Whenever we write about the best shows on TV we always make sure to mention Breaking Bad, AMC's remarkable show about a high school chemistry teacher turned meth cooker/dealer. In fact, I love the show so much that every time I'm at the Television Critics Association Press Tour, I corner Vince Gilligan, the show's creator and ask him when Bb might finally have a gay character.

On Sunday night's episode we got that character. Maybe. Or maybe not. It depends on how you interpret it.

The character in question is Gus Fring (Giancarlo Esposito), the brains behind the drug operation for which Walt White (Bryan Cranston) does all of the meth cooking.

In this flashback scene, we see Gus years before he became the cold, calculating, utterly ruthless man we know from the show. Indeed, the scene seems intended to show us just why Gus is so hard.

"The Social Network" editors, Angus Wall and Kirk Baxter, won the Ace Eddie Award for Best Edited Dramatic Feature at the 61st Annual Ace Eddie Awards. The David Fincher film beat "Black Swan," "The Fighter," "Inception," and "The King's Speech." We'll see if "The Social Network" will beat those movies (except for "Inception" which was not nominated in favor of "127 Hours") at the upcoming 83rd Academy Awards.

In the feature category for Musical or Comedy, Chris Lebenzon of "Alice in Wonderland" took home the trophy, winning over "Easy A," "The Kids Are All Right," "Made in Dagenham," and "Scott Pilgrim vs. The World."

In the Best Edited Animated Featuer Film category, surprise, surprise, "Toy Story 3" won over "How to Train Your Dragon" and "Despicable Me."

Tom Fulford & Chris King of "Exit Through the Gift Shop" won for Best Edited Documentary beating "Inside Job" and "Waiting for Superman."
