True Blood’s Stephen Moyer: ‘We weren’t surprised by Emmy snub’

True Blood star Stephen Moyer has admitted that the cast weren’t surprised when they failed to receive any Emmy nominations this year.

Speaking to Entertainment Weekly at last night’s Emmy ceremony, Moyer said:

“Not many shows get nominated in the first season. I would hope that after the success of the second season, it would at least be up there next year in the running. If nothing else, but for [creator Alan Ball's] work.

“I don’t think we were that surprised. Vampire stuff as a genre hasn’t traditionally been a big Emmy choice.”

Stephen also shed some light on how he feels about his girlfriend Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin) cosying up to vampire boss Eric.

"unfeasibly tall and that's not a good thing". I'm thinking someone is feeling short and is a bit jealous.

It was cool seeing SM up there with my now second favorite vampire. DB was my very favorite vampire for many years, since season 1 of Buffy. I watch him in Bones, but I liked him much better as Angel.

Wanna guess which tall vampire is my number 1 favorite now?

P.S. I have a 6'4", blond son. I resent him being called unfeasibly tall. Hasn't slowed him down. We've teased him for years for looking like a Viking!

Sharon i liked Angel and i also watch
Bones.And my fav tall Viking vampire
is getting a lot of muscle and a tan
hope he keeps the muscle.Don't know
how the short hair and the tan will
work though.I also thought SM was a
little jealous.

Rita said...

Oh!the blond hair didn't do any thing
for him keep it dark please.

Sharon said...

Rita, after watching AS in Generation Kill, I love him with short hair. You can really concentrate on his gorgeous face!

So did you prefer DB as Angel or Booth?

Rita said...

I liked him as Angel

Rita said...

I saw Alex EricNorthman.net in a fan
pic,his hair is really short but
he is just wonderful.

Sharon said...

Rita, did you ever watch Generation Kill? He's the star and it is so good.

Rita said...

Yes i did my son got the DVD i love
it.

Sharon said...

Well, then you know he's gorgeous with short hair. I introduced both my sons to it. I got lucky. Last fall when I got HBO for 3 months to watch TB, GK was shown over a 2 day period before my free 3 months was up. In fact, I was watching it while I made out an exam today when my oldest son dropped by. And I bought it on Bluray for my younger son this summer.

Rita said...

four legged human said it is bed

Russell,he is the boss of the family
