I’ve already begun adding photos of Michael to the site and will be adding a ton more tomorrow as well as other coverage. For now I’ve also added a poor quality version of Michael’s sweet acceptance speech to the video vault.

Tons of reports are coming in about what was discussed in the press room at the Golden Globes, I’ll be posting them as I find so return to this post for more!

Dexter‘s Michael C. Hall seems fine. It’s we reporters who seem out of sorts. After respectful applause for Hall’s entrance, the room falls silent. “Am I supposed to talk?” Hall asks.

On his current battle with cancer:
“Well, it’s a personal matter and to be completely frank, I had every intention of keeping it quiet. Because the award shows were imminent, I figured I would make a statement. It was also nice to make a statement at the point in my treatment that I did, where I was able to assure people that I am really on the road to recovery. And it’s nice to have a justifiable excuse for accessorizing.”

“It’s a matter of personal health. I had every intention of keeping it quiet.”

On his hat:
“It’s nice to have a justifiable excuse for accessorizing.” And, “I’m doing fine.”

“I wanted something pretty simple. I found this Japanese hat.”
OK, so about Hall’s headwear: Yes, it’s a treatment-related accessory, but more importantly, it’s comfy. “I wanted something that was pretty simple, but a maybe a little fancier than your normal thing,” he explains.

About Dexter
Hall says the show’s writers, they of last season’s shocking finale, head back to clean up the mess and start the new season on Wednesday. “I think I’m excited as all the viewers to see what’s in store,” he says.

What made this season special:
“Well John certainly turned the knob up to 11. He’s such a phenomenal talent and has such an energy about him that affects everyone from the crew to the producers.”

After several Golden Globe nominations Michael C. Hall has finally taken home the prize for his truly outstanding work in the fourth season of Dexter! This is truly overdue and I couldn’t be more happier for him.

Not only is Michael victorious, John Lithgow won for Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in a Series, Mini-Series or Motion Picture Made for Television. Dexter lost Best Series – Drama to Mad Men but I honestly don’t even care, I’m so happy for Michael!

Congrats to the Dexter family!

“It’s really a hell of a thing to go to work at a place where everyone gives a damn. That’s definitely the case with Dexter. It’s an amazing group from top to bottom — such an invigorated sense of collaborative energy all the time. It’s a dream job, and I’m so grateful.”

As he spoke, his Dexter co-star John Lithgow, who had just won the award for Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role, looked on with his hands clasped and an enormous smile on his face. So too was Dexter co-star and real life wife Jennifer Carpenter beaming.

“Jennifer, all my love and gratitude,” he said.

He then added, “Hi mom!”

- Public Events: Dexter Season Four Press Conference

E! News just caught up with Dexter costar Lauren Vélez at Melanie Segal’s Hollywood Helps Haiti Event, and the actress teared up when asked about costar Michael C. Hall’s cancer diagnosis.

Vélez, who plays Lt. Maria LaGuerta on Showtime’s hit series Dexter, tells E! that Hall and his wife, Jennifer Carpenter—who also stars on the Showtime series—kept Hall’s illness to themselves during series production this past year.

“You know they’ve always been incredibly private and kept to themselves, and he’s always been very private and throws himself into his work, so I knew nothing of it, and I don’t think anyone else did either,” says Vélez.

Press play above to see the emotion for yourself, and then click in to find out how the Dexter gang will be spending Globes weekend…

Vélez says she will see Hall and the rest of her costars Friday night at a Showtime dinner.

Dexter is nominated for Best Drama, and Hall himself is nominated for Best Actor in a Drama Series at this year’s Globes. Velez tells us of the nominations: “We’re really excited about it. We are so blessed.”

Vélez says the cast and crew return to work on Dexter season five in May.

Some awful news came out moments ago. Several sources are reporting that Michael C. Hall is undergoing treatment for cancer and the disease is in remission, a spokesman said. Our thoughts, prayers and love goes out to all of his family, friends and anyone who has been touched by the works of this gifted actor. The good news to report is that it is in remission – but still, sad nonetheless.

The Associated Press reports:

“I feel fortunate to have been diagnosed with an imminently treatable and curable condition, and I thank my doctors and nurses for their expertise and care,” Hall, 38, said Wednesday in a statement.

The actor was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma, a cancer of the lymphatic system, which is part of the body’s immune system. The disease is considered highly treatable with the potential for full recovery.

Craig Bankey, a spokesman for the actor, said the cancer is in complete remission and Hall’s treatment will continue as planned.

When Hall was diagnosed and the name of the Los Angeles-area health facility where he’s undergone treatment were not released.

Hall plans to attend Sunday’s Golden Globe awards and the upcoming Screen Actors Guild ceremony with his wife, actress Jennifer Carpenter, who plays his sister on Showtime’s “Dexter.” Hall is a nominee at both awards shows for his role as Dexter Morgan, a serial killer working as a blood-spatter expert.

Bankey said Hall will return to production on the drama’s fifth season later this year.
