On Thursday, January 12, 2012, Joseph Morgan represented The Vampire Diaries at the 2012 Winter Television Critics Association, where he joined Supernatural‘s Jared Padalecki, Nikita‘s Shane West, Hart of Dixie‘s Wilson Bethel, and Gossip Girl‘s Ed Westwick on the Bad-Ass Boys of the CW panel. We live-RTed many of the critics in attendance and we’re collecting some of the commentary here. (And be jealous of the nifty planners the CW handed our, featuring network characters/quotes.)

Alas, Supernatural snagged both the Favorite Network TV Drama and Favorite Sci-Fi/Fantasy Show, and Favorite TV Drama Actor went to Nathan Fillion. On the other hand, big congratulations are in order for Nina Dobrev, who took home the award for Favorite TV Drama Actress! Since she was also the first write-in nominee ever to make the ballot, that’s a pretty big deal. Way to go, fandom! Congratulations, Nina! Thanks to Nina Dobrev Network for the video clip.
Ian Somerhalder and Paul Wesley (looking fantastic!) presented the award for Favorite Comedy Movie. Hopefully video will surface later. UPDATED: Thanks to Nina Dobrev Network for video!

The Insider has an exclusive behind the scenes peek at the filming of Our Town (EP311), tomorrow night’s new episode of The Vampire Diaries. Along with the usual set photos, Kat Graham provides some teases:
Of the new set Our Town spotlights, Kat tells me, “It’s a very cool location we’ve never filmed in before and it’s important that people pay attention. You should pay attention to everything on this show because it always circles back into play somehow.”

TV Guide has an exclusive first look at guest star Torrey DeVitto as Dr. Mary Fell, a doctor who is “intrigued by Alaric” because of his seemingly miraculous healing powers. (And maybe she’s interested in him for personal reasons, too?) She will first appear in The New Deal (EP310) when The Vampire Diaries returns on January 5.
SEE THE FULL PHOTOGRAPH AT TV GUIDE.

If the winter hiatus is getting you down, we’ve got just the thing to perk you up a bit. Steven R. McQueen is featured in the latest issue of Bello Magazine (it’ll be out on December 15th!), and you’ll definitely want to get your hands on a copy. You can see some of the pictures and get a hint about the article here at Socialite Life.
Joseph Morgan is also turning heads again, this time over at TV Guide, where he was named one of the best breakout stars of 2011. Congratulations to Joseph on the well-earned nod!
