Breaking Bad star Bryan Cranston has hinted at a "sad", "ugly" ending for the acclaimed drama.

The Emmy winner attended last night's (February 24) Oscars in support of his film Argo but took time to discuss the climax of his AMC series with The AP.

"There's nothing good, there's not going to be redemption," Cranston said of his character - chemistry teacher-turned-meth cook Walter White.

"It's going downhill - it's ugly."

Argo scooped three trophies at the 2013 Academy Awards, winning in the 'Best Picture', 'Best Adapted Screenplay' and 'Best Editing' categories.

Breaking Bad will return to AMC for its final eight episodes this summer - series creator Vince Gilligan previously told Digital Spy that he expects the show's finale to be divisive.

"I think it will be [satisfying] for a large majority of viewers, and that is certainly our intention, but when you make an investment in a television show, you tend to have a proprietary feeling towards it," he said.

"I will say, at the end of the day, we're gonna do our damnedest to make this thing end with a blast and end on a high note, in a way that will satisfy everyone but I think as we all know - there is no satisfying everyone! But we'll do our best."

Cranston is currently developing new TV projects with Sony Pictures Television.
