Television drama Breaking Bad won the top Primetime Emmy award for the first time, just as the gritty tale of a chemistry teacher turned meth cook and drug kingpin winds down to widespread acclaim.

Anna Gunn won best supporting actress in a drama for her role as the wife Skyler on Breaking Bad

Bryan Cranston (above), who was looking for this fourth best actor Emmy in his role as unlikely drug kingpin Walt White in Breaking Bad, lost out to the Newsroom's Jeff Daniels

HBO won the best miniseries/movie category with its slick Liberace program Behind the Candelabra. Veteran actor Michael Douglas (above) won best actor in that category for his portrayal of the pianist, besting his co-star Matt Damon, who played his young lover.

You deserve half of this, Douglas told Damon. Do you want the bottom or the top?

(L-R) Behind the Candelabra won several awards- Producers Michael Polaire, Gregory Jacobs, Susan Ekins and Jerry Weintraub and Michael Douglas with their trophies

Jeff Daniels, who plays a jaded anchorman in HBO's The Newsroom, scored an upset win for the best actor in a drama

I didn't expect this, Daniels said. I usually don't win anything. The last thing I won was for 'The Squid and the Whale,' best actor over 50 from the AARP. With all due respect to the AARP, this is better.

It was a bad night for the Brits at the Emmys with Downton Abbey's Michelle Dockery (above), Hugh Bonneville, Maggie Smith and creator Julian Fellows all missing out

Other Britons who missed out were Damian Lewis (Homeland) seen here with his wife Helen McCrory

Edie Falco recalled her late Sopranos co-star James Gandolfini, saluting him for his fierce loyalty to his friends and family and his work with military veterans

ABC's Modern Family, a highly stylised show about unconventional families, won the top comedy award for the fourth consecutive year. Director Gail Mancuso, winner of the Best Directing for a Comedy Series for Modern Family.
