You win some, you loose some. In somewhat of a surprise, outsider Daniel Rigby, beat off Benedict Cumberbatch’s modern reinvention of Sherlock Holmes in Sherlock as well as audience favorite Matt Smith, (the first Doctor Who lead to be nominated for the award), to take home the award for Eric & Ernie, a biopic about British comedians Eric Morecambe and Ernie Wise.
Best supporting actor went to Sherlock Holmes co-star Martin Freeman, who played Dr. Watson, while the Steven Moffat-penned drama was also named best drama series.
