M-NET SHOWS SCOOP COVETED AWARDS

No fewer than six M-net shows scoop awards at this year’s annual awards.

M-Net shows did not disappoint at this year's annual Golden Globe Awards®, which were held in Los Angeles on January 11 and screened on MM1 and M-Net respectively. After securing more than half of the nominations on offer, no fewer than six M-Net shows scooped awards.

The coveted awards for Best Drama Series and Best Comedy Series went to Mad Men and 30 Rock respectively. It was a big Golden Globe year for 30 Rock as Tina Fey also got the nod for Best Performance by an Actress in a Comedy Series while Alec Baldwin was also recognised with the award for Best Performance by an Actor in a Comedy Series.

There were also a number of first-time winners in the form of True Blood (Anna Paquin for Best Performance by an Actress in a Drama Series); In Treatment (Gabriel Byrne - Best Performance by an Actor in a Drama Series); John Adams (a total of four awards in the major categories); and Recount (Laura Dern for Best Performance by a Supporting Actress in a series).

All these shows are scheduled to be broadcast on M-Net Channels in the coming months - a feast of top-quality entertainment awaits subscribers!
