My Brilliant Friend, The Affair and You’re the Worst. I bet no one of them will actually get nominated but seing them cracking into this top 30 is already surprising and pleasant enough.

Delighted to see My Brilliant Friend on these ballots. I saw it many months ago and yet it keeps growing on me. Such an intelligent show.

The trailer wasn’t amazing, but I just have too much faith in Gray’s talent (I second @fairweatheraffair in her comparison with Nolan’s) to even be the slightest worried about the film.

If you’re gonna add Weyes Blood, you have to add “Grey Area” by Little Simz. They are in my opinion the Janelle Monaé and Kacey Musgraves of this year.

Except for the fact that they released much butter albums than Dirty Computer and Golden Hour!

I might have liked the finale more if I hadn’t watched (and loved so dearly) Hannibal. Because to me it felt as an inferior copy of it – the dynamics between Eve and Villanelle being far less nuanced than those between Will and Hannibal, the characters in themselves being much less interesting, and I could go on like that for a long time.
Overall a more or less decent season, only slightly inferior to the previous one. But this is a fine show at most.

Some that naturally come to my mind:
– Kid A, Radiohead
– Amnesiac, Radiohead
– In Rainbows, Radiohead
– Discover, Daft Punk
– Lift Yr. Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven, Godspeed You! Black Emperor
– Allelujah! Don’t Bend! Ascend, Godspeed You! Black Emperor
– My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasies, Kanye West
– We Got It From Here… Thank You 4 Your Service, A Tribe Called Quest
– Carrie & Lowell, Sufjan Stevens
– NTS Sessions, Autechre
– And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside-Out, Yo La Tengo

Of course this is only a partial and incomplete list.

Oh, I’ve seen so few of these films. Anyway, at the moment my Palme d’Or would be:

2010: Certified Copy
2011: Melancholia (but if a tie was possible, then I’d also award The Tree of Life)
2012: Holy Motors
2013: Inside Llewyn Davis
2014: Winter Sleep
2015: Mia Madre
2016: Toni Erdmann
2017: Good Time
2018: The Image Book

Flamagrama by Flying Lotus is such a great album. You should listen to it if you have the chance. Thoughts???

Haven’t had the chance of listening to it yet, but I have such high expectations. Sadly I don’t think It’ll receive any attention from the Grammy nor from this forum either.

I felt literally frozen inside while watching the finale, which I thought was great. Don’t know about its competitors, but it certainly deserves to win Drama Series.

I’m glad to say I did not dislike the finale.

Last episode was a disaster from a writing point of view – Icky pretty much said everything that needed to be said. It is discouraging to see such an important TV series end like that, even from a “no fan” point of view. Just discouraging.

The Wire > The Sopranos > Breaking Bad

To be more specific: The Wire > Twin Peaks > Mad Men > The Sopranos > The Americans > The Leftovers > Six Feet Under > Breaking Bad.

Please pay attention to Big Thief‘s last album, U.F.O.F. Great and extremely interesting record from one of the most original and fascinating “indie” (whatever that means anymore) groups of our time.

Last episode was beyond good and evil. Barry is taking the Atlanta route towards originality and boldness and I’m absolutely ready for it.
