JANE Campion's Top of the Lake ended on the bottom of the pile while Breaking Bad and Modern Family claimed the top gongs at the 65th Primetime Emmy Awards ceremony.
TV's grandest awards night didn't go to script, with plenty of surprise snubs and wins.
"Holy crap," a stunned Vince Gilligan, executive producer of Breaking Bad, said when his show about a teacher who uses his chemistry skills to make crystal meth, was announced outstanding TV drama series.
"I did not see this coming.
"I thought this was going to be House of Cards or it could have been Homeland or Mad Men or Downton Abbey or Game of Thrones."
While Breaking Bad was recently dubbed the greatest series on TV, it had suffered a rocky Emmy ceremony in the lead-up to the announcement of the drama series win, with the show's odds-on favourite to win lead actor in a drama, Bryan Cranston, beaten by The Newsroom's Jeff Daniels.
Another Breaking Bad favourite, supporting actor Aaron Paul, was overlooked in favour of Boardwalk Empire's Bobby Cannavale.
Cannavale's Aussie girlfriend, actress Rose Byrne, didn't mind, jumping up and down in her seat when the New Jersey-born actor was announced the winner.
On stage in downtown LA's Nokia Theatre, Cannavale ended his acceptance speech thanking the "love of my life, Rose".
Campion and her Top of the Lake cast and crew walked into the theatre with five potential Emmy Awards, but walked out empty handed.
The Liberace biopic Behind the Candelabra, starring Michael Douglas as the showman pianist and Matt Damon as his young lover Scott Thorson, proved to be a roadblock for the New Zealand-shot, Screen Australia partly funded Top of the Lake.
Behind the Candelabra won the outstanding mini-series or TV movie Emmy while its director, Steven Soderbergh, beat Campion for the directing prize.
Douglas won the lead actor in a mini-series or TV movie Emmy ahead of his co-star Damon.
"You deserve half of this," Douglas told Damon.
Campion was also up for a writing award, but that Emmy went to Abi Morgan for The Hour.
Top of the Lake's Peter Mullan was bypassed for the supporting actor in a mini-series or TV movie Emmy, with James Cromwell the winner for American Horror Story: Asylum.
Elisabeth Moss also missed out on the outstanding actress in a mini-series or TV movie Emmy for her performance as an Australian detective in New Zealand attempting to solve the disappearance of a pregnant girl. The Emmy went to Laura Linney for The Big C: Hereafter.
Moss was also nominated for her role in Mad Men, but Claire Danes for Homeland was named outstanding drama series lead actress.
Modern Family claimed its fourth consecutive comedy series Emmy while Julia Louis-Dreyfus won lead actress in a comedy series for Veep.
The Big Bang Theory's Jim Parsons was named winner of the lead actor in a comedy series.
