Screw the Emmys. The Foreign Press knows greatness when they see it!

I have so much love for all the flailing that's been going on on Twitter, from other WC cast and crew to co-stars from other movies, not to mention the press. THE PRESS IS JUST AS HAPPY.

Well deserved, Matty. Very well deserved. :D :D :D

I know I'm a little late to the party, but I still wanted to throw some confetti. GO MATTY! And also? GO COLLARS! We did it! Better late than never, right? *g*

Now let's all keep our fingers crossed for the Golden Globes on Sunday...

Saw this on Tumblr and needed to share.










And no, I will not be grateful or happy that The Normal Heart won Best TV Movie. Yes, this is a big and important category to win, but it does in no way minimize the other losses, be it for Matt Bomer, Mark Ruffalo, Julia Roberts, Ryan Murphy or Larry Kramer. (I'm not counting Jim Parsons, Alfred Molina or Joe Mantello, even though they were all amazing, because they just had to lose to Matt. Yes, Matt. Not Martin Friggin' Freeman.)

The only thing I am grateful for is the fact that I got to thank Matty personally for his portrayal of Felix Turner, that I got to tell him that his performance helped me find closure after almost three decades. He has said time and again that people's reactions to the movie blew him away and touched him, so I do hope that having a weird fan from Germany ambush him in some dirty, industrial corner of Queens to sincerely thank him for The Normal Heart did mean something to him.

It meant the world to me. 

And for a good cause, too!!!



Matty got challenged to take part in the Project "ALS Ice Bucket Challenge", which means he had 24 hours to drench himself in ice water...and he accepted (apparently very happily).

The fact that he enlisted the help of his sons increases the adorable factor by about a gajillion. ♥

I love seeing so many celebs being part of this. My Twitter feed is exploding. :) And while I really am looking forward to seeing Mark Ruffalo, Joe Manganiello and Zack Quinto doing this next (at least they'd better accept Matty's challenge!), I'm also kinda saddened that Matty didn't challenge Tim. *g* Oh well. So, blame Matt Bomer for less half nekkid and wet Tim DeKay in this world.

On a more serious note, if you want to do something to help (and stay dry while you're at it), why not donate?

If you'd like to know more about the whole Ice Bucket Challenge phenomenon, have a look at this Huff Post article.

Thank you, everyone, for all the birthday wishes and pressies and what not. I feel very loved at the moment. :)

As a perfect cherry on top, I got to meet Matty again today (however briefly) and had my upper and lower brain functions short-circuit when he looked like this on set:

I will do a more coherent post and thank everyone individually tomorrow, but for now, I just wanted to throw a gigantic Thank You! into the crowd. :D

Oh Matt, please don't ever stop sharing stuff like that on Twitter.  ♥

This is just about the most well deserved award ever!

(Also, congrats to The Normal Heart winning Best Movie. Well deserved, indeed.)

Two gorgeous men in tuxes (and matching glasses!):



rabidchild must have had a serious flailing attack last night. *g*

(Is it just me? I keep waiting for them to whip their glasses off, don their capes and turn into Superman.)

Added plus: Neil Patrick Harris and Bryan Cranston won a Tony each! :D (wish I could see Hedwig live *sadface*)

Thank you so much, angelita26, for sharing the link!

If Mark and Matt don't get Emmys for this, I'll...be very upset.

I've adored the man (the individual, not the actor--though don't get me wrong, I love him as an actor as well!) for a long while now. I think he's an amazing human being. Humble and sweet, giving and compassionate. I haven't seen a single negative report about the guy.

Somehow, he seems too good to be true.

And then elrhiarhodan shares this link with me, and I'm literally in tears because it proves yet again that Matt Bomer is made of awesomecake.

Matty was at SXSW a few days ago to promote "Space Station 76" (and ZOMG, I cannot wait to see that movie!), and during one of the many wonderful interviews he gave, he kinda sorta spilled the potential beans about the future of White Collar.

Here's the link to the interview vid: http://uinterview.com/news/matt-bomer-and-marisa-coughlan-talk-space-station-76-at-sxsw-exclusive-video-interview-10865

At the very end, when asked about upcoming projects, he mentions "The Normal Heart", of course, and then (direct quote):

"I have the last season of White Collar, and I start filming probably this summer."

Which tells me that
1. S6 is the last season (no 7 seasons, as everyone hoped at one time)
2. it's a season (13 eps?), not a mini-series or a TV movie
3. the "probably" was in reference to when they are filming, not if they are filming (meaning, S6 is a definite go, we just don't know when it'll happen)

I personally have always been convinced that there would be another season, and the lack of news until now didn't so much worry as frustrate me. I do believe USA won't officially announce the renewal until they know a definite shooting schedule (which, by the way, will coincide with me leaving New York, I'm sure... *shakes fist in frustration*).

Anyway. Food for thought. Reason for hope. Please continue to keep your fingers crossed, click your heels three times, and stick needles into your personal Jeff Eastin voodoo doll (optional).

This is just stunningly gorgeous!

(and the view of Manhattan ain't bad either...*g*)

Clicken to embiggen!

Wishing my sweet friend kanarek13 a very happy birthday!

I'm so sorry I can't be there to give you a big birthday hug in person *sadface* but I hope you're having a wonderful time today with the rest of the gang!

I didn't have time to write you something, but I asked Matt to drink to your health, and he did. :)



(Usually, I despise paparazzi pics, but his trip to Mexico to celebrate Simon's 50th is a source of pure gold, so I couldn't resist...)

Simon volunteered to receive a big birthday hug in your stead. Hope that's okay. *g*

Dammit! I meant to post this yesterday, but things got a little hectic. *shakes fist at RL*

So, slightly late but with love, heeeere's Johnny! Matty! :D



(I know most folks will know this one already, but I ♥ this vid so much, and I ♥ Matt's Texas twang, and I really dig that turtleneck (not) that I just had to post it. Again.)

*goes back to writing Ficmas stories*

( spoilery pic for last night's WC ep behind cut )

That is all.

...and Matty's very diplomatic response to the 50 Shades debacle... *smishes him*

( spoilers behind cut, obviously )

Also? People who abuse change.org should be slapped with a smelly, dead fish. Yes, I'm also looking at the Ben-Affleck-Is-Not-Batman people. *glowers* If you phrase (and abuse SPaG) the way this petition is phrased, you cannot be taken seriously. Just sayin'.

Also, also? If you wanna see a Peter-centric spoiler, mosey on over to aragarna's LJ and have a look at this! *flails*
