4:04 [Comment From ElRamuuusa]

4:04 Tom O\'Neil: Yes, Edward, it would -- glad y ou could join us
lol alex why r u weirded out ryan is actually from the same city im in right now
Well I also hope Stephen Moyer gets nominated as well
Hi Shad!!
When are the Emmy nods announced?
wondering what Anna is listening to these days
Anna will win against Holly Hunter. Anna's character is so much more dramatic and
complex.
Anna has the BEST scream! Do you all agree?
When is this thing starting?
Just like the Best Supporting Actress in 1994 (Holly was up for two that year and
won Lead)
We'll see how long I last.. I'm not big on the live chat thing :)
4:05 [Comment From ben]
maryland is here to show its support for vampires
Alex: The Piano
i dont know his southern accent is so well done
4:05 [Comment From sara :)]
is this working?
omg anna paquin is online on facebook!
4:05 [Comment From Anna Paquin]
hello
4:05 [Comment From Carole]
That's not what ironic means. Ironic does not mean 'coincidental."
His accent is very good, took me by surprise too
4:05 Tom O\'Neil: Hi Anna!
so is stephen moyers though and hes a brit
4:05 [Comment From unkie469]

4:05 [Comment From Animal Lover]

Wish I could stay. Anna you rule!
yup sara is working
4:06 Tom O\'Neil:
Welcome!
wouldn't it be cool if both Anna and Steve were nominated and won this year!
4:06 Anna Paquin: thank you
4:06 [Comment From Anna Paquin]

hi
Yes, Anna can scream and cry like no other.
4:06 Tom O\'Neil: First question. When you, being an Oscar champ, first heard about the
concept of "True Blood," were you skeptical about doing a vampire show? Or did
you think, "Hey, that looks like fun!"?
anna doesnt have facebook its a fake
its probally not her.
hi
hi!!!!!
Hey anna
hi
Hi Anna!!
hello :)
welcome!
hy Anna
4:06 [Comment From Oscar]
hi anna!
Hi Anna, I love the Show
4:06 Anna Paquin: i pursued true blood so when i heard i got the part i was thrilled

hi anna
Hello Anna, you have the BEST SCREAM!
Hi Anna!
Hi Anna
Hey anna, what are you listening to these days music stuff...
hi anna
Woohoo! My question is how does Sookie's telepathy influence the character?
hi anna!
4:07 Anna Paquin: i do scream a lot on the show lol
4:07 Tom O\'Neil: Wouldn't it be ironic if you're nominated against your "Piano" costar
Holly Hunter ("Saving Grace")????
4:07 [Comment From Darrell Y.]
Hi Anna, did you know Stephen Moyer before True Blood or did you become
romantically linked while filming season one? Any talk of marriage? :)
hi Anna
4:07 Anna Paquin: loving fleet foxes and fiona apple
Hi Anna...love your work
Hi Anna. Welcome!
Hi, Anna! thanks for doing this.
Hi Anna! So happy to meet you...virtually of course
Hi Anna, welcome.
4:07 [Comment From Playbill]
Anna, we love you!
Hello Anna!
4:07 Anna Paquin: that would be an amazing compliment be in her category
4:07 [Comment From Eileen]

Hi anna-an honnor!
Hi, Anna
Anna, we lov e the show!
dude its so her
4:07 Tom O\'Neil: Anna, just grab the questions from those poppin up and answer which
ones you want
Hi Anna! I ue Blood.
i have anna online!
hi anna!
4:08 [Comment From Roxana]
One of my favorite of Anna's performances is in the 25th hour, esp. her XTC trip in
the nightclub. Now a vampire, it is clear she can travel into several types of
characters. Anna, can you define any similarities in the characters that you choose to
play?
4:08 [Comment From Green]
Hi Anna
hi ana
4:08 Anna Paquin:
ok will try to answer as many as pos

4:08 [Comment From Krista]
I thought she wasn't supposed to start chatting until 8pm
4:08 Tom O\'Neil: Are you aware of the Curse of the Vampires at the Emmys? Even
though EVERY TV critic in America fumed at the Emmys to nominate "Buffy"
Sarah Michelle Gellar, she never got nommed, poor thing. Maybe Emmy voters are
snobs?
this is confusing stop saying hi already!
Moderator there are two ANNA PAQUIN on here
this is the only vampire show or movie i've ever watched and loved
hu
4:08 [Comment From Send]
Does Alan Ball have a large input to your character?
4:08 Anna Paquin: i am not aware of any curse
And may I just say Anna that you are so beautiful!!
Anna, you gave one of the best Oscar acceptance speeches
looks like i'm going to be running the house anymore
Hey Anna! great job on True blood.
4:08 Tom O\'Neil: You'll break it, I have a good hunch
4:08 [Comment From Ashley]
Hi Anna! I love the show and Sookie!!
4:08 [Comment From Jackie]
Did you pursue True Blood b/c you're a fan of the books?
yay fleet foxes love
do you own any pets?
4:09 Anna Paquin: alan ball is pretty much god as far as our show is concerned so that
would be a huge yes
4:09 [Comment From Juliet]
hi anna, my friend wants to know what the fake blood tastes like
4:09 [Comment From Oscar]
Anna! What's it like filming those intense scenes where you have to scream in pain
for so long???
4:09 Tom O\'Neil: You've been in the Emmy game before – with "Wounded Knee." Now
you may get nominated twice, including a bid for "Courageous Heart of Irena
Sendler." But you may have to send some vampires after those "Grey Gardens" gals
radiohead Anna?
Do you watch any tv shows? If so, which ones?
4:09 Anna Paquin: fake blood tastes like congealed gooey jam that has been pureed
4:09 [Comment From Scott]
Anna Paquin, did it take any type of coaxing did it take for you to do the nude
scenes? Is it something you were looking forward to doing?
4:09 [Comment From Donna]
Hi Anna. Are you going to working on any projects during your hiatus from True
blood
4:09 [Comment From Freddy Mac]
Can you write about the impact of winning an Oscar at such a young age had?
4:10 Anna Paquin: i'm really just focused on finishing season two awards are not really
on my mind
4:10 Anna Paquin: i have no prob with the nudity
Is Sookie one of you favorite characters? She seems complex.
anna how is working with such a diverse cast?
just remembering you were in Hurly Burly, how crazy was it to act with sean penn
and kevin spacey and all those guys?
Are there any characteristics of Sookie’s that you wish that you had? Or you are glad
that you don’t have?
Hi Anna, what are you working on during the hiatus?
Are you guys done filming, this season?
4:10 Anna Paquin: i knew what i was getting myself into lol
im not a native of california, but have to travel there quite often for work. what do
you think of california (west coast) in comparison to the east coast (NY)
4:10 [Comment From Julie K]
Since you pursued the part - are you a fan of the book series? Are you reading ahead
to see what's in store?
I love you so much. have you ever been to hungary?
what's the best thing about working with Alexander Skarsgard?
How does Sookie's telepathy influence the character?
Anna: So how has it been doing a regular show? Have you been enjoying it
more/less than doing movies in terms of regular schedule, etc?
Hi Anna, Are there any other films your working on?
I loved you in Fly Away Home. Any good memories from that film?
What attracted you to play Sookie?
If you could be any supernatural creature in the True Blood universe, what would it
be and why?
have u read any of the books? if you have which are your favorites?
if you had to choose vampire or shapeshifter?
4:11 Anna Paquin: aaaaahh sorry i'm not able to read and type at the same time....
Sookie is miine
4:11 PatrickDay: We'll slow it down a bit.
4:12 Tom O\'Neil: yeah, patrick, good idea
4:12 [Comment From Teddy]
This is insane
4:12 Anna Paquin: sookie gets to do so much cool shit. she is in action scenes,
romance, drama all of it

Tom: Dark Shadows was nominated for a daytime Emmy... does that count? :)
4:12 [Comment From Jackie]
did you pursue True Blood b/c you enjoyed the books?
4:12 Anna Paquin: its really like i get to play every possible "type" of female character
on one show
4:12 Anna Paquin: i read the books while trying to get the part
4:13 [Comment From Leiana]
Do you film in New Orleans?
alright i'm leaving. nice to meet you Anna. Great Work!
4:13 Anna Paquin: we have filmed in shreveport
4:13 Tom O\'Neil: you're right, Edward! So there's true Emmy hope for "True Blood"
4:13 Anna Paquin: we go to baton rouge next week
Don't you want to Kiss Sheriff Eric.. He's so Hot
Anna did you get a chance to meet Ms. Sendler while filming THe Courageous
Heart?
4:13 Anna Paquin: sookie is not eric's biggest fan!!!
What's coming up for you in the movies?
4:14 Anna Paquin:
ms sendler had already passed when i came onto to project so sadly no

4:14 [Comment From Rob L]
Hi all! Well done Anna on what appears to be an even better second season so far.
Just wanted to throw that in the mix.
4:14 Anna Paquin: right now my whole world is true blood
4:14 Tom O\'Neil: That's a good world
Are there any characteristics of Sookie’s that you wish that you had? Or you are glad
that you don’t have?
4:14 Anna Paquin: don't know what the hiatus will bring just yet
4:14 Anna Paquin: glad i'm not a telepath
4:14 [Comment From Randall]
When are you going to tread the boards in NYC again? Us theatergoers would love
to see you do another play.
4:14 Anna Paquin: wish i was naturally tan and blonde
Anna, do they clear the set when you do the sex scenes?
4:15 Anna Paquin: i would love to do another play asap
i arrange my sunday schedule around TB. There will be a third season, right? I
cannot live without this show!
4:15 Tom O\'Neil: OMG, you're not a true blonde! Stop presses!
4:15 jessicagelt: I'm shocked, too! Hooray for hair dye.
Anna, how do you feel that Trick 'R Treat is finally seeing a release? And will you be
doing any projects once Season 2 wraps? Like a film or perhaps another play?
Do you watch any tv shows? If so, which ones?
oh dear the poor girl's brain is gonna explode
4:16 Anna Paquin: the funny part about sex scenes on tb is that there is usually some
kind of special effect fang/blood gag at some point so it kind of odd when you are
lying there all naked and someone has to run in and insert fangs or blood.....
so kind a clear but we have a lot of essential crew

any special plans for your upcoming birthday?
You were terrific in "Walk on the Moon"... did you enjoy working with Diane Lane
and Viggo Mortensen?
4:17 Anna Paquin: trick r treat was such a blast to do. my mate mike dougherty who
wrote and directed it is amazing and twisted and i'm glad people will get to see this
film
You are not alone in not being able to read and type simultaneously!
sooo many questions.....
4:17 Anna Paquin: thank you debbie
what was the first thing you thought when you read the script of true blood
does sookie have any tattoos
4:18 Anna Paquin: i didn't have much to do with viggo but diane rocks!!!
4:18 [Comment From Claire]
Hi Anna. Did they ask you to go blonde for the part of Sookie? Or was that
something you brought to the character?
4:18 Anna Paquin: no tats for sook but i have a couple
4:18 [Comment From Diane]
Is there any particular actor or actress you would like to work with in the future?
godbless her for the patience to endure our badgering. Still wondering what it was
like working with the cast on Hurly Burly
4:18 Anna Paquin: sookie is blonde in the books so hbo did a major makeover
Anna, do you still wear your Billsbabe Shirt?
sookie is the best!! i love her friendship with tara. that picture of them as kids was so
adorable
how is anna's real life what are your hobbies, dreams and goals
4:19 Anna Paquin: hurly burly was amazing and intimidating and such a massive
learning experience it was a master class in acting
4:19 [Comment From Green]

Anna, you've probably been asked this question a million times over, but were you at
all aware of the impact the show would have? There have been several vampire
shows over the last decade, but none of them as popular at True Blood (of course
Buffy has become an institution in its own right), do you think the show will have a
lasting effect?
4:19 [Comment From Danielle]
What has been your favorite scene to film this season? Have we seen it yet?
4:19 Anna Paquin: bills babe shirt and i like to work out together
its HOT in Baton Rouge
No, No, NO...only kiss Bill!! LOL!!
4:20 [Comment From Rob L]
Is it weird that there are so many non-American accents on set Anna? (You, Stephen,
Ryan)...
do you get to go to Dallas?
4:20 Anna Paquin: well it was like mosquito soup this time last year in shreveport so i'm
guessing we are in for more of the same in b.r.
4:20 [Comment From AAM]
Were you familiar with Alan Ball's work on SIX FEET UNDER before pursuing
your role on TRUE BLOOD, and in particular, his gift for multi-dimensional
characterizations?
4:21 [Comment From Krista]
sookie and sam are SO meant to be together...
would you choose shapeshifter or vampire?
4:21 Anna Paquin: i have seen every episode of sfu at least three times
Anna, how involved is Alan Ball with the show? Is he there for every episode?
4:21 Anna Paquin:
alan is a dream to work with/for

4:21 [Comment From Lou]
Anna, I've always enjoyed your work, but I think you're doing the best stuff of your
career on "True Blood." How do you like the HOB show schedule where you
basically work half the year and have the rest of it for outside projects?
Will you and the cast be attending Comic Con 2009?
4:21 Anna Paquin: alan is involved on every level of every ep from start to finish
after playing Sookie it would be good to switch things up and play a nun
4:22 Tom O\'Neil: aren't you just a LITTLE BIT creeped out by Alan's fondness for TV
shows about dead people???? haaaaaaaa
4:22 [Comment From Misty]
I am glad you play Sookie..Thank you!
4:22 Anna Paquin: comic con true blood panel is july 25, we are ALL coming
4:22 Anna Paquin:
WHAT'S WRONG WITH DEAD PEOPLE!!!!????

what is it like to work with your real life boyfriend
You look great in both colors.
4:22 Tom O\'Neil: Nothing! Nothing! The Walking Dead are really KEWL
Tom: LOL!
You wear blonde very well
Do you watch any tv shows besides true blood?
4:23 Anna Paquin: steve and i have a pretty ideal set up as far as personal/work life
4:23 [Comment From Pam]
everything's so damn sultry in Louisiana-does the humidity bother you...it sure helps
spice up the scenes with the glistening bodies!
Are you an Eric or a Bill fan?
Anna, I'd love to know the name of your colourist. Your blonde is stunning!
4:24 Anna Paquin: BILL ALL THE WAY!!!
4:24 [Comment From taloson]
Hey Anna! How has HBO responded to the show thus far? Do you know if they plan
on many seasons?
You look beautiful the way you are.
What do You want to happen between Bill And Sookie? Marriage? Kids if possible
4:24 [Comment From Melissa1118]
I'm dying to see who they cast for future characters like Quinn & Alcide!
Anna, did you watch Alex's music video with Lady Gaga?
4:24 Anna Paquin: TRACEY CUNINGHAM!!!!! THE GO TO LADY FOR BLONDE
IN LOS ANGELES/PLANET EARTH. (i may have spelled that wrong)
how do they make the fangs pop out
4:25 [Comment From Vytas]
How do you stay fit? Yoga? Pilates?
4:25 [Comment From marcie]
Do you have a myspace account or are they just posers?
anything you feel you've sacrificed given fame and notoriety?
4:25 Anna Paquin:
the fangs are on a plate that gets put into the mouth and then they do a cgi effect to
have them pop
4:25 [Comment From jordan]
Hi Anna, Any odd encounters with vampire fanatics?
4:26 [Comment From mary]
I love your body of work. You have made Sookie an Icon. \When do you have time
to work and read scripts for Paquin Films. How are scripts submitted to your
production company?
4:26 Anna Paquin: i work out A LOT!! yoga pilates boxing anything that involves
moving
4:26 Tom O\'Neil: the popping action is a hoot
4:26 Anna Paquin: I DO NOT HAVE A MY SPACE ACCOUNT!!!!
4:26 Tom O\'Neil: So, in other words, don't mess with Anna ...
4:27 Anna Paquin: um yeah i'm pretty strong....
do you feel a difference with tv and theatre?
I want to know hoe it feels to win an oscar at such a young age, I mean at the
moment maybe you didnt realized how big it was, but then one day you were like...
WOW!!! ???
4:27 [Comment From Mike]
Do all of the actors hang out after filming? Who is your BFF on set?
4:27 Anna Paquin: acting is acting no matter the medium
4:27 [Comment From Jen]

Were you surprised when you won the golden globes? you deserved it
How do you like living in Los Angeles these days? Or do you really only get to work
when you are here?
4:28 Anna Paquin: the gg shocked the hell out of me, i don't ever expect stuff like that
Do you wish Bubba was in True Blood. Since he was a big part in the books?
4:28 Tom O\'Neil: Did you have an acceptance speech ready at Globes? Just in case?

Hi, Anna, I so much enjoy your great performance on True Blood. Do you know if
HBO has OK'ed a third season?
i would love to see you onstage- are there any characters you'd love to play?
4:29 Anna Paquin: no official word on season three. so please keep watching and keep
your fingers crossed (YES THAT IS A SHAMELESS PLUG)
4:29 [Comment From Jordan Catalano]

4:30 [Comment From Storiz]
Sookie is great! have you ever been to Comic-Con, Anna? For "X-Men" or
something?
4:30 [Comment From Alexxxxx]
does the way Bill says 'sookie is MINE' hilarious or is it just me?
4:30 Anna Paquin: i really admire all the women on my show.
since you have read the books, do u get as mad as i do when they switch things up?
the stroy is still great and entertaining though and so are u! :]
4:31 [Comment From Jenny]
You are a wonderful actress. good luck at the emmy's!

4:31 Anna Paquin: i think rutina, deborah, mishka, and carrie are all extroadinary
4:31 [Comment From marcie]
good to know about the myspace! They had stephen proposing the other night. it was
hilarious!
Have you had any frightening crazed fan/press experiences? Not that you're actually
frightened...
4:31 Anna Paquin: yeah i love reading things about my life that are FICTION
Anna, I love that you're a Billsbabe. Hello from a fellow one! Will Sookie get beat
up in every episode this year? I hope Sam provides really good medical insurance at
Merlotte's.
Were you a michael jackson fan?
Anna - how long does it take to shoot a season of TB?
love your work I am a true fan of your keep it up LV U
4:32 [Comment From Jordan]
Hi Anna, Would you ever work with Spike Lee again? What was that experience
like?
4:32 [Comment From Pat from The Casitas]
On a total social note, what is your favorite place to dine--dive or shi shi?!
4:32 Anna Paquin: i while back someone posed as me on facebook and said i was in
hospital. which was funny because i was on set at the time and have never been in
hospital since i was born.
thought it was a bit thoughtless because if that info trickled out to friends or family
they would be worried... ya know?
4:33 [Comment From Michelle]
In my opinion, most of the female fans of the show are Bill fans, but most of the fans
of the books are Eric fans. Do you see this being a potential source of conflict?
4:33 Anna Paquin: love spike lee, would love to work with him again
i was so happy that you won
4:33 [Comment From Darrell Y.]
Living in LA are you a LA Lakers fan?
4:33 [Comment From MrReynolds]

You must have a nice car, that seems to make LA that much more tolerable
4:33 Anna Paquin: the globe and oscar are on a counter top in our bedroom
I hate alka seltzer! But it looked great
4:34 Anna Paquin: i don't know how to drive.

4:34 Anna Paquin: i do have a hello kitty beach cruiser

4:35 [Comment From Ryan]
Anna, what is going on with your movie Margaret? How does a movie with such a
great cast have such a long delay?
4:36 [Comment From Jennifer]
TB Rocks. I love it. My question: In watching the show, the cast jibes so well, like
you all have been friends for years. Did you guys do anything special to get to know
one another before shooting?
4:36 Anna Paquin: you would have to ask ryan that!!! i am not a dating service!! or
gossip column
Speaking of vampire children, What does Sookie really think of Bill's 'daughter'?
Thanks Anna I Love the show... Keep up the good work.
4:36 [Comment From Sam]

actress?

4:37 Anna Paquin:

I know you're getting like 8 million questions right now-haha. I was wondering what
its like acclimating to a southern character being British? Did you do any research?

I remember when you won the academy award for The Piano. That must feel like
ages ago. Do you even remember the experience?
I'm going to "Fangtasia" this weekend!
4:39 [Comment From Tiyen]
Do you protect Stephen from the sun (as he's supposed to refrain from getting a
tan?).
4:39 Anna Paquin: the paparazzi thing is a little odd. but it's part of what you sign up
for with the whole acting thing.
i don't do anything all that interesting so i still can't understand why anyone wants to
take my picture .....
4:39 [Comment From Kay]
You brother said you'll be cameoing in his new movie which involves driving?
4:39 [Comment From JackieTomlinson]

Does your shooting schedule require you to be nocturnal six months out of the year?
And if so, how do you tan?
4:40 Anna Paquin: we shot it this morning!! in his garage "poor mans process"
Would you be open to doing a big-screen movie version of "True Blood"?

True Blood that arent like the book.
4:40 [Comment From Andy]

4:40 Anna Paquin: i tried out for loads of roles i didn't get!!! rejection is 90% of my job
