Rachel Bloom would have been too obscure and good of a choice, so the Academy would never go for that

Things not mentioned:

So it’s basically The Sopranos, but all A.J., all the time. How can this go wrong?

I heard Better Call Saul was good tho

The national nightmare is over people.

Another Period is so much broader, I don’t even know how you could compare the two. They’re working in two totally different comedic lanes. 

Yeah, not like The Simpsons, a show made for children that’s flown under the radar for 30 years. Or South Park that’s been on for 22 seasons and whose movie was nominated for an Oscar.

But other than that, I actually can’t wait to watch it. 

The Favourite was awesome and more than a little insane.

Didn’t see The Favourite, huh?

basically just moping around as life marches on, leaving him unfulfilled and alone.

Ever had someone spend 15 minutes explaining a joke and then it got funnier?  Yeah, me neither.  

hahahahahahaha, look at this guy who thinks TWoW will be out by 2029.

Congrats to Olivia Colman, who continues to be fantastic in everything she does.

Amy Adams & Willem Dafoe were robbed.

How does ACS: Versace keeping winning stuff? Did the judges actually watch that show? It was middling at best and a huge drop off from ACS: OJ. It’s story telling structure was disjointed and probably about 2 episodes longer than it needed to be. The only thing about it actually worth of an award or nomination was…

Just as the Golden Globes started to matter, they did a nice little one-two with Green Book and Bohemian Rhapsody to remind everyone exactly what they’d been watching.

No, Einstein had been famous for 30 to 40 years by time Albert Brooks was born.

Surprising how much this one hurts. I remember those Super Dave bits on Letterman so vividly. And how weirdly shocked I was when I learned he was Albert Brooks’ brother. And how whenever he showed up on Arrested Development and Curb, he was always, always great. R.I.P.

I love the way that you gradually realize that Sophie isn’t this great woman who inexplicably is attracted to a weirdo like Mark, but is actually a horrible, irresponsible, thoughtless person who even Mark could probably do better than, and a lot of that comes down to Colman’s performance. She’s great in everything…

Seconded. I’d love it if the Club did a Random Roles with her. She’s got some great credits she could discuss.
