For their freshman seasons, Mad Men and Breaking Bad have amassed a total of 20 Emmy Award nominations, making AMC the most nominated basic cable network this year. AMC General Manager and Executive Vice President Charlie Collier said, "This is a milestone moment for AMC. To be considered among the best on television by the Television Academy of Arts and Sciences for the network's original series, Mad Men and Breaking Bad, is a truly distinct honor."

Vying to be the first basic cable program ever to win for best series, Mad Men is up for 16 awards including Outstanding Drama Series where it will compete against Boston Legal, Damages, Dexter, House and Lost.  Show creator Matthew Weiner is nominated for outstanding writing for a drama series for two episodes, "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes" and "The Wheel."

Jon Hamm received a nod for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series (along with Bryan Cranston of AMC's Breaking Bad). The rest of the contenders in this category are Gabriel Byrne for In Treatment, Michael C. Hall for Dexter, Hugh Laurie for House and 2007 winner James Spader for Boston Legal.

Not to be outdone, John Slattery was nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actor In A Drama Series. The competition? Ted Danson and Zeljko Ivanek of Damages, Michael Emerson of Lost and William Shatner of Boston Legal. And Robert Morse garnered a nomination for outstanding guest actor in a drama series. He'll be up against Stanley Tucci in ER, Glynn Turman in In Treatment, Robin Williams in Law & Order: Special Victims Unit and Oliver Platt in Nip/Tuck.

The show is also up for Emmys for Outstanding Art Direction for a Single-camera Series, Outstanding Casting for a Drama Series, Outstanding Cinematography for a One-hour Series, Outstanding Costumes for a Series, Outstanding Directing for a Drama Series, Outstanding Hairstyling for a Single-camera Series, Outstanding Main Title Design, Outstanding Makeup for a Single-camera Series (non-prosthetic), Outstanding Prosthetic Makeup for a Series, Miniseries, Movie or a Special.

AMC's Collier went on to say, "We congratulate all the Mad Men nominees, including Matthew Weiner, Jon Hamm and John Slattery. The dedicated production team and the truly spectacular cast of actors on Mad Men have crafted a remarkable, unique work."
