The Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films has announced the nominations for the 34th Annual Saturn Awards. Dexter has picked up a few nominations and one for Michael himself! He is nominated in the Best Actor on Television category for Dexter. Congrats & good luck to Michael! His fellow nominees are Edward James Olmos (Battlestar Galactica), Matt Dallas (Kyle XY), Kevin McKidd (Journeyman), Lee Pace (Pushing Daisies) and Matthew Fox (Lost).

Although Michael C. Hall and Liev Schrieber (The Omen) have been rumored for the part of the villainous William Stryker in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, the role has reportedly gone to actor Danny Huston, most known from his work as the lead vampire in 30 Days of Night.

JoBlo.com reports that Huston will play the younger version of the military scientist played in X2: X-Men United by Brian Cox, and that he’s already in New Zealand preparing for the role. Stryker is the brains behind the Weapon X program that turned Logan into the adamantium-laced Wolverine.

USA Today has published the very first still of Hugh Jackman in the movie so production is very much underway and filming as we speak. Hopefully an official casting announcement will happen soon and we can find out some truth to the matters.

Thanks to Ally for the heads up, we have scans from the February 11th issue of TV Guide! In the brief article, it’s lists 5 reasons they love Dexter and there is old Emmy Magazine picture of Michael. Be sure to check them out!

Dexter’s first season (edited for basic television of course) will begin re-airing on February 17th at 10:00PM on CBS. If you’ve never caught the series before, now is your chance. Don’t miss it!

On behalf of all of the fans, we want to wish a very happy birthday to Mr Hall, who turns 37-years old today. Happy birthday and all the best on your special day, Michael! 

A few hours ago Michael attended the 14th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards, he doubled as a presenter and nominee. Unfortunately (again!) Michael C. Hall was snubbed as an ‘Actor’, as the award for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a TV Series went to James Gandolfini for a little show you might have heard of called The Sopranos. Regardless, Michael lit up the room and interviewers with his charm and wit!

Pictures are still incredibly scarce at the moment, but check back as we will be adding many more as they become available!

Edit: A total of 20 pictures have been uploaded, a mixture of MQ and HQ. Hopefully we’ll be able to gather up more in the next few days.
