12 Biggest Emmy Snubs and Surprises of All Time5 of 12
5. Jon Hamm
There was no doubt in TV critics' minds that 2011 was the year that Jon Hamm was going to win the Emmy for his performance as Don Draper on "Mad Men." Bryan Cranston, who had been his major competition for his role as Walter White in "Breaking Bad," wasn't eligible that year, and "Mad Men" creator Matt Weiner had written scripts that gave Hamm multiple tour de force scenes. So, it was a shocker when "Friday Night Lights" star Kyle Chandler intercepted what had been predicted to be Hamm's Emmy. Hamm finally took home the golden statuette in 2015.
