Did Bill Paxton Accuse Michael C Hall of Pulling The “Cancer Card”?

Last night, as Dexter’s Michael C. Hall walked on stage to accept the Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Television Drama, some in the media, and in the live audience, made some unfortunate comments about the cap he was wearing.

Hall had revealed last week that he was on the road to recovery after secretly battling Hodgkin’s lymphoma. But, obviously, not everyone got the memo. On the live blog for MacLeans, Brian D. Johnson wrote, “Michael C. Hall wins best actor in a TV drama series for Dexter. He looks like a bit of a psycho cause he’s wearing a black toque. What’s up with that?” And the NY Times The Moment blog tweeted, “Is Michael C Hall playing Bob Marley in an upcoming movie? Don’t get the hat or what is hiding under it?” (In their defense they did remove the tweet after catching some backlash for the comment.)
