Since I have a passionate love for television, every year I create my own version of the Emmy awards (where the nominations should replace the legit ones). In this blog series, I will post one category daily and review it. I'll announce my nominations and then my winner.

The sixteenth category is Lead Actor in a Drama Series. Before this year, I wasn't watching many prestigious dramas on television. I knew this had to be changed and the nominees I have is the result of me discovered great dramas on television.
My nominees are:
Jon Hamm as Don Draper – Mad Men
Freddie Highmore as Norman Bates - Bates Motel
Bob Odenkirk as Jimmy McGill – Better Call Saul
Timothy Olyphant as Raylan Givens – Justified
Matthew Rhys as Philip Jennings – The Americans
Aden Young as Daniel Holden – Rectify
And the winner is...

Jon Hamm as Don Draper from Mad Men! I don't know what to say other than Don Draper is one of the most iconic characters on television. He is the classic anti-hero type. Jon Hamm's influential performance has led to many more anti-heroes on television. I would only classify one or two people on this list as an actual hero. Also, his work on this season of Mad Men was brilliant (although I mean all of it should have aired LAST year but AMC wanted to space it out because of Breaking Bad's high level of Emmy buzz). Hamm is a truly great actor and he can do it all.
