Michael’s wife Jennifer Carpenter had this to say about his current battle with cancer. She’s basically just reassuring us what we’ve heard and read before, which is great news!

“He’s great. Very lucky [he] caught it early – it’s 98 percent curable, so it’s basically choosing the treatment and sticking with it.”

“After two rounds of treatment, he was in complete remission. He’s just finishing up to make sure it stays that way. He wanted to let everybody know and he’s been receiving so much support and good thoughts. That’s been the kick that he needed to just finish it up.”

“It’s always felt like an opportunity to get closer and I’m just so impressed with him and anyone who’s had to go through it,” she said, becoming visibly emotional. “Every second’s special with him, it sounds corny but it’s true. I’m very lucky.”

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!”
