Sherlock at the 2014 Emmys!

Ah, this is glorious. Sherlock: "His Last Vow" has won seven Emmys, including 3 Primetime ones and 4 creative ones. To put this into perspective, Sherlock won more awards than any other show (the runner-up was Breaking Bad). And Benedict finally gets an Emmy for this show, after being a three-time nominee for Sherlock. :)

Primetime:

Lead Actor in a TV Miniseries or Movie
Benedict Cumberbatch (one of the other nominees in this category was Martin Freeman for Fargo!)

Outstanding Supporting Actor in a TV Miniseries or Movie
Martin Freeman (yay!!!)

Outstanding Writing in a TV Miniseries or Movie
Steven Moffat (finally!)

Creative ones included: Outstanding Single-Camera Picture Editing for a Miniseries or Movie; Outstanding Sound Editing for a Miniseries, Movie, or Special; Outstanding Music Composition for a Miniseries, Movie, or Special; and Outstanding Cinematography for a Miniseries or Movie.

(The episode was also nominated for Outstanding TV Movie and Outstanding Directing in a TV Miniseries or Movie in the Primetimes.)

It's a crying shame the categories don't work for the entire show or series to be nominated and that it instead has to pick just one episode in the TV Movie Category. This is especially crazy because this one episode is occasionally nominated against entire series (like Fargo or Luther or American Horror Story: Coven). And I probably would have put "The Sign of Three" up instead of "His Last Vow" this year (especially since all three of the writers worked on it), but I think they just always submit Moffat's episode.

However, it's always nice when what I consider the best thing on television I have ever seen—a show that has brought me at this point years of joy and intrigue and speculation (I have read meta after meta and the onion still has more layers)—finally gets its due. Well done, team Sherlock.
