  • 30 Rock, John Adams Have Another Big Night as SAG Awards Heat Up Oscar Race | Today's News: Our Take | 1/25/2009
    Tina Fey's 30 Rock and HBO's John Adams swept their categories at the Screen Actors Guild Awards to continue their hot streaks as actors took a break from their focus on a possible strike to celebrate their best work of the last year. 30 Rock won best female actor for a comedy series for Fey, best male actor in a comedy series for Alec Baldwin, and best ensemble in a comedy series. SAG has been locked in a contract dispute with producers for months, and Fey took a jab at studios as she noted that her daughter would someday be old enough to watch 30 Rock on the Internet. read more 52 Comments
  • Golden Globes Bring Huge Wins for John Adams, 30 Rock, Slumdog, Winslet | Today's News: Our Take | 1/11/2009
    At one point during Sunday's Golden Globes, things looked very dark for anyone not on HBO: Led by John Adams, the network swept all the early TV awards. Finally, halfway into the night, a loss for the cable giant: Alec Baldwin won best comedic actor for 30 Rock, which went on to win best comedy and best comedic actress for Tina Fey.

  • The Emmys: History New and Old | Matt Roush | 9/22/2008
    The 60th annual Emmy Awards set out to honor TV history and ended up making a little of its own. As expected, AMC's stylishly adult 60s-era drama Mad Men took home the best drama prize, the first ever for a basic cable series. The upstart channel delivered a much more shocking triumph in Bryan Cranston's surprise (but well-earned) win for Breaking Bad. "She's bald, too," marveled the actor, who shaved his head to play Walter White, a cancer-ravaged teacher-turned-meth dealer. Best known for outrageous comedy roles like the dad in Malcolm in the Middle, Cranston is a well-liked star who was considered an underdog in a strong field that included fellow AMC leading man Jon Hamm of Mad Men, House's Hugh Laurie (amazingly, still empty-handed), Dexter's brilliant Michael C. Hall, In Treatment's brooding Gabriel Byrne and Boston Legal's showboating James Spader.
