"LOS ANGELES \u2014 Yeah, b*tch! Emmys!\nLike the meth handling duo of Jesse Pinkman and Walter White on Breaking Bad, the actors who played them essentially told all other Emmy nominees to stay out of their territory on Monday night. Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul kept the competition at bay, once again notching wins in the lead actor and supporting actor in a drama series categories.\nIt was a bittersweet last hurrah, after five seasons on AMC and six years on the awards-show circuit together. On the red carpet, in the ceremony and in the press room at Nokia Theatre emotions ran high. They hugged, they blew kisses and they got teary-eyed on and off camera.\n\nThe final time we'll ever see the @BreakingBad_AMC cast and crew together in any #Emmys press room. So many feels! pic.twitter.com/O2LgdUBzvV\n\u2014 Brian A.

The cake itself was getting to work with these wonderful people for six years. This indeed is the icing, it's the cherry on top, it's the hot fudge.\"\nIn some ways, it felt as though the series, which had earned 58 Primetime Emmy nominations and 16 wins since debuting in 2008, had ended all over again just like it did when the final episode wrapped up beautifully in 2013.\nThe cast did not tread lightly on our emotions.\nBut all good things must come to end. Walter White Jr. actor RJ Mitte told Mashable he was \"sad everyone would be separating and going their own ways.\"\nHis TV mom Anna Gunn \u2014 who repeated as winner in the supporting actress category for her portrayal of Walter White's courageous yet emotionally abused wife Skylar \u2014 was more optimistic, telling us about her post-Breaking Bad endeavors.\n\nAnna Gunn hugs Bryan Cranston after winning the Emmy for outstanding supporting actress on Aug. 25.

It's the best thing that you, um, it's the best pilot script I've ever seen,'\" Gunn recalled. \"She was right and it turned into the most extraordinary journey over the past seven years, and I have been unbelievably fortunate. And, Vince Gilligan, you are the reason for that, so thank you.\"\n\nGunn, Paul and Cranston all showered Gilligan with praise during their acceptance speeches, and the compliments continued in the press room.\n\"We all bow to the genius of Vince Gilligan and his writing staff,\" Cranston said backstage.\nThe writing earned Breaking Bad another Emmy on Monday in the outstanding writing field, with Moira Walley-Beckett's tremendous \"Ozymandias\" (a.k.a. the episode with Hank's final scene) edging out Gilligan's \"Felina,\" Game of Thrones, House of Cards and True Detective.\nCranston, who took home his fourth lead actor Emmy for his antihero role, proclaimed he would act until his \"last breath.\"\n\nGilligan had time to shine on air, accepting the night's biggest drama award for outstanding drama series. The\u00A0show's second consecutive win in the category. Breaking Bad fended off Downton Abbey, Game of Thrones, House of Cards, Made Men and True Detective.\n\nAmong his thank-you nods, Gilligan thanked \"the best damn crew ever in Albuquerque, New Mexico.\" It's only fitting then that New Mexico generated the most Emmy-related buzz on Facebook, according to stats the social networked shared with Mashable.\nNew Mexico, where Breaking Bad was filmed, became home to the series' iconic moments \u2014 the meth deals, the drama, the deaths and everything between. It's where Jesse Pinkman's obscenities got TV lovers everywhere yelling \"b*tch\" over the past seven years.\n\"I love saying the word 'b*tch',\" Paul told journalists after the ceremony. \"End scene.\"\nSee also: 'Breaking Bad' Actor Aaron Paul's Emmy Speech Broke His Wife's Website\n\n\n\n2014 Emmy Winners\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBreaking Bad- Outstanding Drama Series \nWriter/producer Vince Gilligan (c) and representatives of 'Breaking Bad' accept the Outstanding Drama Series award on stage during the 66th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards\n\nImage: Mark Davis/NBC/Getty Images\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAnna Gunn- Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series\nAnna Gunn accepts the award for 'Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series' for her work on \u201CBreaking Bad\u201D.\n\nImage: Vince Bucci/Invision/Associated Press\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBryan Cranston- Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series\nBryan Cranston accepts the award for 'Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series' for his work in \u201CBreaking Bad\".\n\nImage: Vince Bucci/Invision/Associated Press\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJulianna Margulies- Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series\nJulianna Margulies accepts the award for 'Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series' for her work on \u201CThe Good Wife\u201D at the 66th Primetime Emmy Awards.\n\nImage: Vince Bucci/Invision/Associated Press\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nModern Family- Outstanding Comedy Series\nWriter/producer Steven Levitan (holding Emmy award) and fellow 'Modern Family' representatives accept the Outstanding Comedy Series award on stage during the 66th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards\n\nImage: Mark Davis/NBC/Getty Images\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAaron Paul- Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series\nAaron Paul accepts the award for 'Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series' for his work on \u201CBreaking Bad\u201D.\n\nImage: Vince Bucci/Invision/Associated Press\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nStephen Colbert- Outstanding Variety Series\nComedian Stephen Colbert poses in the press room after winning for 'Outstanding Variety Series' during the 66th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards.\n\nImage: Steve Granitz/WireImage/Getty Images\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFargo- Outstanding Miniseries\nWriter/producer Noah Hawley (c) and fellow representatives of 'Fargo' accept the Outstanding Miniseries award on stage during the 66th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards.\n\nImage: Mark Davis/NBC/Getty Images\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSarah Silverman- Outstanding Writing for a Variety Special\nComedienne Sarah Silverman accepts the Outstanding Writing for a Variety Special award for 'Sarah Silverman: We Are Miracles' on stage during the 66th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards.\n\nImage: Mark Davis/NBC/Getty Images\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJulia Louis-Dreyfus- Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series\nJulia Louis-Dreyfus accepts the award for 'Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series' for her work on \u201CVeep\u201D at the 66th Primetime Emmy Awards.\n\nImage: Vince Bucci/Invision/Associated Press\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Normal Heart- Outstanding Television Movie\nRyan Murphy of \u201CThe Normal Heart\u201D accepts the award for 'Outstanding Television Movie' at the 66th Primetime Emmy Awards.\n\nImage: Vince Bucci/Invision/Associated Press\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHis Last Vow (Masterpiece)- Outstanding Writing for a Miniseries, Movie or a Dramatic Special\nSteven Moffat accepts the award for 'Outstanding Writing for a Miniseries, Movie or a Dramatic Special' for his work on \u201CHis Last Vow (Masterpiece)\u201D at the 66th Primetime Emmy Awards.\n\nImage: Vince Bucci/Invision/Associated Press\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Amazing Race- Outstanding Reality Competition\nRepresentatives of 'The Amazing Race' accept the award for Outstanding Reality Competition on stage during the 66th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards held at the Nokia Theater on August 25, 2014.  \n\nImage: Mark Davis/NBC/Getty Images\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGail Mancuso- Outstanding Directing for a Comedy Series\nGail Mancuso accepts the award for 'Outstanding Directing for a Comedy Series' for her work on \u201CModern Family\u201D.\n\nImage: Vince Bucci/Invision/Associated Press\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nColin Bucksey- Outstanding Directing for a Miniseries, Movie or a Dramatic Special\nDirector Colin Bucksey accepts Outstanding Directing for a Miniseries, Movie or a Dramatic Special for the 'Fargo' episode 'Buridan's Ass' onstage at the 66th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards.\n\nImage: Mark Davis/NBC/Getty Images\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCary Joji Fukunaga- Outstanding Directing for a Drama Series\nCary Joji Fukunaga accepts the award for 'Outstanding Directing for a Drama Series' for his work on \u201CTrue Detective\u201D -
