Manatee633 Posted December 4, 2005 I am so happy that Orlando's acting has finally been rewarded. It's about time. I hope there are many more awards to come. Thanks for posting this. *anxiously waiting to see if Orlando attends* I know I can always count on my fellow kabloomies to keep us posted. ~Mollie~ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ganymede Posted December 4, 2005 Thank you so much rebecca for finding this!! I'm so happy for Orlando! He worked so hard at this role. He deserves the hardware! I believe! :crusader: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Twinks Posted December 4, 2005 This is completely wonderful for our boy! I am thrilled to pieces. I really thought his acting roll might be passed over. It was a quiet, emotional part - so much done with the tone of his voice and the look on his face. I am so please that there are people out there that see it as the outstanding job it was.

HeySailor Posted December 4, 2005 This is the Jameson Whiskey thing we voted for yonks back? You betcha, MM. Yea Orlando! He won one of the three People's Choice Awards. Unfortunately, the other two nominees that I was backing weren't as successful. I never quite knew when the voting was stopped - I had it bookmarked and voted every day. Orlando may not be in acting for the awards but it is very nice that his performance was recognized. 'Bout time, says I. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
