And the Emmy goes to…

This year at the Primetime Emmy's, old tv favorites ran wild and won awards. Shows such as Veep, Breaking Bad, and Modern Family are all repeat winners, so in terms of surprises, this award show had none. Despite the stale winner's corner, there were a few key moments during this year's show, Weird Al Yankovic showed up and created parody lyrics for wordless theme songs, and we also saw the birth of an internet phenomenon in True Detective director Cary Joji Fukunaga.
