I hope this is a sign of great things to come. Of course I am so proud of Gloria Ponce and glad she won, but I have great hopes for the prime time awards as well. I really hope that Jon Hamm is recognized for his outstanding performance by winning the Best Actor award. It goes without saying that I want us to win the biggie, Best Drama Series award, and that I want Slattery and Moss to win as well. Awards are important to the sponsors and the network as well as to the creative beings who earn them, and I am still fuming over Jon's loss to Bryan Cranston last year. GOOD LUCK to all cast and crew of Mad Men. Hands down the best show on TV, now or ever!
Congratulations Gloria! Don's hair is a character unto itself...
But seriously, my wife is a stylist and we both love seeing how you re-create the 60's in every episode. Wonderful work and congratulations on the recognition!!!
I think Man Men should have won in EVERY category they got a nomination (Art Direction, Casting, Cinematography, Costumes, Hairstyling, Makeup, Editing).
But maybe I'm biased!
