Murray Bartlett just got nominated for a Male Actor in a Limited Series SAG award for The White Lotus. The nominees in his category: Murray Bartlett (“The White Lotus”) Oscar Isaac (“Scenes From a Marriage”) Michael Keaton (“Dopesick”) Ewan McGregor (“Halston”) Evan Peters (“Mare of Easttown”)

A common theme with the black men on these soaps. These writers could not be less enthusiastic about these guys.

Bismarck from somewhere in the States 🇺🇸 (although he seems to post mostly from Colombia 🇨🇴) Also this guy from Switzerland 🇨🇭

Alejo from Colombia 🇨🇴 in Spain 🇪🇸

Always nice to see him, but ugh. I wish it was on a more interesting show.

An almost drama-free birthday party (aside from Noah’s side eye at Mariah/Tessa’s proposed adoption) after a drama-free Michael tribute episode seems ill-advised. What a mess they’ve made with this baby. I almost wish they could retcon it away, it’s been so disastrous.

Was such an opportunity for so many Slam-less veteran WTA players.

Dame Maggie Smith. Burt Bacharach. Shirley MacLaine. Ellen Burstyn. Jean-Luc Godard. Bob Newhart. Tony Bennett.

They should have gotten this out there before All American. It feels a bit déjà vu.

Thanks. Maybe I’ll catch it on demand.

I just love that someone isn’t cowed by that blond thug (meaning Carly). Dude’s a star. He’s way cuter than Timothee Chalamet.

Nicholas Chavez is so adorable.

The Olsen Twins have also given a joint statement to Variety: https://variety.com/2022/tv/news/mary-kate-ashley-olsen-honor-bob-saget-1235150272/ In other news:

It’s like he’s doing the Stevie Wonder swivel.

That was the longest wait for an answer to a question in history. I see Cassandra Creech is Mama Buckingham. I have a feeling they’ll pair her with Carter for a mother/man/daughter triangle, which would mean they are unlikely to play the Quinn beat. And how long has Sheila been talking to herself? I know that’s vintage Sheila, but I feel like she hasn’t had a scene with another character in a while lol.

Wait, did they announce casting?

The NYC CBS station cut in for a press conference about yesterday’s Bronx apartment fire tragedy. Did they address Michael’s treacherous early days as a sadistic, violent predator in Genoa City? I guess that’s not something you reminisce about over champagne with family at Society…

Jane the Virgin creator Jennie Snyder Urman is co-writing this reboot of the 1991 movie, which is part of the NAACP’s production partnership with CBS Studios: https://deadline.com/2022/01/naacp-cbs-venture-sets-slate-soapdish-series-with-whoopi-goldberg-comedies-starring-dl-hughley-earthquake-little-rock-nine-limited-series-more-1234905866/

On a purely skill level, JT is great. I thought he did a nicely nuanced job in that episode where Billy ate some humble pie with Victor. But it’s in service of writing that goes nowhere, and that’s the name of the game for every character on the show. So true.
