Here is a little scoopage to get us by through our long hiatus. I like the sound of it!

Question: I am dying for some Justified scoop. Got any? —Dayna
Ausiello: Boyd Crowder is so over playing Mr. Nice Guy. According to portrayer Walton Goggins, the old Boyd “will be back in full [in Season 3], and he will probably be in trouble sooner rather than later. There is no more shyness or healing to Boyd Crowder.”

Nobody was having a harder time dealing with the heat of the afternoon than “Justified’s” Walton Goggins, who was sweating buckets as he made the rounds. But he wasn’t about to stop doing his duty because he’ll take any chance to talk up the show and the character, Boyd Crowder, that he loves so much. Although he’s as intense as it gets, Goggins loves the dark humor that the scribes inject to the character. And he loves doing that distinctive voice, which he credits to the inspiration of Elmore Leonard’s words. “Elmore Leonard is just so cool, and Timothy Olyphant is cool, and so when these words started coming out of my mouth I knew I had to find a way to make them sound cool, and poetic.”

Emmy winner Margo Martindale had a rooting section at the ceremony: her Justified colleagues. “Margo, Margo, Margo! We just screamed and jumped out of our seats,” said co-star Walton Goggins, also an Emmy nominee for the FX drama. “We couldn’t be happier. She has been working so long and it is like icing on the cake of her career.”

As for his character, Boyd Crowder, Goggins promises: “Boyd Crowder is going to get loud this year.”

Tim Appelo and Stacey Wilson of The Hollywood Reporter predict the shows and performers that will walk away with TV’s biggest honor.

SUPPORTING ACTOR, DRAMA SERIES
Who Will: Walton Goggins. Alan Cumming is a comer on The Good Wife, Peter Dinklage rules Game of Thrones, but Goggins is deeper and better, and the academy knows it blew it by snubbing him on The Shield, and his time is now.
Who Should: Walton Goggins, though Dinklage wouldn’t break critics’ hearts if he stole it.

Fingers crossed!

I’ve added more photos to both events Walton attended from September 10th and 11th. All of which are high quality.

“Justified’s” Walton Goggins likened his first Emmy nomination to being a baby — or rather, the child-like wonder of experiencing something new.

“I have an 8-month-old son, and I’m reminded that there are so many firsts in life,” Goggins said during a roundtable discussion with fellow first-time Emmy nominees. “Every single day, something new is happening in his life … and this experience for me has been one that I’ll never forget, because it may very well never happen again, and that would be OK. But it’s been an extraordinary type of experience.”

Goggins was joined by Josh Charles, Michelle Forbes and Johnny Galecki in the roundtable, which was moderated by Los Angeles Times TV critic Mary McNamara last week in anticipation of this weekend’s 63rd Primetime Emmy Awards

Goggins (“Justified”) and Charles (“The Good Wife”) will battle it out in the supporting actor in a drama category. Michelle Forbes (“The Killing”) is holding her own in the supporting actress in a drama category. In the comedic corner, Johnny Galecki (“The Big Bang Theory”) received his first Emmy nomination for lead actor in a comedy.

Walton Goggins is adjusting to walking down red carpets and aisles. The actor and Oscar-winning producer (Best Short Film, The Accountant) recently received a Prime Time Emmy nomination for his turn as Boyd Crowder, a deep-fried and outspoken white supremacist on FX’s Justified and has recently joined the cast for the sequel G.I. Joe 2: Retaliation as Warden Nigel James.

Goggins also costarred in the summer popcorn flick Cowboys & Aliens. Soon to turn 40, the Lithia Springs, Georgia native just last month exchanged wedding vows with his longtime girlfriend filmmaker Nadia Conners (The 11th Hour) with their seven-month-old son Augustus serving as best man.

Many critics and fans of The Shield, on which Goggins portrayed the smarmy Shane Vendrell, point out that the recent nod is long overdue as Hollywood suits take notice. Steven Spielberg cast him as Ohio Congressman (D) Wells A. Hutchins in the undoubtedly epic Lincoln with a 2012 production date. Goggins told UTR that he’s pleased to finally play someone who is articulate and wears a suit, that his career almost didn’t happen and that he doesn’t foresee a full night’s sleep on the horizon. And he’s grateful for every single emotion and speed bump life brings his way.

Q: Are you tired of playing rednecks and a lot of corruptible fellows?

A: I quite like playing people that appear to be one way at first glance and surprise you by infiltrating your sensitive side and you wind up kind of feeling for them in a way that you never anticipated. It’s an interesting dynamic with an interesting trajectory to be a part of. By playing Boyd Crowder and really exploring how smart he is, those things have started to open up to me and I’m grateful for that.

Q: Did David Legrant (the late acting coach) almost derail your career?

A: Ha! At 19, this Georgia boy moved to Los Angeles with only $300 in his pocket, but with an immeasurable amount of tenacity and good luck. Legrant pulled me aside and said, ‘Walton, you’d better become good because you’re not good-looking and for someone like you to make a living in this business, the only thing you’re going to have a fall back on is your talent.’ So, what he asked of me was to be the hardest worker in our class, and he was right.
