We received some DVDs of the Creative Arts Emmy Awards show from John Rizzo the other day. John is the head of makeup for HBO Deadwood and won an Emmy along with Janie Bryant for costumes, Maria Caso for art direction, Carol Pershing for hairstyling, and James Glennon for cinematography. I'll be pulling some audio from the discs so you can hear the HBO recipients accepting their awards. But the real Deadwood won too! Production Designer Maria Caso and Michael Kelley, Assistant Art Director, arranged for my wife Mary Kopco and the Adams Museum to receive a commendation from the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences "for contributing to the Emmy Award-winning achievement: Outstanding Art Direction for a Single-Camera Series" for Episodes 4, 5, and 8 of the second season. It's quite a well-deserved honor for all the hard work the Adams Museum does providing research of all kinds to HBO to assure the historical accuracy of the show.
