Cranston is nominated for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama for the 64th Emmy Awards for portraying Walter White on Breaking Bad.
I’m thrilled we received 13 nominations … When I left Malcolm In The Middle, there were offers to play the goofy dad, but Breaking Bad came along. I knew when I read it that Walter White was a rare beast. Whoever was going to play Walter White, it was going to change their life.

Emmy nomination
Parsons is nominated for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy at the 64th Primetime Emmy Awards for portraying Dr. Sheldon Cooper on The Big Bang Theory.
My mantra during award season is to enjoy it, enjoy it, enjoy it. You can’t help but feel stressed anytime attention is placed upon you. Chuck Lorre once said to me ‘Enjoy this as much as possible, because it’s a wildly fickle business.’ That’s all you can do. What’s funny during awards season is that there’s nothing you can do to work on it. You just smile and soak it in.
