Every episode was great...splitting the seasons doesn't change anything. And are you kidding? Paul was great, but so was everyone else.

Matthew did not act circles around him. LOL. Was Matthew great? Amazing? sure, maybe. But to say he acted circles around him? No. And what do you mean you can't compare each talent? Most people considered Matthew a complete joke up until a couple of years ago. He turned in a few good roles, big deal. (I'm being dramatic like you now) but Cranston turned in the television/entertainment role of a lifetime with Walter White.

Not sure about countless. I think you pretty much named all of them, except maybe the shows on USA.
Paul WAS great. But in fairness, that was the only character, other than Skylar maybe, that was written with any kinda of range the last six episodes (season 5? 6?.. who knows)
So you mean Cranston had a legitimate career before his "role of a lifetime"? I wonder how many future roles will channel Walter White. I'm guessing most if not all. Plus... this award should have been for his production in the final season... six episodes... not season...12 in half... or whatever....
MacCaunaghey was amazing! Best acting job I've seen on TV... probably ever... This was his year to shine. And shine he did. You could totally hear the disappointment in the room when they announced Cranston as the winner...
Don't forget... I did like this show. I just liked MacCaunagheys perfomance more than Cranston's... comparing season to season.
