I loved the scene in the book that culminated in Stephen walking down the street holding an orb and scepter and wearing a crown, much to his annoyance.

This episode's stealth MVP: Norrell's wig. In each shot, it somehow managed to look in even greater disarray than in the previous one. That thing took on a life of its own.

Agreed. I found the changed version pretty viscerally satisfying, but the original version was so dreadful. I think I actually clapped my hands in delight when I read it.

And here I was trying to figure out if "the camels knows" is some kind of new, derogatory slang that flew right over my head.

I like black-ish a lot, so it's weird to say this, but I'm kind of disappointed that Anthony Anderson got nominated. He's easily my least favorite part of the show.

Most unexpectedly delightful nomination: an Outstanding Narration nod for the narrator from Jane the Virgin.

It seemed like Bradley Cooper was, for a long time, referred to as "that guy with the punchable face." Which, that's something, right? At least people knew exactly which guy they wanted to punch and why. People neither recognize nor care enough about Jai Courtney to want to punch him.

If liking Poldark is wrong…well, it's not.

His eye-roll in this episode was truly a thing of beauty.

I laughed out loud at Strange's little "woo" sound after he righted the ship. Hilarious.

It's unfortunate (but understandable) that we couldn't get the back story on exactly what the statues had witnessed, but I still got the shivers from the one statue.

"Apatosaurus" sounds wimpy. I know it's a veggiesaurus, but even so, dinosaurs shouldn't have wimpy names. The hard "Br" sound in "Brontosaurus" at least gives the (correct) impression that we're talking about a big, intimidating beast.

I've read a few places that the two Italians (Garrone and Paolo Sorrentino) are the most heavily favored to win, and the fact that Fox Searchlight just picked up Sorrention's film might be a confirmation of that.

I liked the part where she was genuinely surprised that someone else her age knew who David Guetta was, as though a guy with multiple U.S. hits to his name is some kind of obscure cult figure.

At the screening I saw last weekend, there was a livestream Q&A with George Miller, and everyone in my theater burst out laughing when he said that he really does drive a Prius.

I don't get why he's upset about how shitty humanity is. Isn't that how the Devil stays in business? Why is he teaming up with the cops to track down evildoers? Can't he just assume that he'll catch up with them eventually?

I didn't love his performance, but I was honestly expecting him to be so much worse (and I say that as someone who's usually a huge fan of his). Wilkinson has some seriously hammy tendencies, and I was cringing at the thought at him playing a character like LBJ, but I didn't think he ruined the scenes he was in,

I thought the same thing while watching Exodus. It's one thing to cast actors outside of the correct region for roles like that. I definitely don't support it, but that's typical clueless Hollywood for you. But you decide to look to the wrong area…and you cast Sigourney Weaver and John Turturro? What? Why would that

Did anyone else in the DC area see the Michael & Son commercial, with the Obama impersonator? That dude was totally in blackface, right?
