The entire creative ensemble of Dexter was awarded an award of a year in excellency at the 2008 AFI Awards Luncheon. The event was held yesterday in Los Angeles and Michael was there to accept on behalf of the show. Huge congrats on the well deserved accolade. I have added the first few pictures, hopefully we will have more later on today. Here is what the American Film Institute had to say about Dexter (I for one totally agree!):

Dexter places its hands firmly on the throat of expectation and – minute by minute – tightens its grip until audiences begin to question their idea of morality. Michael C. Hall’s masterfully nuanced performance as Dexter breathes humanity into a monster – a killer who murders those he believes have gotten away with murder. The world through Dexter’s dark, droll and wickedly funny gaze, in many ways, defines today’s era of television – stories that are wildly ambitious, intricately told, and deeply, emotionally engaging.

The Hollywood Foreign Press Assocation today announced that Sunday’s Golden Globe Awards press conference is now open to all media outlets.

After discussions with NBC, Hollywood Foreign Press Association President Jorge Camara today announced that the HFPA will have complete control of its 65th Annual Golden Globe Awards Announcement that is scheduled to take place Sunday, January 13 at 6:00 p.m. PST in the International Ballroom of The Beverly Hilton. Under the new arrangement, there will be no restrictions placed on media outlets covering the press conference.

Which basically means that you’ll be able to watch the announcement on presumably numerous networks and news programs. Michael C. Hall is yet again nominated for is work in Dexter.

CHUD is reporting that Liev Schreiber is playing Victor Creed (aka Sabretooth) in the Gavin Hood-directed X-Men Origins: Wolverine and not a young Stryker as was previously believed.

The site adds that Michael C. Hall is instead in talks for the role of Stryker and that they are eyeing Michelle Monaghan for Silverfox.

Leading up to the events of X-Men,” Wolverine tells the story of Wolverine’s epically violent and romantic past, his complex relationship with Victor Creed, and the ominous Weapon X program. Along the way, Wolverine encounters many mutants, both familiar and new, including surprise appearances by several legends of the X-Men universe.

The movie opens in theaters on May 1, 2009.

Here’s the Michael related mention from CHUD:

So who is playing Stryker? Nobody is set yet, but the producers are darkly dreaming Dexter, if you get what I mean. Meanwhile the rest of the cast is still in formation, which means that the producers are hunting folks down – one of the names that’s on the top of their list is Michelle Monaghan for Silver Fox. I’ve heard a lot of names attached to this one over the weeks – and reported some of them – and I know that there’s another high powered actress that’s on the list as well, so nothing is set in stone. But as I always say, the casting wish lists tell you a lot about what the filmmakers are striving for, and a Wolverine movie featuring Michael C Hall, Liev Schreiber and Michelle Monaghan is a damn well cast Wolverine movie.

Thanks to Maria of our sister site JenniferCarpenter.org, we came across some previously unseen candid pictures of Michael C. Hall and Jennifer Carpenter (Dexter’s Debra) gabbing a coffee whilst reading the Sunday papers in West Hollywood, California back. These were taken back in November 2007. According to gossip reports, the two have been romantically involved for quite some time. Watch with Kristin reports that the couple spent Christmas Eve in Louisville, Kentucky, together to hang with Jennifer’s family. I personally think Michael and Jennifer make a cute couple and wish them nothing but the best!
