Mad Men keeps its Emmy streak alive

Last night’s Emmy awards largely belonged to newcomers, but Mad Men captured the best drama award for the third straight year.

The critics' love affair with ad agency period piece Mad Men continued at the Emmys last night, when the show won its third award for best drama in as many years. It’s won the coveted award every year that it’s aired. Popular high school musical series Glee came into the night with a whopping 19 nominations, but made good on only two of them. Modern Family, a rookie ABC comedy about a gay father and his children, was the evening’s big winner, netting best comedy series and four other awards for its debut season.
