I get that the BAFTAs have a bias toward Brits, but oh snap.

 

 

 

Worth noting that BAFTA didn’t nominate Carey Mulligan (!), Viola Davis, or Andra Day for Best Actress, so grain of salt when it comes to the Oscars:

 

 

The greatest of locks:

 

 

Chloe Zhao won Best Director in addition:

I like winners having more time to speak, but this is boring. Zero atmosphere. No clips for the nominated actors, just last year’s winner gushing at them individually? No stills for the makeup and hair nominees? Isn’t this supposed to be promotional for the films?


The Grammys did a much better job of updating their format this year.

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).

It's been really disjointed.  They done a couple categories with clips.  They did one bit about the songs.  They did Best Picture before the two acting awards.  I enjoyed the host-less format 2 years ago but I really think they need a host to hold the show together.

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.

But BAFTA got both right. I figured them awarding Hopkins was just Brit bias (plus they have a bad track record of recognizing Af-Am talent). 

Indeed. And they had all those prior pandemic-adjusted ceremonies to learn how to do an entertaining ceremony in these difficult times. The Grammys actually nailed it.

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.

    • I really have no problem with Kai as a character or with the actor. The problem is putting together two very nice people -- Kai and Trina. Neither of them has a bad side, neither of them has a devil on the shoulder, neither of them is impulsive. I think that's a problem in a soap relationship. Yeah, I agree. All this freaking out might make sense if Lulu wanted to do a tabloid expose on BLQ's LOVE CHILD. We have no indication that's the case.  
    • So Sonni would have somebody to talk to who she wasn't conspiring with (Will or Alan)? Alex kept telling Sonni how important her friends were...when she had virtually no friends. Instead they created loyal servants like Jane and Vera to give Alex people to play off of. They did that with Iris on AW, but Vivien was mostly there for comic relief Alex keeping Marah's paternity a secret was absurd. But I still love the scene between Alex and Alan where he convinces her by reminding her how they protected each other from their abusive father. Chris and Bev ATE that scene. Unfortunately, that took place only a few months before he exited the show...always thought they could have built on that, explored more how being Brandon's children screwed them both up. Maybe even used it as an explanation for the way their relationship could constantly swing from hatred to love. Instead of it being merely dictated by the plot.
    • The first one is Cass Winthrop dressed as Krystle Lake on Another World (not from his original creation of the character to hide from the loan shark Tony the Tuna, but at a romance convention trying to find out what had happened to Felicia who was missing). The second one is also Another World, Jake McKinnon as Doris although I don't recall what his purpose was.
    • I know there was one brief scene in the summer of 1989 where Lillian did mention Calla.. but in relation to her past relationship to Ross and it was to Roger while he was a patient at Cedars.  I think he was trying to pump her for information on Ross.. and for some reason, Calla's name came up.   I could see perhaps Beth mentioning that her mother Lillian was visiting Calla.. but not exactly giving any sort of details as to the going ons in Calla's life off screen.

    • They're neither great nor terrible AFAIK, but it is more a question of the streaming numbers in this day and age vs. actual TV airings. The Chibnall era reminded me much more of the crisis years, but I do think it's a very real possibility now as well due to the streaming bubble collapse affecting the show and its prospects.
    • ANYTHING to get her off the screen..she COULD have been interesting if she and Van had a few face offs..(there was a mild one of her going back to work...but I wanted something meatier "Bitch, I am Vanessa Chamberlain and I don't take advice from someone who followed the..career path you did!" I did like Alex's outright disdain for her.
    • Thanks @Vee for the commentary.    I haven’t even watched this season yet after  I couldn’t get past the couple episodes last season…like it was too Disneyified for my taste, although I did think it was a least better than the Chibnall era (but so is a lot of things). I’ll probably go back and binge it now. Hoping this season ends on a high note. I did read the ratings are terrible. As it stands I’m beginning to feel like what long time DW fans felt with S26 in 1989.
    • Yes, they are all on contract. Next.
