"Mildred Pierce" dominates 63rd Emmy Awards nomina

 　　LOS ANGELES, July 14 (Xinhua) -- HBO's miniseries "Mildred Pierce" on Thursday dominated the nomination¹ for the 63rd Primetime Emmy Awards with 21 nods.

　　"Mad Men," a recurrent recipient² of the industry's premiere honor, was second with 19.

　　A five-part miniseries that first aired on HBO in late March, 2011, "Mildred Pierce," starring Kate Winslet in the title role, was nominated for best miniseries or made-for-television movie, along with "Downton Abbey," "The Kennedys," "Cinema Verite," "Too Big to Fail" and "The Pillars of the Earth."

　　Kate Winslet was nominated as best actress in a miniseries or television movie for her lead role in the series. Other nominees³ include: Elizabeth McGovern for "Downton Abbey," Diane Lane for " Cinema Verite," Taraji P. Henson for "Taken from Me: The Tiffany Rubin Story" and Jean Marsh⁴ for "Upstairs Downstairs."

　　Three performers, Evan Rachel Wood, Melissa Leo and Mare⁵ Winningham from "Mildred Pierce" also earned supporting-actress nominations⁶. Based on James M. Cain's 1941 novel about an overprotective, self-sacrificing mother during the Great Depression, the drama was directed by Todd Haynes and was popular with the audience.
