Despite his outward disenchantment and egotism, the character of Don Draper demonstrates a strict code of personal ethics, insisting on honesty and chivalry in his subordinates, but not always in himself. Mad Men returns to television with FX and FX HD from January 29th and will continue to air from Monday to Friday at 11:00 PM.

The singer-actress Lady Gaga won Best Actress in a Miniseries or Motion Picture for Television for her role in American Horror Story: Hotel.

The Crazy-ex girlfriend star Rachel Bloom grabbed the Golden Globe for best performance by an actress in a television series—musical or comedy. Bloom plays a successful Manhattan lawyer Rebecca Bunch who follows her high-school ex, Josh Chan, to the humdrum suburbs of California.
