The win was a surprise and regarded by critics as "facing a uphill battle" in the category. It was also nominated in 15 other categories.
Now, after two huge wins for AMC series, the only thing audiences are left to ponder is whether or not the cable network will capitalize on its new TV show fame, try its hand at more series or not.
Jack of all trades
Josh Groban, who is mainly known for his classical style ballads such as, "You Raise Me Up," stunned and slightly confused audiences by his medley of television theme shows singing everything from the "men, men" bass line of "Two and a Half Men", to "Thank You For Being A Friend," from "Golden Girls."
Groban started out singing "The Simpson's" in his signature opera voice but then transitioned into a multi-genre performance that only a real musician could do. Jumping from singing the fast paced theme of "South Park" to the gospel "Movin' On Up" from "The Jeffersons".
If that wasn't enough, Groban pulled a trick out of his pocket and rapped the "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" theme song to close out. One thing's for sure from this performance, Groban's songs are sure to top the most downloaded on iTunes this week.
