I mean, he’s not a bad actor. He just was never talented or charismatic enough to warrant the elevated profile he received.

The dialogue on this show is often so generic, predictable, stilted, and without personality. Everyone speaks in the same slightly formal language.

If this show becomes even slightly watchable, someone let me know lol. Even Y&R is more interesting.

I thought Frances McDormand was the sure shot in Best Actress but Viola just won the SAG. 

I don’t think they are ready to give Frances her third Best Actress. It would have to be an undeniable, generational performance like DDL in “Lincoln.” I thought Carey, Viola, and Andra Day were all ahead of her.

I think Youn is now the Supporting Actress frontrunner. She has a good narrative; she’s a South Korean actress in this monumental “Stop Asian Hate” year, which is a year after they gave “Parasite” Best Picture yet nominated none of that film’s great cast. And it’s a good place to represent “Minari,” which is unlikely to win much else yet had enough support for a Best Picture nomination.

Which... oof, Glenn. She’d be the new Susan Lucci in terms of acting Oscar nominations without a win. 

SAG Film winners were

Ensemble: The Trial of the Chicago 7

Actor: Chadwick Boseman, Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom

Actress: Viola Davis, Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom

Supporting Actor: Daniel Kaluuya, Judas and the Black Messiah 

Supporting Actress: Yuh-Jung Youn, Minari

Davis throws a loop in Best Actress. The other categories feel locked. I can imagine people being up in arms with the very white and male “Trial of the Chicago 7” winning Best Picture if indeed the acting winners are all POC.

DAYS has Trask and had Haley, but Haley’s dead and Trask is only used sparingly as a heavy.

I love Aldis Hodge. Those arms.

Anyone remember Ravi? Juliet? 

It’s funny that both of those characters happened during Sussman’s reign. They weren’t particularly well-written but they had potential. Mal had no interest in either.

Soaps have so many opportunities to cast nonwhite actors in different roles, and they don’t take them. For example, Ashland and Tara on Y&R could have been nonwhite, even with the twist of Kyle being Tara’s baby daddy. (I realize shows need to be careful with “negative” portrayals.)

Hurkacz does move well for a bigger guy. What a run he had to the title.

LOL I’m not watching, but I’m hearing the Hurkacz/Sinner final is a mess.

It’s like they are trying to torture the audience.

Chance?

These Cam/Joss scenes are so bad. Makes me yearn for the days of Jonathan Jackson and Amber Tamblyn.

LW is learning firsthand how awful her SO is.

I was worried there for a while.

Roberto is certainly no pushover. There’s a reason why he troubles Medvedev so much.

Sinner beats RBA.
