But when she approached the stage to accept her award for Outstanding Lead Actress in the Comedy Series, Cranston intercepted, locking lips with his former co-star in sitcom reunion that was full of ’90s nostalgia (and possibly some tongue). ### See the Best Red Carpet Moments From the 2014 Emmys  Christina Hendricks arrives at the 66th Primetime Emmy Awards at the Nokia Theatre L.A.
