Mad Men won the Golden Globe Sunday night for Best Television Series (Drama), beating out HBO's Big Love, FX Network's Damages, ABC's Grey's Anatomy, FOX's House, and Showtime's miniseries The Tudors in the process. Also victorious was Jon Hamm who won a Golden Globe for Best Actor (Drama).
Mad Men's series creator Matthew Weiner reflects upon the win after the jump.
It’s an amazing experience to have an idea that you can barely put into words and then push through writing it, push five years up a hill to sell it, and then see it blossom into something better than you dreamed.
None of this happens without supportive representatives, intelligent executives and gifted artists in every position on the show. We are all extremely grateful to the Hollywood Foreign Press in what was a truly notable year in television.
AMC General Manager and Executive Vice President shared the sentiment noting,
Congratulations and thanks to Matthew Weiner for creating and writing such an outstanding series, and to Jon Hamm for bringing Don Draper to life in such a compelling way. We’re incredibly proud of Mad Men and of the critical acclaim it’s received, and want to extend our thanks and congratulations to the entire team that helped make the series such a success.
This is a truly momentous event for our network and a solid affirmation of our programming strategy of creating high-quality, scripted content that stands side-by-side with our extensive library of the best films of all time.
