Breaking Bad has won best television drama series at the 65th Primetime Emmy Awards in Los Angeles.

There was much talk of a new golden age of television in recent years. Series would exceed the cinema – to dramaturgical sophistication and surprising materials, uncomfortable heroes of all: to innovation. But you can see the Emmys 2013, also appears to be close to the television innovations. Was awarded the Established taken daring most friendly note.

It started with the re-award of Claire Danes (“Homeland”) to be the best drama actress, but sat most impressive with the continuing stalemate in the comedy category. There, the main prizes were for Best Comedy and Best Actress at the previous year’s winner “Modern Family” or Julia Louis-Dreyfus (“Veep”) – and the excellent best actor Jim Parsons have also been two Emmys at home.

The genre innovator Louis C.K. (“Louie”) and Lena Dunham (“Girls”) were hand in all three and five categories for which they were nominated, passed over. The revitalized comedy “Arrested Development” (first time 2003 to 2006), the new standards in Gag density and bulkiness put to the genre, was fobbed off even in the major categories with a nomination for best actor.

Whether it was the fact that “Arrested Development” as well as “House of Cards” is running on the video portal Netflix? Newer platforms it certainly had remarkably heavy price in this round. Even “Breaking Bad” creators Vince Gilligan was surprised that his series in preference to “House of Cards” and was awarded as the best drama. In appreciation for an epochal series, which is nearing completion, this price is of course fine – just like the overdue victory of Anna Gunn as best supporting actress.

Jeff Daniels took the Emmy for best drama series actor for his role as a TV anchorman in The Newsroom, while Claire Danes won top actress honours for her role as a troubled CIA agent in Homeland.

But it was a night of disappointment for the British nominees.

Downton Abbey stars Hugh Bonneville, Michelle Dockery, Dame Maggie Smith, Imelda Staunton and Jim Carter all missed out.

Homeland’s British lead Damian Lewis and Parade’s End star Benedict Cumberbatch were also overlooked.

The show’s host Neil Patrick Harris joked that nobody would be winning office sweepstakes and the reaction to the show suggests some surprise winners and losers.

Breaking Bad’s Bryan Cranston was odds-on favourite to win best actor in a drama, but was beaten by Daniels.

There was a win for House Of Cards supremo David Fincher, a victory seen as a landmark for the show made and aired by streaming service Netflix.

The disappointment for Downton Abbey is tempered by the show’s continual rise to phenomenon status with American audiences. Michelle Obama and rapper P Diddy are said to be fans.

Among the other winners on the night was Laura Linney, who was named best actress in a mini-series or movie for her role in The Big C: Hereafter.

The Voice won best reality-competition programme, and Tina Fey won for her writing role with 30 Rock.

Michael Douglas was honoured as best actor for his portrayal of Liberace in Behind The Candelabra, besting his co-star Matt Damon.

The film also captured a top trophy as best movie or mini-series.

Television as a refuge for old Hollywood stars and elite training for the new “A List” – actually shines the golden age but still very strong.
