Yes, there is a systemic gender issue in Hollywood that needs to be addressed…but the lack of women nominated stings less when the five dudes at least deserve the nomination and there isn't a viable female alternative. This is not the case for 2014.

I'm so over this awards season. Yes, my favorite movie of the year Boyhood seems poised to win it all, but come on DGA. Ava DuVernay somehow made Selma into something not too preachy, riveting and mesmerizing, but you nominate Morton Tyldum over her? I would also like a detailed explanation as to why Clint Eastwood…

They managed to nominate Kathryn Bigelow for Zero Dark Theory even though the Academy unjustly ignored her, and won the damn thing for The Hurt Locker.

Oh I wasn't trying to discredit the points you made at all, sorry if it comes across that way! I think everything you said still stands and has merit. I was just pointing out that any hopes in a surprise nomination was dashed by the unfortunate ineligibly of the film (and I was genuinely unsure if you were aware of…

Something to do with its VOD release. I'm going to look up the exact wording of the rules to make sense of it (because I'm confused by it too).

Does A.A. Dowd know The Babadook is completely ineligible for the Oscars and Essie Davis has no chance of being nominated because of this?

I thought of you while I was watching Looking because when the sex scenes started I yelled "It's Boner Time!"

That line about everyone dying is even funnier/morbid because I'm pretty sure she mentioned in season one that she is a pediatric or neonatal nurse.

Listen, I like Nick Cage. My family watches Moonstruck every Christmas. It's a classic, among many other great movies; but Left Behind should automatically make him ineligible for Oscar consideration for the next five years. Just so he can think about what he did.

Warm and made me a little lightheaded.

I don't mind the character, but the only logical conclusion to last season was to kill him.

Oh how I missed my Shameless. I thought this episode was highly enjoyable. It was just saddled with the necessity of "setting up new season by addressing the previous season." So, nothing spectacular but some solid jokes and Joan Cusack being Joan Cusack is always welcome.

When I was 17, I got a blow job in the woods while I drank a beer. It was rather enjoyable. I just wish I liked the guy better.

All these terms confuse me. Can't I just be called a power slut and end it there?

I had the same reaction while watching this episode. Especially if leads to woods sex with Russell Tovey.

God I just loved this episode. Beautiful cinematography and the dialogue is just so playful and naturalistic. Doris is the clear MVP of this show, with shirtless Dom a close second. Scratch that. Dom not wearing clothes is the greatest gift HBO has given us.

Your quibbles with Selma are the same I had. It's a truly great movie (I currently have it ranked 8th on my personal "Best of" list), but the opening seemed out of place. The shock of the explosion worked, but the slo-mo that followed didn't. The juxtaposition of the two speeds was kind of a jarring, to be honest. I…

Awww you guys think about me!

Janelle Monae - Tightrope

I unfortunately understand because I've seen every episode of Glee. It's hard to talk about without getting overwhelming depressed.
