Dexter star Michael C. Hall has admitted that he hopes the show will win an Emmy award.

The showtime drama is nominated for ‘Outstanding Drama Series’, while Hall himself is up for ‘Outstanding Lead Actor In A Drama Series’ for his role as serial killer Dexter Morgan.

“I feel like any award for the show is an award for all of us,” he told Zap2It. “To have that formally recognised so that people could really, without reservation, share a collective sense of pride would be amazing.”

However, he insisted that he feels honored just to be nominated for an award.

Being bad turned out to be very good for actor John Lithgow.

Lithgow won Best Guest Actor in a drama at Saturday’s Creative Arts Emmys in L.A. for his bone-chilling role as a serial murderer in Showtime’s Dexter.

Lithgow, 64, credited his chemistry with onscreen nemesis Michael C. Hall for bringing the character to terrifying life – and said Hall is “doing very, very well” since revealing in January that he was in remission from Hodgkin’s lymphoma.

“There were about four days over the course of that season last year that I had to work as hard as Michael does every day,” Lithgow told reporters after winning his Emmy. “He’s had no trouble this season working five days a week, so I’m delighted.”

Lithgow also offered reporters a puzzled reaction to his onstage gaffe – in accepting the award, he thanked rival network HBO rather than Showtime.

“I said HBO?” he said afterward. “I’ll never live that down.”

PopSugar interviewed Michael C. Hall and he told them he’d love to play the Riddler in the upcoming Batman film. Various sites have posted actor suggestions for the role and Michael was listed. I’d personally love to see it! Michael also gave some details regarding Julia Stiles’s upcoming stint on Dexter.

After revealing earlier this year that he was battling cancer, Dexter star Michael C. Hall is healthy, whole and back in the role of Showtime’s oddly noble serial killer – and grateful for the support he received from his cast and crew during the tough period.

“I count myself lucky on so many fronts – and certainly in regards to the Hodgkin’s [lymphoma],” a fit-looking Hall, again sporting a full head of hair after his treatments, told People this week at San Diego’s Comic-Con International.

“It’s a real gift to be able to go back to work,” says Hall, 39. “One of the best things about it is that it emerged at a time when we were close to the end of shooting. I was able to treat it over the hiatus and it didn’t interrupt our production schedule, which, obviously, would have its effect on me, but it would have its effect on our cast, our crew, people who count on this family to keep making the show.”

I sincerely apologize for not updating this site more these past few weeks/months, believe me when I say there have been some very serious issues in my real life to deal and it’s been taking priority. But I’m very pleased to report back on the news that Dexter and Michael himself snagged up some 7 well deserved Emmy noms some days back! Could this finally be Michael’s year at an Emmy!? Lets hope so!

The awards will be presented live on NBC on August 29.
