HBO's "True Detective" also went home a winner, scoring the prize for best miniseries, while Matthew McConaughey was honored for his acting work. The show will compete against "Breaking Bad" for outstanding drama series at the Emmy Awards next month.

Netflix's "Orange is the New Black" won the award for outstanding new program, and HBO's "Veep" tied with FX's "Louie" for the top comedy prize. CBS' "The Good Wife," which was shut out of this year's Emmys race, won the award for best drama.
