I agree, the awards don't mean shit (I suppose this is ironic, since I feel the exact opposite with world titles in wrestling), but when a show I think is the best wins one over a show I hate, I like to shove it in people's faces.
Boardwalk IS the better show, no contest. Watching Mad Men is like having your eyeballs raped.
As for Hamm, I can tell he's a good actor, but he needs to stop playing that piece of crap. Maybe I'd be up for him winning a Golden Globe if he was playing a character that could hold my attention for more than 1 second.
