Line 28:
Beckett and Johnson had previously worked together on the [[Breaking Bad season 3|season three]] episode "[[Fly (Breaking Bad)|Fly]]" and had a friendly working relationship that lasted throughout the production. Beckett was allowed greater creative freedom than she had experienced before. Due to the intensity of the episode's storyline, the production was emotionally difficult for those involved. The episode was subject to much analysis following its release. Focus was given to the episode's parallels to its [[namesake]], [[Percy Shelley]]'s "[[Ozymandias]]", its depiction of redemption, and Walt's ([[Bryan Cranston]]) phone call to Skyler ([[Anna Gunn]]).
"Ozymandias" has been universally acclaimed since its initial airing, and is widely considered to be ''Breaking Bad'''s finest episode. Critics praised its writing, acting, direction, and payoff of storylines set up since "[[Pilot (Breaking Bad)|Pilot]]", and it is considered to be one of the greatest episodes of television ever made. At the [[66th Primetime Emmy Awards]], Walley-Beckett won [[Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series|Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series]] for her teleplay; Cranston and Gunn won [[Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series|Lead Actor]] and [[Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series|Supporting Actress]] respectively for their performances in the episode, Cranston's fourth & Gunn's second win in the aforementioned categories. It is also the only episode to have an aggregate 10/10 rating on [[IMDb]].
