Emmy Winners React! Anna Gunn Shrugs Off Haters, Jeff Daniels Explains His Mysterious Tweet, Claire Danes' 'Tiny' Problem And More

30 Rock
Writing, Comedy
Tina Fey, accepting with Tracey Wigfield, remembered 30 Rock as "a labor of love," saying, "Thankfully, our friends at NBC never tried to change the weird tone of the show. Even though it wasn't always the highest rated show, we're glad we were always able to make the show we wanted to make." Then, asked about a someday reunion special, Fey quipped, "It'll be an IMAX movie and it'll be one-minute long."

Jim Parsons, The Big Bang Theory
Lead Actor in a Comedy
On waiting to hear the winner's name called, Parsons said, "The closest thing I can compare it to is that feeling you have when you narrowly miss getting into a car accident. The adrenaline is so severe." As for how he plans to celebrate, "I'm not much of an afterparty [person]," he admitted. "I prefer to read in bed. That's because I'm 100."

Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Veep
Lead Actress in a Comedy
"I'm going to sleep with it," JLD said when asked where she will place her latest Emmy. Speaking of which, the oft-winning actress made clear that her latest grab of gold "means a ton because I've actually lost many more times than I've won. I've lost 10 times as a matter of fact. So it is delicious to win!"

Tony Hale, Veep
Supporting Actor in a Comedy
"This is nuts. I completely left my body. It's so surreal," Hale said of his first Emmy win in his first try. "I'm so thankful to be working, and to have this is completely mindblowing."

Merrit Wever, Nurse Jackie
Supporting Actress in a Comedy
"I'm scared because it was unexpected, so I don't know how to feel yet. I have therapy next week," Wever said of her telecast-opening win. Invited to expand on her so-brief speech, she said, "I wanted to thank everybody at Showtime. I wanted to thank most of all, Edie Falco... very badly. It's hard to do those [acceptance speeches]!"

The Voice
Reality Competition Program
On beating CBS' highly kudosed globe-trotting series, EP Mark Burnett said, "Considering everyone comes to me weekly and says, 'I love The Amazing Race, it feels pretty good to beat the show that I don't produce that people think I do." As for where the show's golden girl will show up next, he ventured, "I'm sure Blake Shelton will will be pulling out the Emmy in the next blind auditions [round] as he tries to convince everyone to join his team."

Anna Gunn, Breaking Bad
Supporting Actress in a Drama
With AMC's acclaimed drama ending next Sunday, Gunn remarked, "It's been the most remarkable ride to be on this show. I couldn't be more thrilled. I'm overwhelmed. And I'm extremely happy there are people out there who enjoy Skyler, as well." Even the haters she famously addressed in a New York Times op-ed piece? "What the Skyler haters do, they do," she shrugged. "It doesn't have anything to do with me."

Jeff Daniels, The Newsroom
Lead Actor in a Drama
On besting the likes of annual fave Bryan Cranston, Daniels said, "I've been nominated enough times to not hope too much.... I felt the work stood up to what the other guys were doing, but we're all doing different things. It's anybody's game." He then explained his tweet from a few weeks back, which unofficially announced his HBO series' Season 3 pick-up. "We're going to come back, we just don't know when yet. We're trying to work it out with [creator] Aaron [Sorkin's schedule]," he said. "I was about to do Leno and [HBO said], 'Absolutely say you're coming back. You just don't know when.' So that's what I tweeted."

Bobby Cannavale, Boardwalk Empire
Supporting Actor in a Drama
Upon hearing his name called, "It took me a while to get up. I didn't really believe it.... I was just shocked and I barely remember what happened on stage," he shared. His next stop: an infamous (and expensive!) apres-Emmy soiree. "If you win and you go to [Jon Hamm and Amy Poehler's] Losers' Party, you have to give [Jon] $1,000."

Dancing With the Stars, Derek Hough
Choreography
"This is very, very special," Hough said of his shiny trophy. "I'm speechless." In part because of his neighbor there in the audience. "I've watched every episode of Game of Thrones, and I was just sitting next to [Breathlessly] Khaleesi [aka Emilia Clarke], and it was very exciting."

The Colbert Report
Outstanding Variety Series
On breaking The Daily Show's winning streak, Colbert (whose staff also won for writing) made clear, "I'm second to none in my admiration and I believe that Jon [Stewart] deserved all those wins." That said, he smiled, "Winning best show is a lot of fun."

James Cromwell, American Horror Story: Asylum
Supporting Actor in a Miniseries/TV Movie
Cromwell — who won't be in the new Coven chapter — revealed that he not once saw show boss Ryan Murphy after his first reading for Asylum. "But obviously his talent and genius informed what we did," he noted. "It was a bloody-good show."

Claire Danes, Homeland
Lead Actress in a Drama
This year there's a wee wrinkle to Danes' after-Emmys plans. "We have a 'tiny person' [9-month-old son Cyrus] who's still on East Coast time, so he's going to be waking up pretty early," she shared. "That means our curfew is going to have to be earlier than it ever has been before!"

Michael Douglas, Behind the Candelabra
Lead Actor in a Miniseries/TV Movie
Douglas claims the naughtiness of his acceptance speech kinda sneaked up on him. "In acting, we have an expression about two-handers, [where] you're only as good as your partner — and I wouldn't be up on stage without Matt [Damon] and his performance and his commitment." Once he realized the entendre and saw the crowd's reaction, "The bottom and the top [joke] I thought about."

Modern Family
Outstanding Comedy Series
Show boss Steven Levitan (not pictured) said he and his cast are "beyond humbled" to join the ranks of sitcoms that have won four times. "For me personally, I grew up watching The Dick Van Dyke Show, and it's the reason I wanted to become a comedy writer. Cheers is one of my all-time favorite shows, and All in the Family, as well."

Breaking Bad
Outstanding Drama Series
"This is the answer to a wish and prayer of mine," series lead Bryan Cranston said of winning a week prior to the final episode. "I've been blessed in the past, and this show has been nominated in the past, but I what I wanted, we really got — to celebrate the entire [cast and crew]. What a way to go out!"
