Redmayne was the weak link for me. He just felt off.

In my view, Sacha Baron Cohen is the standout. I can’t see a Langella nod at this point. The character is so vile that I can’t bring myself to vote for him.

Rylance is fine but feels too shallow as a character and there’s nothing personal there. Strong is fun. Yahya is terrific in his brief…[Read more]

I don’t think Langella has a shot. The character is so vile. I love Langella, yet I would not vote for him. I just don’t like the thought of voting for that character.

Actually, I think Sasha Baron Cohen is the MVP. I loved that performance. He truly surprised me. Yahya has so little screen time and even his monologue is very brief.

I guess this will be the first in Tony history that a play wins score. Cool.

Actually in order of likelihood:
1. Streep
2. DiCaprio
3. Lawrence

If The Favourite was not eligible for WGA, why would The Great be?

Here they are. I’ve actually seen three of these, with Delhi Crime the one I haven’t seen.

I’m still mad because of that Olivia de Havilland snub. This was ugly. The woman was one of Hollywood’s biggest stars ever. And it isn’t as if she wasn’t somebody who had done plenty of TV. According to IMDB, she was in three big miniseries (one of which brought her an Emmy nomination), she was in five TV movies, and she had guest appearances on…[Read more]

It’s hard to fathom not because of stats but because of quality. Visually it’s mediocre at best. And yes, directing is so much more than the visual, but this episode – while solid in terms of writing – is not even close to an episode that stands out based on its directing.

Jeremy, YES!

Where was Olivia de Havilland?!??!?!?! They couldn’t have done that!

ANNIE!!!!! I just knew it! I knew this in my heart! I didn’t care about any other comedy winner tonight! OMG! YES!

I’m going with:
Succession, Schitts Creek
Strong (whom I adore and maybe it’s wishful thinking), Linney, Garner (whom I love), and Crudup (who’s the best thing about this show), and Succession twice, even though I have a feeling about that Fire Pink episode.
O’Hara, Eugene Levy, Tony Shalhoub, and my personal…[Read more]

So not true.
I remember Jack Nicholson presenting Best Picture to The Departed.
Michael Douglas presented Best Picture in the year of Gladiator (when he was in Traffic, winner of 4 Oscars that year).
Judging from a wikipedia article:
Jack Nicholson presented in 1992 when he was in Best Picture nominee A Few Good Men.
John Huston presented in…[Read more]

Okay, I’m watching The Morning Show. Very watchable, extremely predictable and soapy. But the acting is good, especially Crudup. But how did Aniston win SAG for this awful performance? She’s easily my least favorite performance on the show. Even technically, she’s stiff and wooden. I know it works for this character, Ice Queen Alex, but I don’t…[Read more]

I don’t care about Catherine winning. I don’t care about Eugene winning. I don’t even care about Dan winning. But I want Annie to win. I just want her to win that damn thing. She’s the one character in this show who always makes me smile. Just by her presence alone.
