COLOGNE, Germany, Oct. 3 (UPI) -- U.S. actors Jon Hamm and Elizabeth Moss picked up the third annual Hollywood Reporter Award in Germany for their work in "Mad Men," officials said.

The Hollywood Reporter said the pair watched themselves dubbed in German from the AMC show while in Cologne; the episode aired on pay-TV Fox.

"It was the first time we'd seen ourselves dubbed like that, it was pretty funny," Hamm told the Reporter. "It is amazing how the show is now reaching out internationally. It seems incredible that something that seems so specific to a particular time and place in America -- a New York ad agency in the early '60s -- can reach an international audience."

"Mad Men" has become a cult hit in the English-speaking world, but the series is only just starting to get a following in continental Europe, the Reporter said.
