Uh, oh! Is Mad Men Screwing Up Its Emmy Hopes?

If Mad Men producers screw up and don't submit the PERFECT sample episode to Emmy judges, it won't be nominated for best drama series. The LA Times says they're blowing it by submitting the finale episode 'The Wheel' instead of the one that could nab them the nom -- the pilot ("Smoke Gets in Your Eyes"). Do you agree? Read more about this plus Jon Hamm's episode -- plus vote in the poll!

A big congratulations goes out to Alan Taylor, who won the Directors Guild award for the premiere episode "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes." In the pilot, he created a look that carried all the way through the first season. That's no small feat.
