Did you hear that Martin Freeman won a BAFTA for Best Supporting Actor for Sherlock? (I'm biting back my initial reaction, "What do you mean supporting?" I am somewhat aware that just because I was watching The John Watson Show with his Slightly Odd-Looking Sidekick doesn't mean everyone was.)
So I'd heard that a day or two ago, when it was already old news (see piece in The Guardian). I hadn't heard that Sherlock won Best Drama, which kind of leaves me scratching my head. I enjoyed the heck out of it and can't wait for the next one, but frankly, I thought the writing of the episodes was a very mixed bag (spoilers for all of series 1).
Now a couple of at least notionally-related items that I will put behind cuts for my friends who hate any kind of spoilers. (I avoid most plot spoilers for my favorite shows, but I like cast spoilers—when they aren't plot spoilers. Yes, I get burned this way not infrequently.)
I'd started hearing this rumor that Benedict Cumberbatch was going to be in The Hobbit but thought it fairly ridiculous. Most of the casting is done, Ben is busy in London and highly successful; "They'd have to fly him out to New Zealand," I told Brilliant Husband, "and people would surely notice."
"Look!" he said, pointing up in the air. "A flying Cumberbatch! Yeah, they'd notice that."
Well, no less an authority than Sir Ian McKellan confirms that Ben will be joining the cast, though he doesn't know in what role. I was, of course, forgetting that one need not be on the same side of the world to do a screen test, and there's loads of stuff they haven't even started filming.
I'm thinking Ben totally looks like an elf. BH seems to agree. What do you think?
While I'm thinking about Sherlock, Mark Gatiss has a Twitpic from a table reading. I'm not sure if this is really a spoiler, because I can't tell who the heck the woman at the table is. The two guys I recognize well enough. Don't they look like they're having fun? That's what I want to see.
Twitpic
If you know who she is, let me know.
Best guess I've heard:
spoiler space
more spoiler space
am I annoying you yet?
Best guess I've heard: dunno who she is, but she might be playing Irene Adler.
