I hear you can order special dialling wands.

I didn't know who James Brown was before The Cosby Show. So I have that to thank him for, at least.

We're hosts, dammit. Oklahoma said so.

12 Rural Jurors.

Slow clap.

That usually does seem to help, yes. Although, Janelle Monae delivered her lines the best of any of the Hidden Figures women last night, and while she does perform live obviously, this year marked her acting debut as far as I know. (Exception that proves the rule, probably. Or Monae just being magic.)

It basically changed TV journalism as we know it, in addition to everything else.

I have seen people arguing Midnight Cowboy was the first, and other people arguing it doesn't count. I have nothing to add beyond that, but just thought I'd mention it.

To my mind, the BP/BD split that year was exactly right. Spielberg had the harder, more logistically challenging job, and deserved the statue for pulling that off. But that SIL managed to take the most recognized love story in the English language and give it a fun, compelling twist, is a greater achievement overall…

There's been a fair amount of "LOL, of course white people want a medal for doing the right thing on camera" too, to be fair. I get why folks are annoyed that so much focus has been on Horowitz, but y'know, in the end, an amazing film about a gay black man won Best Picture. Everything else is just noise that will die…

He's been fairly rambly for a while. When he won the Cecil B. DeMille award at the Globes I swear we were all a few years older by the end of his speech. (It was surpassed by Pacino's a couple years later, the bus tour stunt last night, and the month since the election in time stoppage, but the point stands.)

Bronson Pinchot's Random Roles interview confirms your assertion.

CJ: They sent me two turkeys. The more photo-friendly of the two gets a presidential pardon and a full life at a children's zoo. The runner-up gets eaten.

I think that night Owen Ellickson should get some of his actor buddies to act out his Trump Leaks story (a la Mad Men's "Nixon vs. Kennedy") and donate the profits to charity. I wouldn't fly to the US for it, but I'd pay to tune in.

Ugh, really? Can the girl who got Milo get her next?

This is one of my favourites too. I think it's funnier than the film for the most part.

Oh boy taking oil, that's where I'm a viking! — Tillerson, probably.

I am so sorry your family's resting place was desecrated. Thank you for sharing their story.

Oh I agree. Maher thinks she's hot, though, or used to.

He'd really, really better hope there's not another Katrina any time soon. He's already getting mild criticism for ignoring the Pacific storm in California, but the death toll there has been minimal (thank goodness), and of course it's California who didn't vote for him, so he likely doesn't give a damn. But a major…
