Have at it! The red carpet is happening right now on E, and Emily Blunt was just asked who she’d like to see win in say, best ensemble, and her answer was, “Mad Men, Mad Men, Mad Men. Is it wrong to say?”
Basket of Kisses: The unofficial blog of AMC's Mad Men. Where all the cool kids meet & greet to talk about Don Draper, Janie Bryant, Christina Hendricks, Jon Hamm, Matthew Weiner, & subtexty things.Columnist Froma Harrop talks about the series appeal viewed through today’s society and values
Scholar Jason Mitchell thoughtfully presents his reasons for disliking Mad Men (even though he’s dead wrong; plus, he’s a fan of the sci-fi Christian melodrama Lost).
Is Danny a young Matt Weiner?
High praise for Elisabeth Moss’s lovely gown
Shockingly, the Fug Girls like what January wore to the Emmys.

Christina is so beautiful.
January 25th, 2009 at 5:01 pm
So is January!
January 25th, 2009 at 5:05 pm
Here's CH.
January 25th, 2009 at 5:09 pm
RS cleans up nice! And here's VK, looking hip.
January 25th, 2009 at 5:11 pm
And lookey Jon Hamm presenting! He is so awesomely cute and funny.
January 25th, 2009 at 5:18 pm
Here's JJ
January 25th, 2009 at 5:18 pm
Hope he gets to make the speech he's been jonesing to do since 2008 GG!
January 25th, 2009 at 5:18 pm
JH made that bit funnier than it was. Timing.
January 25th, 2009 at 5:20 pm
Like the JJ "natural" look. Thanks Karl!
January 25th, 2009 at 5:22 pm
JH could make the telephone book funny. And yes, I would probably pay to watch him read it.
January 25th, 2009 at 5:27 pm
Hey, looks like 30 Rock is winning a lot of awards. Who knew?
Krakowski snarks McBrayer!
Also, When I posted that JJ pic, I meant to add, "That's some face!"

I love Winslet, but if she keeps giving speeches where she says she doesn't know what to say, then runs on and on, it will hurt her for an Oscar.
January 25th, 2009 at 5:39 pm
Slattery mugs on Hamm's spotlight! LOL!
January 25th, 2009 at 5:40 pm
Aw, crap.
January 25th, 2009 at 5:42 pm
At least it wasn't James Spader.
Can anyone name another actor on that show?
January 25th, 2009 at 5:42 pm
Laurie redeems himself with a funny speech.
January 25th, 2009 at 5:43 pm
seagirl,
William Shatner. An actor, technically speaking.
January 25th, 2009 at 5:45 pm
Sally Field? Fuck that noise.
January 25th, 2009 at 5:45 pm
Double crap. A lifetime achievement for Sally Field.
January 25th, 2009 at 5:46 pm
Crap I knew it…the show better win! I'm glad to see Liz, for a second I thought she had to stay behind in NY, I missed her on the red carpet.
January 25th, 2009 at 5:48 pm
Our girl Gidget has grown up into a world-class shrew. I was ready for her to lapse into "You Like Me!" one more time.
Karl, sorry, I meant "House" as far as the cast. Laurie is hard to quibble as he IS the show. LOL about Shatner, that would have been hard to take.
January 25th, 2009 at 5:52 pm
YES!!
January 25th, 2009 at 5:52 pm
BB gets caught like a deer in headlights, told by someone (Roh Howard?) to head on up!
January 25th, 2009 at 5:54 pm
Robert and Sally! That was awesome.
January 25th, 2009 at 5:54 pm
Kieran spotlighted, by both JH and VK. JH funny again. Shout out to MW. Excellent.
January 25th, 2009 at 5:55 pm
I didn't expect the kid actors to show up! That was cute. Did anyone catch William Shatner's face? He looked a little sour at the MM win…just sayin'…LOL
January 25th, 2009 at 5:56 pm
Kieran =Kiernan
January 25th, 2009 at 5:57 pm
MMarrrrvelous! Great to see Mark Moses up there too.
January 25th, 2009 at 5:59 pm
Well, if Jon didn't win I'm glad it went to Hugh Laurie. He's great too. Sally Field was a disappointment. Loved seeing everyone on stage, especially the littlies.
January 25th, 2009 at 6:21 pm
I have pics of the win in the win thread.
January 25th, 2009 at 6:23 pm
And I deleted the wrong picture of EM and all the comments discussing it. Just so you know. James Earl Jones isn't the only one who can play God.
January 25th, 2009 at 6:28 pm
If only there was someone else erasing my offline embarrassments.
January 25th, 2009 at 6:28 pm
Sorry about that Roberta, hope I did not say anything wrong about EM.
January 25th, 2009 at 6:33 pm
Mike I don't know what you're talking about. Karl accidentally posted an outdated picture, and I just got rid of it, and all the discussion around it.
Except for how now there's twice as much discussion about it
A girl can only do so much.
January 25th, 2009 at 6:36 pm
Roberta, I just mentioned to Karl that the photo was outdated from last year and I thought I had done something wrong when you deleted it. But thank you for letting me know that it was not anything I did wrong. I love this website alot and I always try to obey the rules on the site. Mike.
January 25th, 2009 at 6:57 pm
I am so, so happy about Sean Penn.
January 25th, 2009 at 7:06 pm
I'm still rooting for Mickey Rourke at the Oscars.

Backstage at the Screen Actors Guild Awards
Boys' club
Very much in keeping with the mucho macho, "bros before hos" tenor of their '60s-set show, the men of "Mad Men" reached the interview room in advance of their female counterparts. Asked by a member of the press where the "girls" were, Jon Hamm replied that January Jones, Elizabeth Moss and Christina Hendricks were getting their photos taken. But a moment later, he came up with a snappier answer.
"They're not allowed on stage," Hamm said.
"They're making sandwiches," added Vincent Kartheiser.
Bryan Batt chimed in too: "They're getting ice for our drinks."

Wow, the red dress on CH is stunning!
I enjoy seeing them interviewed because they're funny and seem to be good friends.

Emily Blunt was also in The Devil Wears Prada and is probably friends with Rich Sommer. Got her hooked early.
January 26th, 2009 at 8:16 am
*sigh* I missed the whole thing. Sometimes families are *so* annoying, and I forgot to set my DVR. I’m thrilled the show won Best Ensemble (not a surprise) but I was hoping some of the individual performances would be rewarded as well. But hey, there’s always next year!
January 26th, 2009 at 9:43 am
I was disappointed about Jon Hamm — I do think Hugh Laurie is very talented but I stopped watching House — I kept thinking I had all those rare diseases House diagnoses! Anyway I was very pleased about the ensemble win for MM. They all looked fab!
Is Kate Winslet the only British actor is the world who doesn’t know how to make a coherent acceptance speech? I like her very much as an actress but she needs to practice speaking before live audiences.
I was delighted Emily Blunt (another favorite) mentioned MM on the red carpet. The girl has taste.

Virginia, House is not as good as it used to be, but Laurie did some of his finest work this year.
January 30th, 2009 at 7:24 am
I can never argue with an award for Hugh Laurie, he is so talented and versatile — seen him on Black Adder for instance or in Sense and Sensibility or as Bertie Wooster? He can play the piano and sing. His American accent is flawless. He's a great guy, I was just hoping Jon Hamm would win.
