AND NONE FOR MAD MEN BYE



'Mad Men' breaks the wrong kind of Emmy record

Mad Men set the record for losingest series ever at the Emmys last night, losing in all seventeen categories in which it was nominated. (That tops Northern Exposure and The Larry Sanders Show, which both went 0 and 16 at one point in their respective runs.) Considering the place Mad Men occupies in pop consciousness — not to mention in our hearts — we're pretty sure the sudden Emmy drought doesn't affect the show's prestige, but ... ouch. Let the backlash to the backlash begin.

I will never NOT laugh at a "And none for Gretchen Weiners" reference.

This. And the way it's said by Damien too.
wheezy_wazlib 24th-Sep-2012 03:47 pm (UTC)
I didn't really like this season as a whole, but I think they deserved their acting nominations.

Jared Harris was robbed!!!
keziah42 24th-Sep-2012 04:22 pm (UTC)
Nope. Aaron Paul deserved that Emmy.
flyingpigs_live 24th-Sep-2012 04:41 pm (UTC)
Giancarlo though.

I BLAME MEGADON! AND CHRISTINA SHOULD TOO! *sniff*
sarahvma 24th-Sep-2012 05:45 pm (UTC)
lbr, last season was the worst season ever. I mean, it was still a 7/10, but it wasn't up to par.
elcristina 25th-Sep-2012 06:58 pm (UTC)
fourth season was the worst for me
elcristina 25th-Sep-2012 06:57 pm (UTC)
I blame Megan. I can't stand her.

still not over lane ;_;

smelltheflowers 24th-Sep-2012 03:51 pm (UTC)
Jared Harris and Christina Hendricks were robbed.
warsawed 24th-Sep-2012 04:04 pm (UTC)
I love me some Jared Harris but that category belonged to Breaking Bad sry
smelltheflowers 24th-Sep-2012 04:12 pm (UTC)
I respectfully disagree :)
peacetrains 24th-Sep-2012 04:22 pm (UTC)
Yeah, that category was fucking stacked though. All of them were great.

just Christina tbh. i liked Jared, but there was no way he would have won against the two BB actors.
baglady25 24th-Sep-2012 05:36 pm (UTC)
Jared didn't stand a chance, unfortunately :( Same with Christina :( But IA with you
xcollsangelx 24th-Sep-2012 06:16 pm (UTC)
Amen

elcristina 25th-Sep-2012 07:03 pm (UTC)
I agree about Christina^^
robertsbox_xo 24th-Sep-2012 03:51 pm (UTC)
christina hendricks should have won

and still not over jon fucking cryer winning

and all the modern family bullshit

this.
fwee_prower 24th-Sep-2012 03:53 pm (UTC)
thats cuz there were other better series.
ilouboutin 24th-Sep-2012 03:53 pm (UTC)
in all seriousness, i read quite a few times that Christina Hendricks was the favorite to win. season 5 was hers and i'm shocked she didn't win. and i still don't understand how vincent wasn't even nominated. i knew that elisabeth, jared and jon didn't have a chance in hell but the whole MM shut out was deserved. they've got two more seasons to go and i don't see it racking up awards like it used to. and i don't see jon hamm ever winning another award for don draper. matt weiner probably tried to jump out a window last night.
enid_keaner 24th-Sep-2012 03:54 pm (UTC)
I was so shocked when Christina didn't win. I thought she had that thing locked.
ilouboutin 24th-Sep-2012 03:56 pm (UTC)
same here! everything i read had her as a lock. i can't speak on maggie smith because i don't watch DA but seriously. SERIOUSLY? christina carried season 5 and i just can't. i'm still not processing this.
enema_recipe 24th-Sep-2012 03:56 pm (UTC)
Don Draper is just not a very interesting or compelling character at this point, and I think Jon Hamm is so much better at comedy acting in general.
sweet_honesty 24th-Sep-2012 04:32 pm (UTC)
I just don't think last season even deserved any awards. Besides Joan's story, it was just dull
flyingpigs_live 24th-Sep-2012 05:30 pm (UTC)
i'm 99% sure she would have won if Maggie Smith wasn't nominated.
paranoiattaque 24th-Sep-2012 06:06 pm (UTC)
i was legitimately shocked that christina hendricks didn't win. she was fucking superb this season.
enid_keaner 24th-Sep-2012 03:53 pm (UTC)
The only loss I'm really heartbroken over is Christina's tbh. I love the show and I love it hard, but last season was not the best. It was good but not as great as it can be and has been. The writing's been better, Jon's been better, Elisabeth has been better (though part of this is because Peggy didn't exactly have much to do or the best material), etc.
paranoiattaque 24th-Sep-2012 06:11 pm (UTC)
yeah, i'm sad they didn't win anything, but at the same time there wasn't a whole lot going on acting-wise (minus jared and christina who were both AMAZING) this season. i really liked this season a whole lot, but the overall feeling is "meh" from people i guess.
emmy0001 24th-Sep-2012 03:53 pm (UTC)
jared harris was definitely robbed :( poor lane :(

ladybozi 24th-Sep-2012 06:12 pm (UTC)
Only people I have met who watch 2 and half men were old couples... I used to work at Best Buy and those are seriously the only people who came in raving about the show.

Parks and Recreation ... should have won everything!

that's the only logic i can come up with.
screwhim 24th-Sep-2012 03:53 pm (UTC)
I genuinely thought Christina Hendricks had this in the bag. But clearly the Emmys still think it's 2009 and people care about Modern Family.

Stupid stupid stupid. And with the comedy competition what it was - Two and a Half Men and fucking Modern Family? I am just so infuriated. These people wouldn't know funny if it punched their mother.
bibbysbaby 24th-Sep-2012 04:07 pm (UTC)
your first sentence is so confusing. blaming MF for Christina losing? they are in different genres.
screwhim 24th-Sep-2012 04:09 pm (UTC)
it was just my feeling toward the whole show that everything is predictable

Me too. I'm sure Jessica Pare is a lovely person, but Weiner's obsession with that character has got to stop.
