The Good Wife's Archie Panjabi winning "Best Supporting Actress"

Best Drama

Mad Men

Archie Panjabi, The Good Wife

Outstanding Actor

Bryan Cranston, Breaking Bad

I'm especially glad that Bryan Cranston won Best Actor and Aaron Paul got his first ever Emmy for his role on Breaking Bad, too. That show is seen as being a little obscure for Emmy voters, but they definitely proved everyone wrong this year. The complete list of winner can be read here.
