’The Tudors’ costume designer Joan Bergin (My Left Foot, Reign of Fire) has scooped her second Emmy Award for her work on season two of Showtime’s ‘The Tudors’ at the 60th Annual Emmy Awards in the NOKIA Theatre in L.A.
Bergin, along with her team Susan O’Connor Cave (Wardrobe Supervisor) and Gabriel O’Brien (Assistant Costume Designer) won the award for Outstanding Costumes for a Series beating off competition from the creative teams of ‘Desperate Housewives’, ‘Mad Men’, ‘Pushing Daisies’, ‘Ugly Betty’.
This marks the second Emmy for Bergin, having picked up the same award last year for her work on the Irish/Canadian co-production.
‘The Tudors’ casting directors Nuala and Frank Moiselle were nominated in Outstanding Casting for a Drama Series but lost out to the casting team of the US legal series ‘Damages’.
Executive producer Morgan O’Sullivan said he was delighted that the costume team has been recognized with an Emmy for the second time, for this series filmed entirely in Ireland. Season Three of the show is currently being shot at Ardmore Studios in Co. Wicklow until October.
