2008 Emmy Awards Announced
Paul Giamatti as John Adams (HBO)
With 23 nominations, including Paul Giamatti’s nod as Lead Actor in a Mini-Series, HBO’s JOHN ADAMS mini-series was the overall frontrunner in 2008’s Emmy Awards announcements.
In a new twist, 2 basic cable shows, MAD MEN and DAMAGES, also managed to achieve Best Series nominations, something basic cable programs had never managed to do until now.
