Something to Shout About Department:
If you wanna see a truly gracious and funny acceptance speech (especially the wunnerful not being "4th Best Actor" retort)
drive your Jaguar over to witness Edward Woodward wins Golden Globe for The Equalizer 1986 at www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPIJzDkCHhI.
Granted, no it's not the Emmy he shoulda been awarded for all four seasons but it's rich recognition nonetheless ...

Equaliser star joins EastEnders
Edward Woodward, famous for his roles in cult horror The Wicker Man and The Equaliser, is joining EastEnders.
His character, Tommy Clifford, is being brought in for a specific storyline involving Patrick Trueman which will run for several weeks.
EastEnders chief, Diederick Santer said: "On the surface, this is a warm, charming and engaging man but there are other much darker things going on."
78-year-old Woodward has started filming and will be on-screen in March.
The actor made a name for himself in the television spy series Callan which ran during the late 1960s and early 1970s.
He had a central role in the film The Wicker Man, as the devout Christian police officer drawn to investigating the disappearance of a young girl on a sinister island of pagan cult members.
Then, in the 1980s, he gained international attention when he starred in the American show, The Equalizer, this time as an ex-spy working as a gun-for-hire.
His EastEnders character Tommy stealthily draws out details of Patrick's past for less than honourable reasons.
Santer said that the actor, who has been a fan of EastEnders for many years, was perfect for the role.
"Edward shades in all those layers, and I hope the audience are as fascinated watching him at work as I have been", he said.
