From the NY Post:

One of The Golden Globes most memorable moments was Michael C. Hall’s victory in the Best Actor, TV Series Drama category for his wonderful work on “Dexter.” Not only was this win long overdue, but the timing was even sweeter following last week’s admission that Michael’s been receiving treatment for Hodgkin’s lymphoma.

However, at least one person in the Shrine Auditorium might have felt that sympathy factored in to Michael’s win, his category rival, Bill Paxton. I’m no lip reader, but it looks suspiciously like the “Big Love” loser says something about “the cancer card” when the camera cuts to him during Michael’s walk to the podium.

Here’s the video: Moment in question comes at 1:43. I’ve watched it like 5 times, and I SWEAR he says “the cancer card”. What a messed up thing to say!!!

Scoring a Golden Globe Sunday night, Michael C. Hall was in high enough spirits to joke about his recent cancer treatment.

Hall arrived wearing a black knit cap to cover up the effects of treatment at his first public appearance since announcing he had Hodgkin’s lymphoma last week.

“It’s nice to have a justifiable excuse for accessorizing,” he joked, according to the British paper, the Telegraph.

“I found this Japanese hat,” Hall added. “I wanted something that was pretty simple, but maybe a little fancier than your normal thing.”

The 38-year-old “Dexter” actor won his first Golden Globe ever for playing a serial killer on the hit Showtime series.

He took the stage to loud applause but made no mention of his illness in his acceptance speech, in which gave credit to the show’s entire team. “It’s a dream job and I’m so grateful,” said the actor, who also thanked his wife, “Dexter” co-star Jennifer Carpenter.

Backstage, Hall spoke candidly about being sick. “When it’s a matter of health, it is very much a personal matter,” he said, as quoted by EW.com. “I had every intention of keeping it quiet, but because the award shows were imminent, I figured I’d make a statement.

“It was also nice to assure people that I was really on the road to recovery,” he added.

It was a good night for “Dexter” as well as for Hall. His costar John Lithgow won for best supporting actor on a TV series.
