Golden Globe for Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Drama winner Jon Hamm

MANILA, Philippines - Three seasons and three Golden Globe awards for Best Television Series Drama are no easy feats. But for critically-acclaimed show Mad Men, it is just one of the many recognitions they have collected during their time on air. Returning on April 29, 10 p.m. with the third season on 2nd Avenue is the ’60s drama Mad Men.

Sweeping award show after award show, Mad Men has won two Emmy Awards for Outstanding Drama Series, three Screen Actors Guild Awards for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series, writing awards and a Golden Globe for Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Drama for lead Jon Hamm.

Chronicling the life and times of an Ad agency in 1963, Mad Men delves into the ego-driven world of those working at the Sterling Cooper Advertising Agency headed by hot shot Don Draper (Jon).
