Edgar would be great, of course. He’s best at nerdy stuff like Scott Pilgrim and the Cornetto trilogy anyway.

Oy. Just kill these corrupt, outdated, and irrelevant awards at this point. Who knows if Riseborough knocked out Viola or Danielle? If Riseborough gets disqualified, next in line just *might* be another white actress. A lot of assumptions are being made since there’s no transparency.

Not feeling Gizelle’s look, Robyn looks cheap, and Ashley’s basically naked. Candiace by far is best dressed IMO.

He’s gorge. Another one selling bawdy:

And 3 of them are super talented.

Aside from Linette randomly peaking (has she ever made the second week of a major prior to this?), I thought the final four was pretty good on paper. Two Slam winners on one side. Vika playing well. Rybakina actually backing her Wimbledon title a bit. Sabalenka finally breaking through. Are they huge stars, aside from Vika? No, but they mostly are people who *should* be in the conversation to win majors based on past performance.

And so it begins…

Yes indeed.

If had been a social climbing story, I would bought it, but it was treated like any other light romance between peers. It had shades of Victor/Sabrina (without committing to the story as much as JG did back then). These writers have made a lot of poor choices to accommodate Sally, and she could have been a good bitch/vixen if they’d allow it. But they don’t write that kind of stuff these days.

This guy is awe-inspiring to me.

The Jack thing was ridiculous. I don’t know if not mentioning the age gap was more an appeal to PB’s vanity or if they are simply completely out of touch with reality. Not even Phyllis brought it up (if memory serves me), and she totally would have if she were written truthfully and in character.

Such a ‘90s video. Very sweet:

If I were Y&R producers, I’d be embarrassed to show any old clips given the current Dollar General state of the show.

The chorus has been in my head all week:

I saw that too. I feel like the Academy will do what they want. Maybe the strength of Everything Everywhere All at Once suggests they might go for Yeoh, though. I thought they wouldn’t give Frances her third, but Nomadland was much more of a juggernaut than Tár.

Tie me up, tie me down:

Brian Tyree Henry was an interesting surprise.

The Riseborough campaign was funny, but it’s ridiculous that she’s taking any blame for Viola and Danielle not getting in. That’s all on the Academy.

I agree. Oof, that acting in the Ramona/Jill fight (with R convulsing in tears on the bed) was so bad. “We’ll NEVER be friends again!”
