Series award against the likes of Games of Thrones and True Detective.
For the latter, Benedict Cumberbatch won his first Emmy Award for his outstanding performance as detective Sherlock Holmes. His co-star Martin Freeman also picked up an award for Supporting Actor in a TV Miniseries or Movie.
Elsewhere, Modern Family won its fifth consecutive Outstanding Comedy Series award where it was up against some of this year’s most popular comedies including Orange Is the New Black as well as Jessica Lange winning her third Emmy for her role in American Horror Story: Coven.
