Bad news TV Scoopers. One of our favourites, Michael C. Hall, has got cancer. When an actor or TV personality gets ill, as TV critics, we're forced into being nice to make up for all the nasty things we've said to them (and besides, it isn't really a time for joking is it?) That said, this news is particularly sad because he's so damn good (Dexter, Six Feet Under anyone?).

Michael announced that he has been diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma. Michael said he was fortunate enough to be diagnosed with a "treatable and curable" condition. He's almost finished with treatment and said the cancer is in remission. He plans to continue to undergo treatment.

Michael's rep also said that he's not going to let the illness get in the way and that he plans to attend the Golden Globes this Sunday with his wife/on-screen sister Jennifer Carpenter.

Michael is up for Best Actor in a Drama.
