Mad Men Emmy Predictions From the Press
Let the handicapping begin. Mad Men is up against some very strong shows for best drama: Boston Legal, Damages, Dexter, House and Lost. Newsday says the odds are in favor of Mad Men becoming the first basic-cable drama to walk away with the best drama Emmy; the New York Post favors Lost but adds Jon Hamm should win for lead actor. As for Mediaweek, that publication predicts Mad Men wins for best drama, outstanding lead actor, outstanding directing, and outstanding writing for the pilot "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes."
"A win by Mad Men or Hamm would help the Emmys do one of the things it does best: help to break new shows on the verge of bigger ratings," reports Broadcasting & Cable. Emmys for Mad Men would also be a coup for Lionsgate, the studio that produces the show in association with AMC, says Multichannel News.
This year's awards haven't even happened yet, but Variety is already writing that January Jones -- who wasn't nominated this year -- "probably clinched her spot in next year's Emmy competish" with her "fantastic work" in this season's "A Night to Remember."
