Feb 9 - Almighty Johnsons Awards Nominations
As fans await the return of The Almighty
Johnsons, the show has scooped three nominations in 2012 TV Guide Best on the
Box Awards.
The comedy-drama is in the running
for the Best Drama Series award. The show’s cast have also received nods with Tim
Balme (Mike Johnson) in contention for Best Actor, and Emmett Skilton (Axl
Johnson) up of the Rising Star award.
Fans wishing to cast their vote
can do so by following this link until March 5.
The show, which is due to
return to TV3 soon, has been filming a second series in and around Auckland over the summer.
Filming is currently in its
final week, and cast and crew have already seen a special screening of the
first episode. A representative of the show says that there are “lots of
pleased people” following the viewing.
While the plot of second
series remains under wraps we can reveal one change since the first series
aired last year.
Dean O’Gorman, who plays the
silver-tongued Anders Johnson, has been sporting a rather bushy beard.
The facial-fuzz is a result
of O’Gorman’s commitments in the Peter Jackson directed epic, The Hobbit, which
is also currently in production.
