Paul Giamatti, Outstanding Lead in a Mini Series or Movie
John Adams' John Adams
John Adams won a whopping 13 Emmys this year, but star Paul Giamatti couldn’t be more surprised about his own win for lead actor in a mini-series. Already “not an optimist,” he says, “I was not expecting to win a thing. It was long, hard and I never shut up. It was just a lot to do. It was five movies in six months. I’ve never done television like that before. It was amazing.”
Giamatti is “astounded” by the record number of wins and he’s “glad to hear it. Angels in America is amazing. If this was equally amazing or even more so I couldn’t be happier.”
