Can HBO’s new vampire series True Blood win a Golden Globe on Sunday night?

True Blood has been nominated for Best Television Series — Drama up against Showtime’s Dexter, House on FOX, HBO’s In Treatment and AMC’s Mad Men.

Personally, I would LOVE for True Blood to win as it’s one of my favorite shows. True Blood has been getting a lot of press and has quite a following. That said, all of the shows nominated are good. If a show beats out True Blood, I hope it’s Dexter.

True Blood star Anna Paquin (the great Sookie Stackhouse) also has been nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series — Drama.

She’s up against tough competition herself — Sally Field, Brothers & Sisters (ABC), Mariska Hargitay, Law & Order, January Jones, Mad Men (AMC) and Kyra Sedgwick, The Closer (TNT).

I don’t think Anna Paquin will win this round, but I think she’s definitely someone to look at in the future. When you first watch True Blood (at least from my experience), her accent can be pretty annoying. Then the next thing you know — you are hooked so deep on the show that you literally dream Bill calling out Sookie’s name in his slow drawl.

I’m not the only one to think True Blood as a series has a good chance. Kristin Dos Santos from E! Online’s Watch With Kristin thinks so as well (see the video after the jump).

Here’s a couple of True Blood spoilers to keep you blood-thirsty: According to Entertainment Weekly, show creator Alan Ball reminds everyone that Lafayette (Nelsan Ellis) does die in the books. But that doesn’t mean he won’t be back.

EW also says the mystery surrounding True Blood’s new character Maryann (Michelle Forbes) will play front and center in season 2. She’s a supernatural creator that’s very ancient. Hmm. Wonder what that means?

Also, check out SookieBonTemps on Twitter. I’m not sure who this person actually is, but they do a good job of staying in character of Sookie Stackhouse 24/7. You almost feel like Sookie is right there in the bar serving drinks in Bon Temps!
