Breaking Bad star Aaron Paul took home his second Emmy for best supporting actor in a drama series Sunday, and his win over Giancarlo Esposito left him emotional.
STORY: Complete Emmys Winners List
After defeating Esposito, the actor told reporters: “I cried in his arms; I said, ‘This doesn’t make sense to me that I’m on this stage and you’re not.’”
It was Esposito’s first nomination after playing the terrifying meth mogul Gustavo Fring on the series for three seasons.

During his acceptance speech, Paul thanked series creator Vince Gilligan as well as the AMC drama’s writers for not killing him off, which had originally been the plan during the show’s early days.
Paul’s was the evening’s only win for Breaking Bad, which saw costar Bryan Cranston fail to win a fourth lead drama actor award for playing Walter White. Homeland’s Damian Lewis took home honors in that category.
