• The Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror presented its annual Saturn Awards on Tuesday night. Showtime’s Dexter, starring stage veteran Michael C. Hall, was named Best Syndicated/Cable Television series. (source)

• Dexter takes murder marketing to a new level… With all the fuss being made over J.C. Penney’s real-but-not video spot that won a Cannes Bronze Lion, we were pleased yesterday when some actual marketing stunts arrived from Dexter, the Michael C. Hall series about a lovable serial killer. First, there was Dexter’s Wrapping Paper (”Due to its impermeability and adhesion keeps the victim well wrapped and the floor free of blood splatter. Avoiding leaving clues and traces of any crimes.”), which carried information about the series printed on the plastic wrap itself. (source – includes must see pics!)

• Michael C. Hall attended Diablo Cody’s 30th birthday bash at the Playboy mansion this past weekend. I have not been able to find any pictures so far… But Michael and Diablo – now there’s a collaboration I’d love to see! (source)

I came across 24 high quality pictures of Michael at the Museum of Moving Image Honors event and added them in the gallery for your viewing pleasure. Better late than never, huh! I also discovered some additional stills of the latter half of Dexter‘s first season. Enjoy!

By the way, the experts over at Gold Derby predict that Michael C. Hall will land in the Emmy Top 10. Here’s to hoping!

Showtime’s complete second season of the awesome serial killer series, Dexter, is arriving on DVD August 19th. Specific box set details are forthcoming. Over the course of the twelve episodes that comprised this series’ sophomore run, Dexter Morgan (Michael C. Hall) faces his lethal “addiction” and balances his relationships with Rita (Julie Benz) and newcomer Lila (Jaime Murray) all the while skirting suspicion that he’s the Bay Harbor Butcher.
