It seems to me that there would have to be an explanation which involves some kind of unfair trickery, don't you think?
No.
If somebody have a craps roll over four hours, I don't see why a well written, acted, and directed show can't win on merit.
I won't deny that somebody might have voted for it because it was going off the air. People can have biases for a show as well as against one.
But I don't see a high number of awards as evidence of any kind of collusion or skullduggery.
True. In the case of "Breaking Bad", I'd say the cigar is just a cigar. I found it to be one of the most, if not THE most, well written, acted and generally overall well executed pieces of entertainmet -- TV, Film, book, whatever -- I have ever had the privelege of viewing.
It gets bonus points for Aaron Paul being one of tne nicest and down to earth celebrities I've heard of in a long time. As a thank you to fans, the day of the Emmy's he put together a scavenger hunt in the Hollywood area with signed scripts and other memorabilia from the show and wrangled other actors from the show to participate. That's not the first time he's shown himself to be very self aware and appreciative regarding his success and good fortune.
Of course if the tone or direction of the show are just not appealing to you, that's completely understandable. As with anything involving taste, YMMV.
