Michael C. Hall was nominated for the fourth time Thursday for his portrayal of the serial killer we all adore on ‘Dexter.’

Hall, who is known for his soft-spoken and private nature, says he’s finally getting used to doing the awards thing. The Showtime series earned 19 nominations in total, including outstanding drama.

‘It becomes less overwhelming in terms of the shock to your system, in terms of the red carpet and the flashing photographers,’ he said. ‘It’s easier to enjoy if you’ve been before. It’s kind of nerve-racking, ultimately.’

Asked what Dexter would say if he won, Hall replied: ‘Take that universe! That would be his voiceover.’
