Bryan Cranston won the Emmy Award for best guest actor in a comedy<\/a> for his role as Griffin Mill in The Studio at last weekend\u2019s Creative Arts Emmys, but he wasn\u2019t on hand to accept his prize.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday\u2019s Jimmy Kimmel Live! he revealed where he was and host Jimmy Kimmel gave him a chance to relive the awards experience.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was at a wedding in Minnesota,\u201d Cranston explained of why he wasn\u2019t at the ceremony that was held on Saturday, noting that he was \u201ccelebrating that\u201d because the nuptials had been \u201cplanned for a long time.\u201d<\/p>\n

He then revealed how he found out that he was the award. \u201cThe bride\u2019s mom \u2026 came over and said, \u2018You won,’\u201d Cranston recalled. \u201cAnd at first, I looked down at my plate and I said, \u2018Taking the most food?’\u201d After the bride\u2019s mother clarified that he won the Emmy, he admitted that the news \u201cleft my mind.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m thinking, if an Emmy Awards is not televised, did you really win?\u201d he asked Kimmel before the host told him to take a seat in the crowd so that he could announce him as the winner.<\/p>\n

Cranston sat between two audience members as Kimmel read off the nominees and winner. The actor then animatedly cheered and hugged a woman sitting next to him before he made his way to the stage to accept the award. Kimmel\u2019s sidekick Guillermo Rodriguez handed Cranston the trophy and he said, \u201cThis is like the real thing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cranston closed his eyes and said \u201cOK\u201d several times before he began, \u201cThe person I really need to say thank you \u2026\u201d However, he was cut off by the music before he could give an actual speech.<\/p>\n

The actor\u2019s latest Emmy for The Studio marks his seventh win. His first six awards were all for his role as Walter White on Breaking Bad, which aired on AMC from 2008 until 2013. Cranston beat out The Studio\u2018s Ron Howard, Martin Scorsese, Dave Franco and Anthony Mackie and The Bear\u2018s Jon Bernthal for the best guest actor in a comedy series award this year.<\/p>\n

Also during his appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Cranston opened up about playing a character who was tripping on mushrooms on The Studio. While Kimmel praised him for the convincing performance, Cranston admitted he never tried mushrooms before he filmed the Apple TV+ show.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo I\u2019m playing this character who is wiped out, and I had never had any experience in that,\u201d he said of taking the drug, admitting that he \u201cdidn\u2019t know how to behave.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cranston then asked co-stars Seth Rogen and Ike Barinholtz for advice on how to start taking mushrooms and he was advised to micro-dose. \u201cWe were in Las Vegas shooting this crazy show with Seth Rogen and we all decided to go to The Sphere to see the Grateful Dead. If God wasn\u2019t telling me to do microdosing, what was he telling me?\u201d he jokingly asked.<\/p>\n

He explained that both he and co-star Catherine O\u2019Hara were \u201cnervous\u201d to try mushrooms, though Barinholtz promised to take care of them. \u201cHe gave us these little thin, square chocolates,\u201d Cranston recalled, adding that he felt \u201cnothing\u201d after he took it. \u201cIt felt like maybe I took three sips of wine. It was nothing.\u201d<\/p>\n
