Dario Marianelli, “The Secret Life of Daydreams” from Pride & Prejudice

^^^ Jacquie slayed it in this episode! These last few weeks especially have featured so many poignant moments and impressive performances by everyone – Scott Clifton, Katherine Kelly Lang, Annika Noelle, Darin Brooks, Katrina Bowden, to name a few – but if I had to pick one scene that left me the most stirred, it’s here where Steffy comes to…[Read more]

Ha yes, I believe it was me who had suggested at the time that for next year’s Goldies, we should move the Performer of the Year category to the start of the voting period (the Nominations round). This way, any name submitted for consideration that’s not already on the master Actors list would then automatically be added and eligible during the…[Read more]

Carrie Underwood, “Good in Goodbye”

^^^ Agreed on Jason Thompson, though I suspect he’ll once again submit in Lead Actor. And yes, the sweet young fellow that plays Douglas on B&B has been doing really wonderful job, especially over the last week. His ability to sense out which emotions to convey (and when) is quite remarkable for a kid his age.

Ludovico Einaudi, “Rose”

^^^ I concur, Beth Maitland was splendid in that final scene. I would also go ahead and cite Jess Walton, whose return visits, no matter how short, are always such a treat. Jill’s conversation with Billy about Delia really got to me, and Jess just aces the part where Jill encourages Billy to be the man that Delia taught him to be. Jason Thompson…[Read more]

Jamie Cullum, “For The Love”

This aired some weeks ago, but I was quite moved by it and it’s stayed with me:

Ah yes, Scotty McCreery. I had forgotten how close he came to being the youngest winner (that goes for Lauren Alaina too, had she won that same year).

Can we just take a moment and give a huge round of applause to Ari Zucker, who has been phenomenal these last couple weeks. I love how DAYS brought her back just in time for May sweeps, and it seems like everyone in the cast has stepped up their game. If what the ending to Friday’s show is alluding to, does turn out to be true, then I agree it’s a…[Read more]

^^^ Thx Freeman, your post reminded me that I’d neglected to also include a directing citation. How great is it that Gary Tomlin hasn’t just been writing on GH but frequently been flexing his muscles too as part of the directing team?! He did a really nice job with the smooth flow and overall tone of the episode.

The cast of General Hospital (Nurses Ball, 5/21/18), “I’ll Be Your Champion”

How wonderful that Eva La Rue is returning to daytime! And you’re not alone, linecelts. I’ve also been very much enjoying the various relationships stemming from the Rosales clan. Josh Griffith did a really admirable job during his head-writing tenure at DAYS not too long ago, highlighting the Hernandez family and bringing on board most notably A…[Read more]

Rebecca Budig returning to the show is fantastic news! I wonder if Hayden will somehow be connected to the character of Willow or perhaps even Shiloh (though it seems like the Dawn of Day cult storyline could be wrapping up in the next couple weeks).

Thanks vinny for clarifying, and congrats to both you and Tyler on your perfect scores last week! It’s kind of amazing that Jordin Sparks has been able to hold on to that record title for all these years. Congrats to her! It could very well go down on Sunday the way you have it outlined in your predix. I’m still placing my bets on Madison as I…[Read more]

Still on cloud 9 that Jacqueline won! She had a phenomenal year with so much challenging material to play, and wholeheartedly deserved to take home the trophy. I love how utterly surprised she was when her name was called, and was practically beaming on stage (plus, all of my Logan girls looked absolutely stunning!)

Even though Kyler Pettis…[Read more]

Nice to see Alejandro finally step it up in his performances this past week. I can’t shake the feeling that we’re in for a shocking elimination tonight, with either Wade or Laci (or perhaps even both) making it to the finale; then again, this season has been packed with so much insane talent (enough to satisfy two seasons!) that it seems like…[Read more]

I noticed that too! The stylish design with the wax seal makes for a really nice touch! Kudos to NATAS for going the extra mile this year!
