John Adams Swept the Golden Globes in the Made for TV Category Last Night!
- Best Mini-Series Or Motion Picture Made for Television

- Best Performance by an Actor in a Mini-Series or Motion Picture Made for Television, Paul Giamatti
- Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in a Series, Mini-Series or Motion Picture Made for Television, Tom Wilkinson
Last night when Tom Hanks stood to give his acceptance speech for Best
Mini-Series Made for Television, he thanked many and then stopped to
thank those who made it possible in Richmond, Virginia. Paul Giamatti
also made a point to thank the great state of Virginia. It goes to show
what a fantastic job the Virginia Film Office and Virginia Tourism
Corporation do to attract films and make film makers happy in Virginia.
John Adams, a seven-part miniseries that aired in 2008 on HBO, was
filmed in the Richmond area, Powhatan and Hanover counties and at
Colonial Williamsburg during the spring of 2007. The series was the
recipient of a grant from the Motion Picture Opportunity Fund and spent
more than $80 million in Virginia. Hundreds of Virginia-based crew
members and actors and thousands of extras were hired to work on the
project. An authentic colonial backlot that played Boston, New York,
Philadelphia and Washington, DC was built for the series and remains in
Virginia for use by other film productions.
In September 2008, John Adams won 13 Emmy® Awards, giving it the record for the most Emmys® ever awarded to a miniseries.
