This year's 74th Emmy Awards is both expected and somewhat surprising.
Not surprisingly, the big hit drama "Squid Game" won the award, and it was surprising that the high-scoring drama "Wind Riot Lawyer" ("Breaking Bad" spin-off drama), which was also a big hit, actually did not receive any money.
49-year-old South Korean actor Lee Jung-jae, with "Squid Game", defeated the actor and actor Bob Odenkirk, the actor who played the male protagonist of "The Wind Lawyer", and creatively won the Emmy Award!
Lee Jeong-jae became the first Asian actor in Emmy history to win "Best Actor in a Drama Series" and the first non-English-language drama to star in the award. At the same time, "Squid Game" director Huang Dong hyuk won the Best Director Award.
The best drama series was won by "Battle of Succession" (season three), which is the second time the show has won this award, and also the 26-year-old actress Zandaya, who won the best actress award again for "Excitement".
Lee Jeong-jae took the stage to accept the award and thanked the Emmy organizers and drama producer Netflix, director Hwang Dong-hyuk and the entire "Squid Game" crew, and finally he thanked his friends, family and fans in Korean.
Some rejoice, others are lost.
Bob Odenkirk, the actor of "Dirty Lawyer", has been nominated for the Emmy Award for Best Actor in a Drama Series six times, but it is inevitable that people will regret missing the emperor again this year.
It seems that "The Wind Lawyer" has won the Emmy Award curse, the show has completed 6 seasons, so far a total of 46 nominations for Emmy Awards, but 0 awards.
When the Emmys announced that the winner of the best drama actor was Lee Jung-jae, the camera kept slapping Bob who was clapping offstage, and although he was laughing, his expression was still a little complicated.
Later, Bob Odenkirk shared a photo with actress Leia Sejon, saying that he had been honored to work with the best people on and off stage in the past 8 years, writing: "Thank you for lifting my head off the cement floor".
As a result, many fans of the drama are aggrieved by "The Wind Lawyer" and Bob, after all, as a derivative drama of "Breaking Bad", this drama can be filmed longer than "Breaking Bad", and the reputation and rating have always been so high, it has long been a "divine drama" in the hearts of countless drama fans.
However, there is media analysis, because the final season of "Wind Lawyer" is divided into two parts, this year's Emmy "Wind Lawyer" is eligible for the first half, and the last 6 episodes of the second half should be registered for next year's Emmy Awards. If so, hopefully the show and Bob will still have a chance to fight it.
