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!”

I really think Blanchett might get her third. Seems like something the Academy would do. But it’ll be close.

Some of the top nominees:

Andrea Riseborough. Wow.

Amber Tamblyn (ex-Emily, GH) and her husband David Cross have supporting roles as a “warring couple” in Nicole Holofcener’s latest, You Hurt My Feelings, starring Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Tobias Menzies. It just premiered at Sundance and is getting good reviews. I like Holofcener’s movies a lot: https://deadline.com/2023/01/you-hurt-my-feelings-sundance-film-festival-review-julia-louis-dreyfus-shines-again-in-nicole-holofceners-witty-and-honest-comedy-1235237978/

Stretching the definition of a “soap star” here, but here’s Ron Carlivati (head writer of DAYS, GH, OLTL) and his interior-designer hubby giving a tour of their East Hampton home:

Oh wow. I thought there might be a possibility that Ana de Armas would double-dip with a Razzie and an Oscar nomination. I suppose she’s included in Worst Couple.
