Emmy Awards 2014 Winners List: Breaking Bad and Modern Family Win Big at the Awards Show
Robin Williams was remembered in a graceful and emotional tribute by friend and actor Billy Crystal.
Monday's Emmy Awards kicked off at the Nokia Theatre amidst glitz and glamour as major TV and movie stars descended at Nokia Theater, Los Angeles.
Almost a year after airing the series finale episode, AMC's drama series Breaking Bad grabbed most of the major awards at the 66th Primetime Emmy Awards.
The award night was hosted by American actor and comedian Seth Meyers, who entertained the guests with his funny monologues.
ABC's Modern Family walked away with the most awards while Netflix won only seven awards in spite of reserving 31 nominations for its original series including Orange Is the New Black.
However, the highlight of the evening was an emotional tribute to Robin Williams by his long time friend and actor Billy Crystal.
"As genius as he was on stage, he was the greatest friend you could ever imagine," Crystal said while recalling his friendship with the deceased star, "It is very hard to talk about him in the past tense because he was so present in all of our lives."
"He made us laugh. Hard. Every time you saw him," Crystal said in his emotional speech and concluded his tribute with "Robin Williams, what a concept."
