The 2012 Emmy nominations were announced this morning, and Breaking Bad scored big. Bryan Cranston was nominated for a 4th time as lead actor in a drama, an award he won for each of the first 3 seasons of the show. There's no reason he shouldn't win again. Anna Gunn, Aaron Paul, and Giancarlo Esposito got nods in the supporting categories. Of course I would love to see them all win, but Esposito is the one to watch. His calm, ruthless Gustavo Fring is the most menacing TV villain in recent memory. And, of course, the show itself was nominated for best drama. We'll find out who wins on September 23.
edited for previously unknown information: Also nominated was the Mark Margolis, whom I was thrilled to see come back as Tio Salamanca this year. What that man can do with only a bell and a mean face puts a lot of actors to shame. There's one more nomination: Vince Gilligan for directing "Face-Off," the brilliant season 4 finale. Of course he should win.
