13014: Mad Men Mention.

Adweek reported Jon Hamm won a Golden Globe for best actor for his portrayal of Don Draper on AMC series Mad Men. The Black actors in the show were shut out from contention by being grossly underrepresented in the final season. As always, Mad Men perfectly reflected the modern advertising industry. Somebody give Hamm an ADCOLOR® Award too.

Mr. Robot, Mozart in the Jungle also honored

Mad Men might be done, but there are still a few more awards for the show—and star Jon Hamm—to add to its tally.

Tonight, Hamm won a Golden Globe for best actor in a drama, continuing the awards streak for his long run as Don Draper after taking home his first Emmy in September after being nominated seven previous times.

It was the second Globe that Hamm has won for the role, but it was the first time his win was televised. When Hamm took home his first Globe in 2008 for the show’s first season, there was no awards telecast because of the Writers Guild strike, which in essence shut down Hollywood for 100 days.

Finally getting to take the stage in front of a worldwide audience, Hamm thanked Mad Men creator Matt Weiner, “who wrote this horrible person all the way through to the end of the ride, and for picking me to play him.”

And, referencing the show’s already-iconic finale, Hamm jokingly added: “And thanks for not taking my suggestion and ending the entire series on Chumbawamba. You picked the right song.”

All told, Mad Men won five Golden Globes over its seven seasons—three awards for best drama and two for Hamm as best actor in a drama.

Speaking with reporters backstage, Hamm said he is still figuring out his post-Mad Men career plans.

Other Golden Globe Winners

Aside from Hamm’s win, the television-related picks were all over the map, which is typical for the eclectic and somewhat mysterious voting body.

The best musical/comedy award again went to Amazon, but for Mozart in the Jungle, not Transparent, which won last year. Mozart’s Gael Garcia Bernal won for best actor in a comedy or musical, beating Transparent’s Jeffrey Tambor.

USA Network’s Mr. Robot took home best drama, with Christian Slater winning for best supporting actor in a TV drama. Star Rami Malek, however, lost his chance at a best actor nod thanks to Hamm’s victory.

Rachel Bloom won best actress for her musical-comedy series Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, likely guaranteeing a second season for the critically acclaimed yet low-rated (just a 0.3 rating in the adults 18-49 demo) series, which CW president Mark Pedowitz pledged his support for earlier today.

And in a classic Golden Globes oddity, Lady Gaga won a best actress award for her role as the Countess on American Horror Story: Hotel.

12860: Emmy Exclusivity.

Adweek reported how the 67th Emmy Awards semi-mirrored the advertising industry. That is, a drunken White creative director grabbed the spotlight while a groundbreaking Black woman barely received backstage status. Perfect.

Jon Hamm Finally Wins an Emmy for Mad Men’s Don Draper

The eighth time was the charm for Jon Hamm.

The actor, who had been nominated for Emmys seven times previously—and gone winless—for his iconic role as Mad Men’s Don Draper, finally won the trophy Sunday night, in his eighth and final year of eligibility.

“There has been a terrible mistake, clearly,” said Hamm at the 67th Emmy Awards, as he accepted his award to a standing ovation.

Without the win, Hamm would have joined an esteemed-but-snubbed list of actors who had shockingly never won Emmys for their iconic TV roles, including Steve Carell (The Office), Hugh Laurie (House), Jason Alexander (Seinfeld) and Amy Poehler (whose Sunday night loss meant that she’ll never be recognized for Parks & Recreation).

While Mad Men lost outstanding drama series to Game of Thrones (more on that below), it was also the subject of a hilarious video package from host Andy Samberg. He spoofed Mad Men’s fantastic series finale—which strongly implied that Don Draper had dreamed up Coca-Cola’s famous 1971 “Hilltop” ad during an Esalen retreat—with his own take of the classic ad. But Samberg’s version, which changed the lyrics from “I’d Like to Buy the World a Coke” to “I’d Like the Buy the World an Emmy,” concluded with an unexpectedly violent twist: A man (played by Parks and Recreation’s Jim O’Heir) ends up stabbed by an Emmy trophy.

How to Get Away With Murder’s Viola Davis, who became the first African-American to win an Emmy for outstanding lead actress in a drama, took the industry to task for its dearth of roles for black women. “The only thing that separates women of color from anyone else is opportunity,” she said. “You cannot win an Emmy for roles that are simply not there.”

HBO’s Game of Thrones swept most of the drama categories. HBO had 14 wins in total on Sunday night, and 43 Emmys in all this year, including last week’s Creative Arts Emmys. The network’s comedy Veep also ended Modern Family’s five-year reign as outstanding comedy.

Samberg gave out a functioning HBO Now login and password, explaining that since CEO Richard Plepler said he didn’t have a problem with subscribers giving out their passwords, he would do the same.

Later on in the evening, as Twitter users began to report they were no longer able to log on, HBO Now suggested they sign up for their own accounts. The network did not respond to inquiries Sunday night as to whether they had advance knowledge of Samberg’s Emmy stunt, or how long that HBO Now account would remain active.

Comedy Central had four Emmy wins Sunday night (eight in all), including three for The Daily Show With Jon Stewart. Amazon also won its first two Primetime Emmys ever for Transparent—outstanding actor in a comedy series (Jeffrey Tambor) and directing (Jill Soloway)—to go along with the show’s three Creative Arts Emmy wins last week.

The telecast boasted several emotional moments, including a surprise appearance by Tracy Morgan, stepping out for one of the first times publicly since his near-fatal car accident in June 2014.
