Well, another bloody year has come and gone and here we are again on the eve of a new year. Today we’re taking the time to go through the True Blood News events of 2010…
As usual, the year started out with the various award shows. First up was the Golden Globes and True Blood was up for Best Drama & Anna Paquin was nominated for Best Actress in TV Drama. Although neither won (Mad Men & Julianna Marguiles took the honors), it looked like the True Blood cast had a blast at the event.
Maryann spreading that crazy orgiastic party influence again...
Next up was the SAG Awards where Anna presented the Award for Best Comedic Actress. The cast was nominated for Best Ensemble Cast. Again, they lost out to Mad Men. The fans were the winners though as a bunch of goofy photos were taken at the after party.
In April, we had the chance to interview Sam Trammell, where Sam confirmed that our wishes of a Sam/Bill daliance (even if imagined) might be possible.
June was an exciting month for all True Blood fans beginning with the 3rd season premiere at Arclight Cinerama Dome in Hollywood on June 8th. On June 13th, the first episode of season three premiered on HBO to a record number of viewers who found out right away who stole Bill Compton.
The beginning of True Blood’s third year also launched The Battle of The Fang charity competition which ran until the season finale. Team Eric and Team Bill put their money to super good use while supporting their favorite vampire. Our sister site, alexskarsgard.net proved formidable competition, and from the very beginning, the race was close. Stephen Moyer talked about it backstage at the Tonight Show:
There are still more pictures coming in from Eyecon which was held last weekend. Here are a bunch of photos taken by Chris Spirito who was at the event. Thanks Chris!
At the Eyecon Q&A, Sam Trammell enchanted the crowd with his experiences on True Blood and mentioned that he would love to be in a remake of The Godfather. He’d also like to guest host Saturday Night Live. Oh Sam, we’d love to see you on SNL as well!
Aemac and Tincar are having a great time at Eyecon and they just sent us wonderful pics of the lovely Kristin Bauer at the Q&A session. Kristin talked about filming TB and meeting Abri. She also told that Alexander Skarsgard sends all Kristin’s lines in Swedish to Itunes for Kristin to practice.
Our sister site, SimplyMoyer is at the Eyecon Convention in Florida where they are currently sitting in on the Joe Manganiello panel.
They have reported that Joe Manganiello is negotiating with Warner Bros. to play Superman in the next movie. You heard it here folks, straight from Joe’s mouth (well, sort of)! What do y’all think about Joe portraying the Super man in blue?
EyeCon has added another True Blood actor in the form of Allan Hyde, he joins Sam Trammell, Kristen Bauer Van Straten and Joe Manganiello. That’s four different hour long Q&A’s you can attend, plus two concerts one of them being presented by Kristen’s husband Abri Van Straten. EyeCon also offers a meet & greet cocktail party, a buffet dinner with the actors, and autograph and picture sessions with your actor of choice. For more info visit eyeconfla.com
