Anna Paquin, Stephen Moyer and Alexander Skarsgard of 'True Blood' bares all for Rolling Stone (Photo credit: Rolling Stone) True Blood stars Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer, who recently got married, and Alexander Skarsgard, the third part of their steamy on-screen love triangle, are set to be presenters at the 2010 Primetime Emmy Awards that will take place on August 29.

The three, who portray waitress Sookie Stackhouse, her vampire love Bill Compton and vampire sheriff Eric Northman, recently posed in a seemingly naked and bloody cover of Rolling Stone magazine. True Blood is nominated for five Emmys, including Outstanding Drama Series.

The HBO series, which is based on a series of novels and which often features sexually-explicit scenes and strong language, has never received a nod in the acting categories. True Blood is on its third season (Check out a recap of True Blood's latest 10th episode "I Smell a Rat").

Paquin, a 28 Canadian actress who grew up in New Zealand, married Moyer, a 40-year-old British actor, on Saturday night in a private ceremony in Malibu, California, which was attended by friends and family. The two have been engaged since August 2009. In April, Paquin made headlines by coming out as a bisexual in a public service announcement for the "Give a Damn" campaign for gay rights.

Other actors set to present statuettes at the 2010 Emmy Awards ceremony include Stephen Colbert, Edie Falco, Tina Fey, Laurence Fishburne, Ricky Gervais, Mad Men's Jon Hamm and January Jones, John Krasinski of The Office, LL Cool J, The Good Wife's Julianna Margulies, Joel McHale, Will Arnett, Glee's Matthew Morrison, Eva Longoria Parker, The Big Bang Theory's Jim Parsons, Matthew Perry, Keri Russell, Blair Underwood and Modern Family's Sofia Vergara.

Betty White recently won an Emmy for her appearance on Saturday Night Live and Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution took home a statuette as well at the Creative Arts Emmys ceremony on Saturday, a preliminary event that honors mostly technical achievements as well as guest acting spots on shows and specialized programs.

Check out the list of nominations for the 2010 Primetime Emmy Awards. The ceremony is set to air live on NBC on August 29 at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT.
