Damn, but that looks gorgeous.
DAMN, but that looks cold.
Watching this really makes me regret that I did not get to visit the shoot this season. Not Belfast, not Croatia, and not Iceland.
Next season, though…

Last night in London SFX magazine announced the winners of their annual readers’s awards, and I am pleased and proud to report that A DANCE WITH DRAGONS won for Best Novel, and HBO’s GAME OF THRONES as Best New TV Show.
<lj-embed id=”260″/>
I was not able to be in the UK for the awards (though I will be, come April, for Eastercon, and signings in Bath and London), so I taped my acceptance speech ahead of time.
Thanks for everyone who voted… and to all my readers everywhere, who waited for the book so patiently, and have received it with so much enthusiasm and acclaim.
(For a full list of winners, check out the SFX website. And do be sure to play Neil Gaiman’s acceptance speech, it’s a hoot and a half.)
((Now all I need to make the day perfect is a Giants victory in the SuperBowl. GO BIG BLUE!!))

Spent yesterday with a film crew with HBO, talking about Westeros and Ice & Fire for second season GAME OF THRONES promotional videos, trailers, HBO GO extras, DVD/ Blu-Ray add ons, etc.
Six and a half hours of interviews.
I may never talk again.

A new trailer for GAME OF THRONES, season two, debuted tonight, just before the premier of LUCK.
For those who missed it (shame on you), here ’tis.

LOVE all the new faces. Our amazing cast just keeps getting more amazing.
I hope you’re all as jazzed as I am.

Well, we lost another one.
Congratulations to the cast members of BOARDWALK EMPIRE. Great show, I think. The second season was even better than the first. Love Steve Buschemi as Nucky especially.
Got to give it to us. We lose only to the best: MAD MEN, HOMELAND, BOARDWALK EMPIRE.
It’s an honor just be nominated.
(And it was nice to see so many of our cast members there. They’re partying now, I don’t doubt. Wish I was there.)
