A video of Michael Sheen on the red carpet of last night’s Primetime Emmy awards has been added to the Video Gallery.

Sadly, as reported earlier, Michael Sheen was unsuccessful in his nominated category of Lead Actor in a Drama or Miniseries, which was won by Al Pacino.

Most of you will already know by now, but unfortunately Michael Sheen did not win his nominated category of Lead Actor in a miniseries, at the Primetime Emmy’s last night.

I think I can say for us all that we are bitterly disappointed but he was in a category with some extremely talented and strong candidates. I think most people would struggle to beat the winner, Al Pacino, in an awards race.   This year was just not his time.
