Awards were the prize for Breaking Bad
It’s fair to say that Breaking Bad was an award winning TV show. Have you ever truly appreciated just how many awards the TV show and it’s stars picked up during it’s tenure?
It should be noted that the list below isn’t as comprehensive as it could be, if you also included the numerous production and craft awards it also collected.
The list below does give you a very good idea of just how many accolades were dished out between the years of 2008 and 2014 (and also a few for 2019 for ‘of the decade’ awards).
The masterpeice that was Breaking Bad deserved every single award, and in some cases was likely robbed for those many many nominations also listed! (just our opinion!)
