I don't think any of those clips were from episodes late in the season. I'm thinking they were from episode 2-4.

It's a good episode for Cranston, but it's not as good as some of his submissions in the past. And next year will have an onslaught of new competitors.

Actually, 2014 will be the last year Breaking Bad competes at the Emmys. And I doubt Cranston will win next year. He doesn't have a great episode to submit.
