Congrats to The Killing (Forbrydelsen) and Idris Elba and the rest of the winners!
ReplyDelete>.< Castle didn't win!! Is The killing good? next week it's going to be released in my country, and I don't know if watch ir or not...
ReplyDeleteYou should watch it!
ReplyDeleteIt's one of the best crime dramas I have seen in years. Don;t take my word for it alone.... it's been nominated and winning awards all over the world where ever it's been televised.
I'm assuming the Danish version is being televised there Chestal? The US version last year was good too, but not as stellar as the original Danish series.
mmmmm is it a remake? I didn't know that! but nope, the US version is the one which is going to be released here , in Spain... :/ so... was the original the one which got awards? or the US version?? :/ xD
ReplyDeleteThe US version is a remake. The original Danish is 20 episodes and the US is 13. It is based on the same story but they changed it to shorten it and make it their own.
ReplyDeleteThe US version was nominated for awards to so it should be worth watching.
Yay for Luther!! Still find it odd that a years old show can win awards, just seems a bit wrong, but congrats to The Killing for sweeping up I guess.
ReplyDeleteok! I'll watch it if I can then! :P
ReplyDeleteShame about Ruth Wilson not winning. But YAY for Idris. I adore Luther!
ReplyDeleteGlad you like it. I do think it's one of our better exports. ;)
ReplyDeleteLuther is good.
