To some degree I wonder if Spacey’s (generally incredible) acting ability gives him an advantage that the average defendant wouldn’t have. Who knows how to play an audience better than an actor?

“C’mon, Andy, just say ‘precious’ once. You’re guaranteed an Emmy!”

Agreed. Is there an ensemble cast award?

The only one of these I particular have an opinion on is Andy Serkis, who absolutely should have been nominated for Andor.

I assume he’s into cult films.

“This is a segment we call ‘Explain That Thetan’”

Enough with the softball interview bullshit; get this man on Hot Ones. I want to see that crafty elf Sean Evans gently guide Cruise into the formless depths of Da Bomb Beyond Insanity.
