They use achievement and that is not a bad way to go. Bryan Cranston of "Breaking Bad" hosted the event. They were handed out last night (July 28) at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, Beverly Hills.
The question now would be, who won?
"The past year in television offered a wide variety of standout programming. Viewers were treated to shows that were fearless, thought-provoking and original, spanning far beyond the traditional conventions,” said
TCA president Candace Havens. “Whether it was the hard-hitting drama of ‘Homeland,’ the elegance of ‘Downton Abbey,’ the brash honesty of ‘Louie’ or any of our other winners —truly, there was something for everyone. The TCA is proud to honor these outstanding programs with the help of the talented and award-winning Bryan Cranston."
