Last night at the 42nd Annual NAACP Image Awards, held at the Shrine Auditorium in Hollywood, CA, SouthLAnd‘s own Regina King was honored with the Image Award for Outstanding Actress in a Drama Series. In her acceptance speech, Regina thanked her fellow cast members, as well as TNT for “saving Southland again” – read into that what you will! She was previously nominated for this award last year for the 1st season of the show, but lost to Jada Pinkett Smith of HawthoRNe, also a TNT production. Other nominees in the category were Chandra Wilson (Grey’s Anatomy), GuGu  Mbatha-Raw (Undercovers) and Wendy Davis (Army Wives). (continue reading…)

VIDEO Michael Cudlitz & Ben McKenzie Talk ‘Southland’ Season 3 (TV Squad / 28 Dec 2010)

I hit the set of ‘Southland’ — a.k.a. a random residential neighborhood in L.A. — to catch up with Cudlitz and McKenzie. They talked about their onscreen partnership, who’s the biggest goofball and the show’s tighter focus on their characters, Regina King’s Det. Lydia Adams, and Shawn Hatosy’s Det. Sammy Bryant. They also dished a little about upcoming storylines, pill addictions, nudity and more.

Here is the first in a series of videos of the interviews we did while on the set of Southland on Friday, December 17, 2010. This is the first of 2 solo interviews with Regina King.

Regina was amazingly gracious and friendly, although she had to have been under immense pressure. In fact, all 3 of them – Regina, Ben McKenzie and Michael Cudlitz, plus technical adviser Chic Daniels – were very pleasant and wonderful with us the whole time. It was their last day of filming for 2010, they had a very long day ahead of them still, after a very early start, the weather was horrible outside, and yet they all still treated us like old friends there for a chat instead of website reporters there to pick their brains. They know, as does TNT, that the fans are the ones that helped save this show not once, but twice. They know who they are making the show for and they appreciate it.

So on with the video interview! (continue reading…)
