It’s a Mad Mad,Mad  Men World Again Three Emmy 2010 Drama Winner

Welcome to a Mad New World.

Wins Best Drama for a Third Year in a Row

Set in 1960s New York, the sexy, stylized and provocative AMC drama Mad Men follows the lives of the ruthlessly competitive men and women of Madison Avenue advertising, an ego-driven world where key players make an art of the sell.

HOLLYWOOD,CA(HollywoodToday)8/29/2010–AMC’s Mad Men, winner of three consecutive Golden Globes and back-to-back-to- back  Emmys for Outstanding Drama Series, returns for a new season rife with possibilities. Last season stunned audiences with its cliffhanger finale, as Don Draper’s professional and personal lives unexpectedly imploded. This year, Jon Hamm and the rest of the breakout ensemble continue to captivate us as they grapple with an uncertain new reality. Welcome to a Mad New World.

The Premise: The series revolves around the conflicted world of Don Draper (Hamm), the biggest ad man (and ladies man) in the business, and his colleagues at the Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce Advertising Agency. As Don makes the plays in the boardroom and the bedroom, he struggles to stay a step ahead of the rapidly changing times and the young executives nipping at his heels. The series also depicts authentically the roles of men and women in this era while exploring the true human nature beneath the guise of 1960s traditional family values.

Matthew Weiner is the series creator and executive producer for the AMC drama Mad Men, now in its fourth season. Since its debut, the series has garnered back-to-back Emmy® Awards for Outstanding Drama Series; three consecutive Golden Globe® Awards for Best Television Drama Series; a Peabody Award; two Producers Guild Awards; three Writers Guild Awards; AFI Awards for one of the Top 10 Outstanding Television Programs of 2007, 2008 and 2009; the 2008 and 2009 BAFTA Award and 2008 Royal Television Society Award for International Program; and four Television Critics Association Awards, including Program of the Year. Weiner has won Emmys for Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series for the pilot and for the second season episode, “Meditations in an Emergency,” which he wrote with Kater Gordon. Additionally, he received nominations in the same category for the first season episode, “The Wheel,” which he wrote with Robin Veith, and the second season episodes “The Jet Set,” “A Night to Remember,” written with Robin Veith, and “Six Month Leave,” written with André and Maria Jacquemetton. He has also received Directors Guild nominations for his efforts behind the camera on “Meditations in an Emergency” in season two, and the season three finale, “Shut the Door. Have a Seat.”

Prior to Mad Men, Weiner served as an executive producer and writer on The Sopranos.
