“Hey it’s not my fault, it was the writers fault!” was also quite a take on a night with so much emphasis on how important the strikes had been and how important writers were....

John Mulaney gave a pretty funny speech at the Governor’s Awards for the Oscars. 

I’m pretty sure he had already said the “I got this job at the last minute” remark (at least one of them) before that joke. I think it has been blown out of proportion, but I think turning it into the idea that he was just zinging people so hard that they were unprepared for it and hurt.

I honestly think Taylor was less reacting to the joke, though, than not realizing what was happening - if you rewatch it, he fumbled it a little and then the camera sort of panned to her too fast. I genuinely think she was just going to take a drink.

To call the look on Taylor Swift’s face when a camera wildly panned towards her “pointed” seems like a stretch. She was at best disinterested. Can you name a single celebrity who was there and complained his jokes were offensive? Even Swift hasn’t said anything about it. And again, being unamused and being a…

I think there’s a misconception that people - including Taylor Swift - didn’t laugh because his jokes were offensive. People didn’t laugh because they weren’t funny.

Totally fair - my Debicki comment was more of a “yes, and” then meant to be a negative against your comment.

Elizabeth Debicki is definitely heavy on the Diana tropes in her performance, but from an acting perspective, I can see how it’s an impressive, well-crafter performance because she is seemingly so different in real life. I think it can fall into “a Diana impression is easy” when that isn’t as true. I really think…

This slideshow strongly suggests that only super serious material can render good acting performances while seemingly not mentioning the irony of saying that while also highlighting a show that is about fungus zombies of sorts.

While a lot about The Gilded Age is lighter than some of the other shows out there (though there was a whole thing about union breaking and just straight up shooting steel workers that was pretty serious), it is a very actorly show where a lot of well liked performers get to do a lot of capital A acting. 

I also didn’t think you were being overly critical. I honestly just think it’s less substantial changes and more how different hair/eyebrows/contouring can make a person look.

Not as far as I have seen.

Zoey Deschanel in Elf is a good example. She looks like a different person.

I have season tickets to a local theater so I saw the Mean Girls musical about a year ago and was surprised that it was a pretty fun time. The songs were generally bops and it added some stuff to the show that was fun. I was kind of looking forward to the film, but then discovered they cut two of the best songs (Where…

One of the Wonka songs was submitted/long-listed as eligible. It did not make the shortlist.

Other people are definitely lapping up the Barbie songs. The album charted stronger than the other soundtracks in the mix and that includes I’m Just Ken managing to chart on the Hot 100.

Don’t underestimate the impact of someone dying their eyebrows on their overall face. She may have some botox going on as well, but to me she looks the most different because she has much darker hair that is often slicked down and extremely dark and pronounced eyebrows that are either dyed or badly penciled in. That’s…

I also might be willing to give the joke more air and debate it’s tiredness/it’s misogyny etc if the joke had gotten a big laugh. It’s not like everyone in the room was busting at the seams to mock Taylor Swift with their laughter or to agree with his assessment. There was near silence after he said it. So the idea…

They are, but Jo Koy followed this gem up with a joke about how DeNiro knocked someone up at 80 so he seemed dead set on making a bunch of tired sex jokes about everyone tbh because he seemed to think saying things like “boobies” was the height of hilarity.

I’d also argue that Taylor Swift didn’t seem all that offended. She seemed very unimpressed.
