It seems as if I’m not the only one bummed about Alex not being nominated for Generation Kill!

The unluckiest actor of all, however, is Alexander Skarsgård. Equally brilliant as the icy moral centre of Generation Kill and the devious, devilish Eric in True Blood, he found himself without any nominations at all. When Jon Cryer and Charlie Sheen can still find themselves nominated for the execrable Two and Half Men the omission of Skarsgård feels like the biggest oversight of all.

And for True Blood:

3. It has a superb cast
No weak links here. Virtually the entire cast of “True Blood” is Emmy worthy (Anna Paquin’s even got an Oscar to her name), but we give special props to Ryan Kwanten for his portrayal of earnest yet dim-witted Jason Stackhouse and Alexander Skarsgård who plays vampire Eric with a chilling likability.

Here’s some more awesome news!!

I want to offer a special congratulations to Rudy Reyes for being nominated in this year’s Imagen Awards for Best Supporting Actor in a television Series for his role in Generation Kill!  Rudy rocked it in GK in his self portrayed role!  You can learn more about Rudy at rudyreyes.com.
