17. Ellen Greene was one of the aunts on "Pushing Daisies."

I haven't seen it (because seriously), but it seems weird that the guy the whole story revolves around in "Lion" is nominated in Best Supporting Actor.

They referenced Wii games. Somebody needs to tell them Nintendo's about to release their second system since the Wii next week.

Update on Tinder: I’ve nearly abandoned it at this point. It’s lost the initial appeal, and it seems like it isn’t leading anywhere. Part of that might be on me, but I suspect it has just as much to do with demographics; Wikipedia says that in 2015, the men reportedly outnumbered the women more than two to one, and I…

Supporting actor:

"I want to hear about your athletic feats, Alex! Screw your intellect!"

He mentioned the press conference, and the incident with the black reporter. I don't recall the "media is the enemy" but, but part of their point was how overwhelming Trump news tends to get in a week.

Same, except I went in not even knowing there'd be a plane crash. (I thought it would be more of a crime story.) I try whenever possible not to know too much about what I'm going to read, since I tend to know stuff about other media I experience beforehand.

Currently reading "Before the Fall" on my Kindle. I like Noah Hawley (I'm even giving "Legion" a chance despite being sick of superhero stories), so when I saw this was on sale for like $3 around Christmastime, I had to have it. Since then, I've gotten about 35% of the way through it, because I forgot about it for a…
