The CW has released a standalone People’s Choice spot for The Vampire Diaries‘ Favorite New TV Drama win:

Speaking of People’s Choice – remember that video of Paul and Nina we mentioned? The brief one that aired during the show, accepting Hollywood Style’s “Hottest Couple”? Thanks to Euras for pointing out that it’s now on YouTube – within the first 25 seconds of the video.

Often press runs for the show blur together and we’re not sure if something is an entirely new interview (hell, could be quotes from TCA or the London press tour, no idea), but we’ll mention it just in case: United Arab Emirates’ The National has an interview with Ian. The Vampire Diaries debuted in the UAE Monday night on MBC Action and, reading the article, it seems the network’s taking a gamble on how the show will play in the Middle East. You can also watch a new promo for the show (of so-so quality).

“I change all the time and my character changes with me,” he said with a laugh in response to a question about his somewhat boyish appearance in the show’s pilot in contrast to his sultry handsomeness in the promotional photos. “In every episode, Damon looks different. He really has the power to do whatever he wants and that includes changing his look.”

Read the interview over at the National.

And we’ll post a reminder this weekend, but Ian filmed a spot for Live with Regis & Kelly today. His segment will air next Monday, January 18th. (The week Vampire Diaries returns to your televisions.)

While we’re sure everyone knows that the Vampire Diaries won the favourite new drama category at the People’s Choice Awards, we also imagine that not everyone was able to see it happen. So, for your viewing pleasure, Greg Grunberg (Heroes) and Kathryn Morris (Cold Case) announcing the Vampire Diaries as the winning show.

 
Regular forum member and proud Elena fan thedean786 has written an interesting article explaining just why the Vampire Diaries appeals to a regular guy such as himself:

So I’ve got a confession to make. I like TVD – no, wait, scratch that – I actually love TVD. *sigh* much better. I really needed to get that off my chest. But here’s the kicker – I’m actually a guy that actually enjoys watching a TV show which for all intents and purposes I should be shunning. I mean c’mon, what “full grown alpha male” in his right mind would ever admit to liking this show? Especially since it’s supposedly for the “screaming sappy girl fans of Twilight” – ok that was a bit harsh, but you get my point. Yet here I am readily admitting my admiration of all things TVD. Could I possibly be insane? Read on dear friends read on.

Read the rest of the article over at Vampire Diaries Online.

 
You can catch a glimpse of Ian, Nina and Paul on the dance set of episode 12, “Unpleasantville”, in the video below:

 
And finally, Marcos Siega tweeted a picture from his phone of some of the cast hard at work on set… on their own phones. ;)

The Vampire Diaries TV SeriesWell, we tried to be spoiler-free on Twitter, but that went out the window once the cast and production team started tweeting their thanks – sorry, West coasters!

While most polls have been closed over at the People’s Choice Awards website, they are keeping the polls for Favorite New TV Comedy and Favorite New TV Drama open to round up more votes. And it gets better: the New TV Drama category has narrowed down to only five shows – V, The Good Wife, NCIS: Los Angeles, FlashForward, and (you guessed it) The Vampire Diaries. We can still win this thing! Vote as often as you can.

This is my choice for:
Favorite New TV Drama
The Vampire Diaries
