This Is Not What We All Anticipated Glaring At 2013’s Emmy Award Winner List.

This year’s list was a shocker! At least for me, a lot of new faces were seen, a couple of runner-ups in the past triumphed and my personal favorite, a new tradition was deployed.

If it’s a twist you were in high expectation of, sit down because you are about to witness the most shocking list ever; contrary to the popular belief of the major release copping all the awards for the night this year’s own was different.

Some of the big winners summed for the night included Breaking Bad’s Anna Gunn receiving her first Emmy and Jeff Daniels winning his first major award and first Emmy for his outstanding role in TV show “Newsroom.”

iBlab, what do you do?
