True Blood season 4 premieres in Hollywood [PHOTOS]
Television's famous pack of creatures and southern belles return for their fourth season on HBO, and cast members arrive in excitement.
The fourth season of HBO's True Blood is on its way, and Anna Paquin, along with co-stars Stephen Moyer, Rutina Wesley, Alexander Skarsgard, Deborah Woll and Rachel Evan Wood all attend the premiere at Hollywood's Cinerama Dome. True Blood's plot revolves around Paquin's character Sookie Stackhouse, a bar waitress who fell in love with ageless vampire Bill Compton (Moyer) in a fictional setting of Bon Temps. Stackhouse then discovers a plethora of mythical creatures that take over the small town, and with Compton on her side, they pair to survive the ill-ridden dark adventure. Paquin, who arrived in a black and purple sheer dress, clutched the arms of his on-screen partner Stephen Moyer as they pose for promotional photos. Paquin and Moyer, a real couple, fell in love on the set of the show and got married last year.
The show's creator, Alan Ball, is also responsible for penning the critically-acclaimed HBO series Six Feet Under. Ball also wrote the Academy Award-winning movie American Beauty and the cult feature Towelhead. Since its first release in 2008, True Blood has won numerous awards and citations from various award giving bodies. Notable wins include a 2010 Emmy award for Outstanding Cast in a Drama Series, and Anna Paquin's 2009 Best Actress in a Drama Series Golden Globe. Paquin is also the second youngest actress to win an Oscar at the age of 11. She won Best Supporting Actress for the 1993 movie The Piano.
The fourth season of True Blood will premiere on June 26.
