  • Happy Birthday to Benedict Cumberbatch. He has at least two reasons to be happy, and probably lots more than that.
On the altruistic side of things, a story in Britain’s  Radio Times says that fans of Benedict Cumberbatch, who turns 36 today, have raised 7,000 British pounds ($11,087.15  Canadian, $11,009.75 U.S.) in his name for the Teenage Cancer Trust, a charity that helps teenagers who have cancer.

On the showbiz side, Sherlock, the BBC’s (very) mini-series (it only shoots three episodes at a time) has been nominated for 13 (!!!) categories in television’s Emmy Awards. Sherlock is shown on PBS in the U.S.
The Radio Times (once again) says that: “Along with a nomination in the Outstanding Miniseries or Movie category, Sherlock is also recognized for its costuming, writing, directing, casting, cinematography, editing, music, sound mixing, sound editing, art direction and cinematography.”
Check out the Radio Times article, Cumberbatch fans, it has photographs of the actor in his  Sherlock garb, alongside his co-star Martin Freeman (Dr. Watson.)
I will have more Cumberbatch news in the near future,  but other gazette tasks are calling me now.
