Walter goes home to pack up his things, and then Skyler arrives with the kids and is confused to see Walter. Many critics and fans believe that Breaking Bad season five, episode 15, called “Ozymandias,” is one of the greatest in TV history.

Woody Harrelson, True Detective (“The Locked Room”)Ħ.Unfortunately, Skyler White was not a beloved character. Kevin Spacey, House of Cards (“Chapter 26”)ĥ.

Matthew McConaughey, True Detective (“Form and Void”)ģ. Bryan Cranston, Breaking Bad (“Ozymandias”)Ģ. If voters can’t choose between the top two contenders, Spacey could sneak in.ġ. However, his episode submission “Chapter 26” gives him great scene after scene, including his typewriter scene and of course the infamous desk knock (check out our season 2 Emmy worthy moments here). The show was much buzzed about when it was first released and, because of Netflix, it’s technically always playing. I think the real dark horse here is Kevin Spacey ( House of Cards). McConaughey does fine in Harrelson’s submission of “The Locked Room”, but nothing overwhelming. He has a great emotional monologue toward the end of the episode, but having a second tape from Woody Harrelson ( True Detective) didn’t help him any. That being said, his episode submission “Form and Void” doesn’t give a huge amount of material to show off. In addition to being lauded for his performance in the show, he also won an Oscar earlier this year and True Detective has been one of the most talked about new shows. There is a lot of buzz and love for Matthew McConaughey ( True Detective). If voters didn’t pay attention to anything but performance, Bryan Cranston ( Breaking Bad) would be a slam dunk for the episode “Ozymandias.” However, voters don’t have blinders on when they vote.
