Whatever it is I'd like to know! I'm permanently tired lately - could use some of his energy supply
It's what keeps him so young, I guess

Every time a fangirl *squees* Benedict absorbs the escence of her adoration. At this point he's got enough energy to power the sun.

Oh - I though that was why he was in France.

Me too. But I'm still keeping my fingers crossed for him and Sherlock

Aaaw no SuitBatch then?? Awh! I suppose he has his reasons though, probably something important has come up!

The best explanation ever

Sorry to tell you that Benedict did not win at Monte Carlo. Congrats to Klaus Maria Brandauer.

Sorry! This is really embarrassing. I mixed them up. Klaus Maria Brandauer won and he is an excellent Austrian actor.

Whoever he is!

**Posted by Tinks** June 11, 2014 6:07 pm

Ah, that's a shame - he doesn't get much serious recognition for his acting in Sherlock though, imo.

**Posted by SusiGo** June 11, 2014 6:07 pm

Oh, he is a brilliant Swiss actor. One of the best German-speaking actors, I would say.

I have not seen his film. But I think it may be an impediment that Sherlock is regarded by many as a crime show and not "serious drama".

I need to check him out!

**Posted by SusiGo** June 11, 2014 6:11 pm

Do that. He is really, really good.

Sorry, bb, just edited my above post. I had the wrong man in mind. But Brandauer is excellent as well. My mistake.

I need to check them both out!

**Posted by SusiGo** June 11, 2014 6:23 pm

Fine :-)

**Posted by nakahara** June 11, 2014 6:31 pm

All nominated actors deserved the price equally, they are all good.
So it doesn´t matter that only one of them won - it doesn´t diminish them.

Isn't His Last Vow and Ben up for TV Emmy awards? That must be soon too!

**Posted by tonnaree** June 12, 2014 1:56 am

I am going to be so torn by the Emmy's this year. I'm routing for people in Sherlock, Fargo and True Detective to get nominations.

Klaus Maria Brandauer was in "Out of Africa", I'm sure you all know him from that movie.

And I suppose Susi is right, "Sherlock" is probably considered to be more of a crime series instead of serious drama, and that might make it more difficult for the show and the actors to take away awards.
