What does Breaking Bad and The Following have to do with Science Fiction, Fantasy or Horror? Or Les Miserables? Or did I miss something? Besides that everything else is pretty expectable, although I find it interesting that Doctor Who lost to Teen Wolf. Hobbit's loss is not surprising since we all know there will be two more and many are not happy about bloating it so. I'm not happy about Revolution because I find it extremely meh but next year has to belong to Orphan Black or someone will suffer. The saddest part was that Richard Matheson, who was supposed to attend died just few days before he was to get his award.
