Decided to go with the biggest logistical effort! Just the huge epic Battle of the Bastards!
I mean Mad Men wasn’t the showiest drama, but I wish it had at least won once. Maybe for Season 5, “The Other Woman.”
What a sad bunch of winners.

I threw a bone to Dexter. The Getaway was indeed a great episode, just before the series started to lose the plot.
I have to say it's cool though that all choices here have received a vote at the least.
It has more consistently great direction than any of the shows listed here. I'll remind everyone that Reverse Shot devoted a whole essay to Mad Men's visual aesthetic, and they rarely discuss TV outside stuff like Twin Peaks: The Return.
The Holy Trinity:
Satyajit, Sharmila, and Soumitra
Top three:
Game of Thrones - Battle of the Bastards
True Detective - Who Goes There
Boardwalk Empire - To the Lost
still cannot believe breaking bad never won here. though the final season had the misfortune of going up against david fincher and then true detective (which was a very good win in its own right)
Ditto
The Liver Bird soars
It may have been robbed at the Emmys for directing but its legacy clearly lives on.
Really hard choice between Battle of the Bastards and Who Goes There for me, but I'll pick the former.
