Well and also Ana was nominated in a few precursors, which makes her Oscar nod feel a bit more predestined. At least the objections to her are focused more on the merits of her performance. These awards have become so predictable that people do feel somewhat entitled to “slots,” as Frances Fisher’s message referenced. But this writer is right that the Academy could have easily gone for another Olivia Colman performance in Andrea’s place. The Academy does have a history of ignoring great work from black actresses, but the scapegoating from people who should know better (as well as a handful of grifters who like to pick at our country’s open wounds re: race by focusing on trivia like this) does no one any good. It sad that Andrea’s work would be tainted in this way.

There’s of course this from Variety’s piece:

They're probably right, but it just points out how hollow the Academy is when black actresses have to meet such high standards yet are lucky to ever even get a nomination. This whole thing has been another ugly example of how we should leave the Oscars to the past.

LMAO I wasn’t following the commentary but saw headlines saying Ariana’s opener was getting criticized. I expected it to be a bunch of anti-woke folk not wanting to see a Afro-Latina rapping at their precious BAFTAs. I didn’t expect her performance to be such a spectacular trainwreck. She’ll be better known for this than her Oscar-winning role.

    • That definitely was her voice. 
    • I was going to put this Lisa Brenner interview in the AW thread but I'm not sure she says much about AW in it. I admittedly skipped around a lot as the interviewer's style annoyed me.

    • Today was amazing, for so many reasons. Others have complained certain stories are dragging and others have rightly pointed out, the show only premiered THREE MONTHS AGO! Yes, the caps are dramatic, but I think they seize the moment appropriately. I have watched more than a few soap opera debuts. BTG, is by far, the best, first three months of a show, I have ever seen. MVJ, rightly, found the best in the business to avoid as my pitfalls as they could, to get the show settled quickly. They have found their footing. Is it perfect, no, but is it as close to excellence I've seen this quickly, yes. I loved today's scenes, particularly with Anita. That voice reading the letter, sounded like June

    • GH has to be the only soap that still has a courtroom set and I appreciate that as I love courtroom drama on soaps.
    • Ahh ok, that makes sense. Gosh, I didn't remember Frances passing in 1994. I thought she was with us longer than that. She was such a sweet lady and character. Yes, so good and I'm so happy there is a quality version online. I looked it up and AMC won the Best Directing Emmy for 1994, so I have to assume they submitted these episodes. I'm not sure how to find out to confirm, but would only make sense. I still get chills watching it because I remember it so vividly as a 10 year old. Of course the drama of it all to see what happens to your favorite characters pre-spoiler days, but I grew up in the Midwest so tornadoes were a real, scary thing that. We had monthly tornado drills in school, so this made it seem very real to me. Very impressive. It makes me want to go find and compare the Mardi Gras explosion scenes and their second tornado many years later (although I think I remember that being a lot of CGI perhaps). I don't think I've seen those since they first aired. But for 1994, this was very well-done. Ahh - this was the start of Noah! And so many other great things - I really loved AMC from 91-96. 
    • Speaking of slaps, there's the infamous Ed slapping daughter Michelle during the Maryanne Carruthers mess in 2003.

    • Tracy’s tossed-off line to Drew about being out of ketamine made me LOL. I feel like some funny gay guy is writing her one-liners lately.
    • Yes, I am aware of the ballyhoo about Michigan. But, I still do not understand & I will  endeavor to explain why. Do some of us think it was a real place in Michigan, because not thing ever gave me such an idea. I thought we all knew it was a fictional location & I am positive that Irna meant it to be just that.  
    • It has come up in this thread before that early on it was specified that Another World was set in Bay City, Michigan, but somewhere along the line the references shifted to Illinois-ish.    I have tried and failed to find any specific clear reference to Michigan, although there have been some circumstantial details that suggest Bay City is not in Illinois. i notice that the AW Bible begins by describing the location as simply "not far from Oakdale", but things do change (the bible calls Pat Cynthia) and we can't take that as pure canon.
