— -- The 2014 Emmy Awards were all about "Breaking Bad," the critically acclaimed show that just ended an iconic run on AMC and took home six awards tonight.

But it was the main cast of "Breaking Bad" -- Bryan Cranston, Aaron Paul, Anna Gunn -- who basically swept the awards in their final run. Not to mention the show also took home Best Drama Series.

"Bryan, there's not a single day that goes by that I don't miss running to set to work with you," Paul told Cranston, one last endearing message from Jesse Pinkman to Walter White.

In the comedy category, it was once again "Modern Family" that took home the top prize for Best Comedy Series and Jim Parsons won yet again for Best Actor in a Comedy with his hilarious work on "The Big Bang Theory."

Here is a list of the other big winners from the 66th Emmy Awards.
