I AGREE. Ben Daniels deserves to be campaigned and nominated! I mean, he is billed as a series regular for Interview with the Vampire season 2. He is not a guest character nor tagged as recurring. He was part of the principal cast. And even if this was a one season commitment, it’s the more that AMC should campaign for him. Go big or go home! He was always in press releases and promos. It is understandable that he was unable to do press work due to the death of his husband, but everyone else, from critics to casual viewers, unanimously praise Ben’s performance as the vampire villain Santiago. Well, everyone loves to hate him! But he made Santiago very compelling and interesting. Yeah, sure, he and Armand had been intimate but Armand chose Louis and Santiago was displeased and plotted to get on top. Go figure.

I for one could not believe that he has yet to be nominated for the big guns of television awards - the Critics Choice, Golden Globes, BAFTA, TCA, the Emmys. As for SAG though, well, he won an Ensemble award for The Crown years ago, but the individual nomination matters more, which so far he has yet to be nominated.

If AMC cannot afford to campaign for him, others will do it for him. His agents, publicists, etc. Yes, I am a fan like anyone else, though I wish I work with his team. (Are they hiring? I do have a bit background of copywriting if they’re interested. LOL) Speaking of AMC’s awards campaign, err, the one you post is not really how you campaign. I subscribe to Variety’s emails and lurk at Gold Derby often, and it’s always the same shows that get in because their network goes all in their campaigns. Honestly, it is up to us fans who will start doing it for him. Let’s hype him up! Let’s share posts, tweets, clips, photos, etc.

I wish AMC would submit Ben for Emmy consideration. I love love love Assad, Sam and Eric, but for a smaller part then theirs, Ben made such a magnificent impact on the show. He stole the spotlight whenever he was onscreen.

The AMC network's marketing team should look into the performers who did the best performance. Not actors who had the most episodes. Even though the main cast members deserved the consideration, it is not right for several notable actors who had a smaller role. Plus, it is for the Critics Choice Awards, which is different from the Emmys Awards.

how to get the "watch along" experience with any show — old or new (and avoid spoilers, too!)

step 1: look up the dates when each episode aired

step 2: go to the tumblr search bar

step 3: type the show's tag + advanced search operators "since:YYYY-MM-DD before:YYYY-MM-DD" to target the range of days after the episode you watched came out but before the next episode aired

step 4: enjoy posts, discussions, meta, gifsets, memes, etc. that are relevant to the specific episode you just watched — spoiler-free!

happy watching!

(note that because of some backend tumblr limitations, this only works for shows that aired in 2017 or later. sorry early 2010s shows 🥲)

Fun fact: Ben Daniels, aka Santiago in Interview with the Vampire season 2, played Vicomte de Valmont in the 2008 Broadway revival of Les Liaisons dangereuses (Dangerous Liaisons), opposite Laura Linney as Marquise de Merteuil! This was Ben’s Broadway debut and he was nominated for a Tony Award for Best Leading Actor in a Play. It’s been years since Ben did a Broadway show (his last was in 2012. He was recently in the West End in 2023 for the play Medea.), and I hope he’ll be back. We better be buying tickets!!

P.S. Lestat and Santiago are like foils to one another, aren’t they?

Welcome back Vicomte de Valmont. Playboy who died for love (of a pure innocent soul…who wasn’t so innocent…sound familiar?)

INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE 2x02 | Do You Know What It Means to Be Loved by Death Welcome! To the displacement of reason. And the excretion of pathetic desires. By that I mean… Good evening. What you're about to see… is, for you, an outrage that masks a birth and a rebirth of what is [...] Instead of mere human drama, we here at Theatre Des Vampires, delve into the underbelly of the human soul, to present to you the highest form of art in the lowest of ways! Have you repressions that need airing? Oh, you've come to the right place. Phobias toward your next of kin? Amis, we assist in turning down the sheets! Bloodlust?! Fear of the insane?! I salute your honesty. Right after I take my boot from your arse! But seriously, mes amis, being vampires, and by nature superior to you mortals, we can replicate the level of bilge necessary to disrupt your tiny ship called human decency. In fact, we capsize it. So, if you don't leave here tonight seeing the world upside down and liking very much what you see, and feel, then we here at Theatre Des Vampires, have failed in our jobs which is, at the heart of it, to laugh alongside your misery while you cry and scream for more.
