Sophia Myles nominated for SyFy Genre award

Our Sophia Myles has been nominated in the Best Actress/Television category of the SyFy Genre awards for her work as Beth Turner..... of course :) *cheer* The awards are given by the SyFy Portal website.

Unfortunately, she is the only nominee from Moonlight. While I'm happy for Sophia, I'm shocked that no other members of our cast were considered worthy.

Jason Dohring does an incredible job with the role of Josef. His line reads are always spot on! He makes us laugh, and yet can easily bring us to tears.

Shannyn Sossamon is also wonderful as Coraline. She took on the task of playing the "villain" with grace, and made her a nuanced character that many of us loved & others loved to hate. ha!

The complete surprise to me is no nomination for Alex O'Loughlin. How can you watch Alex as Mick St John and not see what an amazing actor he is?!?!? Obviously, he's the most talked about and impressive break out star of the season. I just don't understand him being left out.

For that matter, Moonlight itself more than deserved to be selected to compete in the Best Series/Television category! Our cast, writers & crew created a show that mesmerized millions of addicted fans despite being a freshman series in a Writer's Strike ravaged season and so on.

I'll stop ranting for the moment.........

Back to Sophia's nomination ~ The voting begins on June 25th, 2008. You will be allowed to vote for her once daily until July 25th, 2008. SyFy Portal will announce the winners as part of their 10th anniversary festivities in August. So, get ready to vote your fingers off for Sophia & spread the word!

Warner Bros Emmy consideration ad in Hollywood Reporter

Warner Bros Television placed a full page advertisement in the Hollywood Reporter today (page 2). The "For Your Consideration" ad asks the Emmy Awards voters to nominate WB tv programs for various categories. Moonlight is included! YEA! They are submitting it for Outstanding Drama Series. Wouldn't it be wonderful if our show was nominated for an Emmy? And then... if it won an Emmy to go with the People's Choice Award?!?

I would vote for Alex O'Loughlin as Best Lead Actor in a Drama too. No one has worked harder & been as dedicated to their show. He spent grueling hours on the set, followed by more time promoting Moonlight. Alex brought Mick St John to vivid life!

Thanks to Rueben for scanning the ad for all to see :) Click on the image above for a larger photo.
