Acceptance Speech for BEST DRAMATIC PERFORMANCE - DAVID TENNANT - LITVINENKO

David: Hello. Welcome to backstage at the Domar Warehouse. I just stepped out of rehearsals for a second because I want to say thank you so much for this award. Litvinenko was such a very special project to be part of. It meant so much to all of us who were involved in telling Sasha Litvinenko's story. It wasn't just another job. We were telling the story of an extraordinary man and his extraordinary family. It was an honour to portray him. And it means so much to have it recognized in this way. Marina Litvinenko and Anatoly, her son, were extraordinary human beings to get to know. And to be entrusted with their story is something that I will be forever proud of. So this means a great deal. So thank you to everyone who voted and thank you to I Talk Telly. I really appreciate it. Thank you so much.

We don't have an acceptance speech but Good Omens won in the BEST RETURNING DRAMA category! :)

Three point turn? Nah, that turn had enough points that I could have used it as set up for the forbidden sin of human transmutation and accidentally disintegrated my brother

I just realized something

the picture used when announcing the winner for the best comedy partnership that david and michael won:

does originally include anna:

I completely forgot she was even there to begin with. also, interesting choice to edit a photo like that rather than use one just with michael and david to begin with.

Oh, man. I don't know why this managed to totally escaped my notice the other day, but you are absolutely right! Thank you for pointing this out.

And I am with you, I somehow also forgot that Anna was in the original picture, which seems to speak to how memorable she was in season 3 of Staged (as I recall, she actually had less screen time in season 3 than either of the other two, and Georgia had more, interestingly enough).

What's fascinating to me is exactly what you said, however. That instead of using any one of the numerous already existing shots of Michael and David together in S3, they chose this one and edited her out of it. And not only was AL edited out of the shot, they also edited David and Michael to be closer together. I mean...there are choices, and then there are choices, and that was most definitely A Choice.

It somehow doesn't feel like an accident, either. Especially not when we consider that something like this has happened with previous awards. As we all vividly remember, David received an NTA in 2021 that was presented to him by Michael. At the time, the NTA Instagram page was posting pictures of the winners in each category, and every picture was of the winner either giving their acceptance speech at the podium, or by themselves in the press room.

Except...this was the picture they used for David:

To me, this always felt like an inkling of the press knowing something without actually saying it (especially given that the Radio Times also referred to Michael and David as a handsome couple that same night). And to now have the blatant editing of that I Talk Telly graphic two years later, is well...really quite something, when you put it all together.

So yes, that is very definitely an interesting choice, and I am honestly wondering if they just assumed no one would notice or realize. (Which it seems many didn't, as everyone was talking a lot about Michael being absent from the acceptance speech videos, but you are the first person I've seen say anything about her being absent from the photo). I am glad you did notice, however, so that we could discuss it...

Heyyy michael

[telemna-hyelle]

man i wish english still used thou and thee as the familiar articles. cause nowadays we think of thou and thee as super formal but Actually they are what you would use with people you are Super close too and I love it in Shakespeare when that ✨moment✨ happens and the love interests start using thee and thou for each other and can you imagine what it would be like like there's someone you have a crush on and you have been for a while and then one day, suddenly, tentatively, they say, "Hello, how... how art thou today," and for a moment you do nothing and then your head pops up and you realize they're blushing a little and you realize you are too and you say shyly, ducking your head "I'm good, thank thee. And... and thou...?" and you walk side by side down the street with rosy cheeks and shy silly smiles and you live happily ever after

My fav moments from Telly Savalas’ completely ridiculous 10-minutes of screen time in Horror Express.
