Back-to-back Emmy wins for Helen Mirren

Helen at the Emmy's 2007
"I'm going to keep talking until that very dramatic music begins - I love that!". With these words, Helen Mirren accepted her second Emmy win for Outstanding Lead Actress In A Miniseries Or A Movie for her portrayal of Jane Tennison in Prime Suspect 7 - The Final Act. This is the first time anyone has won this category twice in a row. This is Helen's 4th Emmy win out of 10 nominations.

The mini-series itself was nominated for Outstanding Miniseries, but was trumped by Broken Trail.

Director Philip Martin scored in the category: Outstanding Directing For A Miniseries, Movie Or A Dramatic Special. In his speech, he thanked Dame Helen for inspiring them all, and writer Frank Deasy took the prize for Outstanding Writing For A Miniseries.

I loved it, watching Helen win again tonight for Prime Suspect 7 on the Emmy's was a thrill! She looked so beautiful and glamorous in her lavender gown. Did anyone see her "Hooker" shoes? Did anyone say her winning streak was over? Not our Helen!
