Disappointed FAA lost but it was definitely a great step in the right direction for him. Happy for Shapo but it’s going to take Novak playing at his worst for Shapo to win. No matter what happens this was a huge tournament for Canadian tennis. 🇨🇦

FAA and Shapo!! Big day for Canadians. 😄

Updated with GH's correct demos.

That’s great to hear they had nice things to say about Reilly. 😄 He definitely had those qualities. Not going to read more posts - I want to be spoiler free when listening to this interview. LOL

I’ve never seen his interviews before but I’ll definitely tune in for this. Thanks for the heads up @BetterForgotten.

Every state having different voting laws is also messed up. I understand IDs cost money, but it just boggles my mind that some people don't have ID - like how do you go through life without one, you know? Weird. Maybe have something like a "voting ID" (if you don’t have a passport or drivers license) that's doesn't cost much, and something that's renewed every 10 years. I'm not too sure about signature matching either. I know my signatures aren't always the same, and it can change a bit over time. So if doesn't match exactly, they throw your vote out?

I’m not American, so I’m wondering how you can vote without any ID? Don’t you need some kind of proof to show who you say you are? lol

Novak explains why he gave the racket to the kid.

What a comeback, and shows why he’s one of the greatest. 👏

So three. Still a crazy stat. Wow.

Nadal’s second loss at the French? Crazy.

Yeah, dumb decision to seed them to meet in the semis. Don’t organizers have the ability to choose the seeding?

😂

Another record for Taylor.

Billboard should just ask us to create the new rules/points system. LOL

Don't know why they made BTS the headline (okay, maybe I do) because everyone tries to game the system with discount prices. Billboard needs to change this by making sales of singles count less in points.

As a sports fan, I don't care if athletes do press conferences or not. I just want to watch them perform/play their sport. It makes no sense to force athletes to talk to the media. I definitely was on Marshawn Lynch's side whenever he showed up to press conferences and just said, "I'm just here so I won't get fined," to every question.

What a start to her career! I really liked her album and can’t wait to see what she does in the future.

Very tight race! So many versions. Been saying it for a while…..Billboard really needs change the remix rules.

Save Your Tears is Max Martin’s 24th #1 as a writer and 22nd #1 as a producer. His list of #1 songs: https://www.billboard.com/photos/7378263/max-martin-hot-100-no-1s-songwriter/

I don't really pay that much attention to the BAFTAs because I never considered them a good predictor of the Oscars, so I guess next year I'll consider them. LOL I got 3 out of the 4 acting wins right - just got Lead Actor wrong. Best Director was obvious. Nomadland was one of the two favourites going in, so it was no surprise to see it win Best Picture. Kudos to Marvel Studios for getting Chloé Zhao before all these accolades.

Best Picture before the Best Actor/Actress!? I didn’t like that. The Producers must’ve really thought Chadwick was going to win for them to do that. So the SAG awards got both Leading categories wrong and they usually get those right. One thing I did like was the 8pm start time. I hope they keep this.

Chloe Zhao becomes the first woman of colour, and second woman overall, to win Best Director. 👏 I’m not a fan of the tidbits about the nominees, like I don’t really care what you’re favorite movie was when you were 8 years old. LOL. It was a waste of time and I’d rather see clips from the movies. I’m also not liking Questlove’s DJing (like the record scratching).
