The EMMYS 2014 celebrated it’s fascination with Washington, D.C. by doling out winning roles and series to the actor and actresses that frequent the nation’s Capital. We pulled up some of those clips with Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Bryan Cranston, Tony Goldwyn and former EMMY winners Kevin Spacey and House of Cards. Hollywood on the Potomac was on the scene.

“Bryan Cranston is best known for his roles in the Fox sitcom Malcolm in the Middle and the drama series “Breaking Bad.” Cranston won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series three consecutive times for “Breaking Bad.”
He has a starring role in ARGO as the assistant deputy director of the CIA, Jack O’Donnell who is the boss to the agent (Ben Affleck). Jack O’Donnell puts in motion the making of a fake movie production to help six Americans escape from Iran during the hostage crisis. The movie is based on actual events, which adds to the drama.
Cranston talked to Hollywood on the Potomac about his feelings towards the government and media, before and after having been involved in the movie.”
Dateline: January 31st, 2013 – House of Cards
“It was a full on collision of Hollywood and politics for the DC premiere of House of Cards, the brand new political drama that airs Friday exclusively on Netflix.
The story follows cunning Rep. Francis Underwood, portrayed by Kevin Spacey who will stop at nothing to move up the ranks of the DC power elite.”
