"Mad Men" Wins Three Emmys!

The 2009 Primetime Emmy Awards have come and gone and for the 3rd straight year AMC's critically acclaimed Mad Men won Outstanding Drama Series in the last award of the night. What an ending!

It wasn't a major sweep as the show was nominated for 16 Emmy's for the 2nd year in a row but only managed to walk away with three statues. Besides Outstanding Drama the show won the following:

Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series

"Meditations in an Emergency"

Kater Gordon, Writer

Matthew Weiner, Writer

And at last weeks un-televised Creative Arts Emmy ceremony it won:

Outstanding Hairstyling For A Single-Camera Series

Mad Men • The Gold Violin • AMC • Lionsgate Television

Gloria Ponce, Department Head Hairstylist

Katherine Rees, Key Hairstylist

Marilyn Phillips, Additional Hairstylist

Michele Payne, Additional Hairstylist

Sadly, John Slattery was beaten by Jon Cryer and Elizabeth Moss was bested by the powerhouse that is Glenn Close. The show just wrapped the 13th episode season finale so I'm sure that the AMC party will last all night.

Congratulations to all the cast and crew for an amazing showing and let's hope that next year January Jones and Christina Hendricks get nominations!
