Last night the women of Mad Men attended the 2013 Women in Film Crystal & Lucy Awards at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles and received the 2013 Lucy Award for Excellence in Television. January Jones, Elisabeth Moss, Jessica Paré and Kiernan Shipka collected the award on behalf of the show and this is Moss’ second award of the week as she received the Critics’ Choice Award for Top of the Lake.
It has been a big week for Kiernan Shipka’s character Sally Draper as she caught Don sleeping with Sylvia, Shipka showed once again what a remarkable actress she is as she reacted with horror, repulsion and disbelief at her father’s actions. While this season has been light on the Sally appearances this is surely going to leave its mark on Don and damage their relationship for the time being. Shipka once again looks age appropriate in a black star patterned dress and this is another red carpet hit for her.
It’s rare that we get to see all four of these women in a scene together (possibly the only time is in one of my favorite episodes, season four’s “The Beautiful Girls”) but all of them have being doing great work this year on Mad Men with January Jones being the big surprise as Betty has been a highlight rather than a hindrance.
When they took to the stage Elisabeth Moss said “Mad Men has taken an unintentional political stance by simply treating women like human beings. Our show is a truly special and spirited place in Hollywood.”
