MCH nominated for Golden Globe

Now the recognition starts - today, the Golden Globes, tomorrow, the Oscars (yes, yes, there's a *slight* fault in the logic there ....). Let's hope this is the first of many!

My only gripe? Where's the other nominations:

Julie Benz for Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series - Drama?

Jennifer Carpenter for Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role in a Series, Mini-series or Motion Picture Made for Television?

David Zayas for Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in a Series, Mini-series or Motion Picture Made for Television?

Dexter for Best Television Series - Drama?

Michael C. Hall should win though - he's up against some real light weights:
Patrick Dempsey - he should lose because of his stupid nickname
Hugh Laurie - his character is just too nice
Bill Paxton - who?
Kiefer Sutherland - his nomination will obviously have to be withdrawn because they got his first name wrong


*joke* - a bad one admittedly but don't stone me!

Julie Benz interview

A short but informative interview at Sequential Tart. It is spoiler free so safe to read. I loved her answer about Dexter:

"What I love the most about the series is the perfect blend of dark versus light. The writers take you to some very dark places, but then balance those moments out with vulnerability and humanity. And I also love the moral ambiguity of the show. You find yourself rooting for Dexter and yet he's a serial killer — but a serial killer with his own moral code — the show lives in the grey and I like that ... that interests me."

I had also forgotten about her wonderful role as Layla Rourke on Supernatural - that was again Julie at her best with a mix of complex (and, to some extent, contradictory) emotions playing simultaneously. She has brought that to both the big roles I know her in - the incomparable Darla on Angel and Rita on Dexter, of course.
