Emmys 2010: 'Breaking Bad's' Bryan Cranston is feeling 'gluttonous'

The Emmy Awards is not just a parade for stars to show off overpriced couture frocks and sleek suits. It can also cause diabetes for the actors it awards?

Metaphorically, that is, according to Emmy king Bryan Cranston (though, judging from the sweets they provide backstage, onset diabetes is likely possible).

The “Breaking Bad” actor got his third statuette Sunday for his role as the cancer-stricken Walter White. And with him being ineligible for a chance next year — the AMC series doesn’t return until July 2011 — he’s enjoying the feast of Emmy gold while he can … even if it causes health problems.

“I'm so grateful. It's like having a great meal to do the show, and then to be awarded an Emmy is a beautiful flambé dessert, and then last year was another dessert on top of that. I feel gluttonous. And it's more than I can take in. It really is. I feel like I'm going to become a diabetic. So it's actually a reprieve that I can relax next year and let things go. It really is.”

I've just seen the first two seasons of Breaking Bad. Cranston is amazing in this role he has taken on. The pull of his upside down life and emotions suck in even the most jaded viewer. I had never heard of the series before two weeks ago. It is the best I've seen and I'm a Dexter fan, Rome, Deadwood and the Sopranos. Cranston's performance it a 10 story drop right off the side of a building. Nice work....!

I love Cranston -- but this should have been Jon Hamm's night.
However, congrats to Mr. Cranston -- and much props to Aaron Paul! That young man is stellar!

I find myself oblivious to network television due to the lack of substance found there ! I imagine these CSI type shows are somewhat interesting but rather straight forward and lack the character driven qualities that provide Breaking Bad with the wonderfully penned dark humor the show provides me! I do believe Alfred Hitchcock (my Idol,LMAO) would simply adore this show and the remarkable writing! KUDOS TO YOU ALL!
