From Access Hollywood comes Jonathan’s reaction to his 3rd Golden Globe nomination:
“I am thrilled and humbled to be nominated among all of these amazing actors. ‘Henry’ is such a great character to play and I am so happy that people watch and enjoy the show.”
- Jonathan Rhys Meyers, nominated for Best Actor in a Television Series — Drama for “The Tudors”
Additionally, from Australian Vogue, comes more details about the new Hugo Boss ad campaign, starring Jonathan:
Hugo Boss launches new men’s fragrance
Jonathan Rhys Meyers would have to be the Alex Perry of the luxury advertising business. The Irish actor/model has his pretty face in every pie having starred in the Versace fashion house campaigns for several seasons and now pouts regularly for Hugo Boss fragrances.
The star’s latest role sees him storming the streets of Buenos Aires for the Hugo Element scent: a fresh, marine-scented juice housed in a sporty oxygen tank designed for the urban man. It’s a role that sits well with the self-confessed big city dweller. “I’m a born urbanite. The urban environment feels familiar to me and whichever city I visit, I somehow seem to find my way around it instinctively,” he says.
Here’s hoping a spritz of the Hugo Element scent will help Rhys Meyers find his way to Australia when it launches here in March 2009.
According to Cosmetic News, this campaign will include TV, print, and internet advertising featuring Jonathan.

The Primetime Emmy Award nominations were announced today. “The Tudors” only received 2 nominations for Outstanding Casting For A Drama Series and Outstanding Costumes For A Series. Funny they were nominated for Outstanding Casting but no actors were recognized for their work on the series. Sadly, even Peter O’Toole got snubbed. What a shame!
For the first time, the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences has announced the top 10 finalists for Best Drama and Best Comedy series. In previous years, lists would leak based on insider information and speculation. This year, the Academy has officially released the list.
“The Tudors” has made it to the top 10 list for Best Drama series for the first time. It was widely known that it did not make the top 10 list last year. This weekend, the top 10 list will be whittled down to just 5 nominees after each episode is viewed by special judges (their rankings are combined with the popular votes already received).
The full list of Emmy nominations will be announced the morning of July 17. Here’s the list of 10 finalists:
TOP 10 DRAMA SERIES FINALISTS
“Boston Legal” (”The Court Supreme”)
“Damages” (Pilot)
“Dexter” (”The Dark Defender”)
“Friday Night Lights” (”Leave No One Behind”)
“Grey’s Anatomy” (”Freedom, Parts 1 and 2″)
“House” (”Frozen”)
“Lost” (”The Constant”)
“Mad Men” (Pilot, “Smoke Gets in Your Eyes”) “The Tudors” (#205)
“The Wire” (Series finale, “30″)
The 2008 Teen Choice Awards nominees were announced today and “August Rush” received a nod for Choice Movie: Drama. It’s up against “21″, “Into the Wild”, “Step Up 2: The Streets” and “Stop-Loss”. Keri Russell was also nominated for Choice Movie Actress: Drama for her role in “August Rush”. You can vote online at TeenChoiceAwards.com.
