The fate of Mad Men has been allegedly sealed by AMC, but creator Matthew Weiner says he’s uncertain about the show’s future, which he calls “unknowable.”
“I don’t know anything about next season — I don’t even know if it’s happening,” Weiner told E! News at the Emmys. “I don’t even know what to tell you. I don’t know what to say … I’ve done everything I can. That’s all I can tell you.”
While Weiner has yet to sign on the dotted line, the show will be coming back with the actors. But they’re not all happy-go-lucky about going at it alone without Weiner.
Christina Hendricks, who plays sexy office manager Joan Holloway, said, “There is no show without Matthew.”

After watching the 66th Annual Golden Globe Awards, Blindie couldn’t help but to smile as one of our favorite actresses Kate Winslet took home two acting awards; Slumdog Millionaire swept their nominated categories; and Bruno’s Sacha Baron Cohen made some inappropriate jokes at the expense of Posh and Madge.
Here are Blindie’s top five moments from the Golden Globe awards:
The awe-inspiring Tina Fey winning for Best TV Comedic Actress for 30 Rock and using her acceptance speech to call out her Internet haters. And Tracy Morgan accepting the Best TV Comedy award on Tina Fey’s behalf because they had a bet that if Barack Obama won, he’d be the face of the show during awards season.
Kate Winslet winning two awards for Best Supporting and Lead Actress in The Reader and Revolutionary Road–and forgetting Angelina Jolie’s name during her speech!
Sacha Baron Cohen saying celebrities are being frugal in the recession; ie: Victoria Beckham NOT eating for three weeks, Charlie Sheen not paying for sex, and Madonna dropping one of her personal assistants, Guy Ritchie!
Gossip Girl’s Blake Lively inviting co-presenter, The Office’s Rainn Wilson, onto GG for a part as a man–or a woman!
Ga ga worthy Slumdog Millionaire taking home Best Drama, Best Director, screenplay and musical score. As well as Mad Men winning Best TV Drama, True Blood’s Anna Paquin winning Best TV Actress, and Vicky Cristina Barcelona winning Best Motion Picture Comedy!
Read the full list of Golden Globe winners.

Mad Men star January Jones leaves her 1960s hoop skirts and crinoline behind for lingerie in a sultry spread in the February 2009 issue of Vanity Fair.
The blonde beauty, who plays Betty Draper–wife of ad exec Don Draper (played by Jon Hamm)–is dubbed the Emmy-winning show’s “Hitchcockian Housewife.”
Proving herself as more than just Don’s trophy wife, she’s stolen our heart with her heartbreaking performance during the series’s stellar sophomore season, where after enduring her husband’s many mistresses and raising his two children, she has her own fling.
“She’s a mystery to me,” Jones, a former Abercrombie & Fitch model and Ashton Kutcher ex, told the magazine of her tortured character. The 30-year-old actress is also up for a Golden Globe award.

There’s only a handful of shows that feature remarkably complex women enduring and reaching for the stars in a man’s world. And this year’s breakout show is definitely AMC’s Mad Men.
Entertainment Weekly gives props to the three lead actresses in the 1960s-era, Emmy-winning show: Christina Hendricks who plays sex pot office manager Joan; Elisabeth Moss who plays secretary-turned-copy editor Peggy; and January Jones who plays vengeful housewife Betty Draper.
“I love that I get to represent these powerful, smart women from the ’60s who tried to break through the glass ceiling,” Moss, 26, who is up for a Golden Globe and SAG award, tells EW.
While Jones, 30, who is up for a Golden Globe, said, “The episode where Betty finally kicked Don out of the house, the response I got from friends and family was ridiculous!”
