We at JABberwocky are thrilled to learn that TRUE BLOOD, based off of the Sookie Stackhouse novels by Charlaine Harris, is now not only a Golden Globe award-winning series, but an Emmy winner as well! The series received the Emmy for Best Casting, beating out “Mad Men” and “Friday Night Lights.”

We have to say, we feel this was a particularly well-deserved award. The casting for the series is outstanding, and the brilliant choice of actors is one of the biggest reasons why the series has become HBO’s most watched show since “The Sopranos.”

Congratulations to the cast of TRUE BLOOD, to casting directors Libby Goldstein and Junie Lowry-Johnson, and to the rest of the casting team!
