How Did Likely Emmy Nominee Jon Hamm REALLY Spend The Hours Before The Nominations Were Announced?
'I was asleep!' is the usual answer, but we know how Jon Hamm's night actually went.
Because so many of the Emmy nominees live in the Pacific time zone, where it was only around 5:40 AM at the time the nominees were announced today, when uninventive entertainment journalists inevitably ask them where they were when they heard they were nominated, many of them will say they were asleep, and for some of them, that will even be the truth.
Mad Men's Jon Hamm, however, is cool enough not to bother coming up with a story that makes him seem cooler, not to mention probably confident enough in the likelihood of a sixth consecutive nomination for his role as Don Draper not to stress too much about being in front of TV to see if Kate Mara or Aaron Paul read his name.
So how did Jon Hamm spend the hours leading up to the announcement? It probably went something like this.
