Gunn on the Red Carpet tonight (via @temptalia)

Gunn joked, “Bryan Cranston just told me to breathe.” She thanked “Breaking Bad” family, especially the brilliant creator Vince Gilligan. She continued to say it was a “joy and privilege” to have worked with the cast and production team through the series. 

This is the first Emmy win for the actress, though she was nominated last year as well. 

Other nominees for this category included Morena Baccarin in “Homeland,” Christine Baranski in “The Good Wife,” Emilia Clarke in “Game of Thrones,” Christina Hendricks in “Mad Men” and Maggie Smith in “Downton Abbey.”
