Temple Grandin Wins 7 Emmy Awards!
We couldn't be happier about Temple Grandin's success at last night's Emmy Awards Ceremony! The film was nominated for a whopping 15 Emmys, and walked away with seven -- including the coveted Emmys for Outstanding Made for Television Movie and Outstanding Lead Actress in a Miniseries or Movie.
HBO's outstanding biopic movie Temple Grandin is near and dear to our hearts at American Humane Association as the inspirational story of one of the world's true animal welfare champions. We are honored that part of Temple Grandin's life's work includes serving on the Scientific Advisory Committee of American Humane Association’s farm animal welfare program, the force behind the ultra-successful American Humane® Certified label for humane farming practices.
It's also a movie that met our high standards for the treatment of animals on set. HBO looked to American Humane Association's Film & Television Unit to oversee the "animal action" during the filming of Temple Grandin. We were pleased to reward the production with our famous "No Animals Were Harmed"® end-credit disclaimer and our Monitored: Outstanding rating.
Our congratulations go out to HBO, Claire Danes -- who portrayed Temple Grandin in the film and won the Lead Actress Emmy -- and everyone else affiliated with this magnificent film.

“Temple Grandin’s remarkable talents and dedication have contributed immeasurably to the welfare of farm animals, and we deeply value her active involvement with American Humane Association’s farm animal welfare program. It was a thrill to see her receive the recognition she so richly deserves during last night’s broadcast, and our heartfelt congratulations go out to her and everyone who made this important film possible.”
--Dale Austin, CEO of American Humane Association’s farm animal welfare program
