HBO’s "John Adams" solidified its position as an Emmy frontrunner, converting eight of its 23 nominations to lead the way at the Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards.
The two most nominated series, AMC's critical darling "Mad Men" and NBC’s Emmy-winning "30 Rock" followed with four and three wins, respectively.
"John Adams’"s wins for casting, costumes, prosthetic makeup, visual effects, sound mixing, editing, cinematography and art direction gave HBO 16 overall nods to lead all networks, followed by ABC and PBS with nine apiece and CBS with eight.
There was a sense of deja vu at the ceremony held Saturday at the Emmys’ new home, the Nokia Theater.
For the second year in a row, Bravo's "Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List," topped the outstanding reality series category.
And for a second consecutive year, an obscenity-laced song from a late-night show won the original music and lyrics category. Last year,...
