HOLLYWOOD, CA (Hollywood Today) 09/20/09 – As expected, AMC’s “Mad Men” won the Emmy for outstanding drama series for the second consecutive year. The series, based on the fictional Sterling Cooper advertising agency on Madison Avenue in the 1960’s, has received critical acclaim since premiering on July 19, 2007 for its historical authenticity and visual style. Creator and producer Matthew Weiner, who earned an Emmy earlier in the night for best writing in a drama series, couldn’t believe the victory. “What an incredible year. The election, and then this?” Mr. Weiner remarked, “We worked really hard to not have it stink the second year.”
