The 96th Academy Awards
wonderwoman replied to ProudMary's topic in The Academy Awards (aka The Oscars)
i have to say, with the exception of the in memoriam (while bad, i’ve seen worse), it was a good show: minimal mindless banter between presenters; only one over-the-top production number, which was a lot of fun; the tequila bit with the audience was mercifully short, as were the acceptance speeches — did anyone get played off? i mentioned upthread that i thought they might have taken a page from the writerless tony award show and realized that less really is more. now, if they could just crack the in memoriam… -

haven’t seen ‘killers of the flower moon.’’ but, while i’ve only made through half of ‘poor things’ — struck me as weird for the sake of being weird, and i’m not sure i’ll finish watching — it’s hard not to admire emma stone’s performance. -

could really have lived without the forced banter between melissa and octavia and now emily and ryan. but, there’s been far less this year — maybe those in charge remember what a pleasure it was to watch last year’s tonys compared to previous year. ymmv, but i really like the individual introductions of the acting nominees. -

LSSC: Season Nine Episode Talk
wonderwoman replied to formerlyfreedom's topic in Late Show With Stephen Colbert
might be a challenge to book an audience on such short notice. -
capote was actually commenting on an episode of ‘family,’ a show that ran on abc in the late 70s. what he said was that the show was so well written tennessee would be jealous. then noted that the characters all loved each other no matter how badly they behaved. ‘family’ was one of my favorite shows, so i was fascinated and wondered if this is something capote actually said.

75th Emmy Awards (2024)
wonderwoman replied to ProudMary's topic in The Primetime Emmy Awards (Emmys)
overall a pretty good show. moved right along, although anthony anderson’s mother got old fast. loved the reunions — proving that less is indeed, often more. great in memoriam. and while the lucy sketch may not have quite worked, it put me in mind of something la times critic, mary mcnamara, noted re the overwhelming amount of streaming content: “Trying to keep up makes any normal person feel like Lucy and Ethel shoving chocolates down their shirts in that famous candy factory scene from “I Love Lucy.” We all stopped trying to keep up long ago. Which is a problem. Does the Marvel universe truly expand if no one is there to watch it?” -

note to the upcoming oscars: this is what a well done in memoriam looks like: a beautiful musical performance that didn’t detract from celebrating those who have passed, whose faces and names we could both see and read.- 207 replies

me too! -
hard to believe that andre braugher is gone — and that reading through all of the roles he played over 30 years, i just this minute remembered his turn on svu. and beyond ironic that his character defended the brain-damaged football player portrayed by the late treat williams.

LSSC: Season Nine Episode Talk

kimmel takes off the entire summer, so guests hosts are scheduled in advance. little different when a host is suddenly unavailable. wonder what happened back in the day if carson was sick? -

LSSC: Season Nine Episode Talk
wonderwoman replied to formerlyfreedom's topic in Late Show With Stephen Colbert
Not sure where he was but he’s on tonight. ETA: Stephen brought up that he was touring in Japan. Stephen was excited to have the whole band back tonight for the first time in six months! noticed that he was back. meant to post but the day got away from me. i thought he was with the band when the show came back on 10/2. must have been a short trip to japan. -

started watching ‘evening shade’ on amazon prime and was stunned to see a teenaged jay r ferguson playing the son of burt reynolds and mmarilu henner. had no idea he’d been around that long.

Late Show in the Media
wonderwoman replied to Meredith Quill's topic in Late Show With Stephen Colbert
finally! i’ve been saying this for years. from the ny times: ”In recent years, producers at late night shows had a perennial complaint: why on earth were they being forced into an Emmy competition with John Oliver whose HBO show, “Last Week Tonight,” did not resemble anything like theirs? They did celebrity interviews, Oliver didn’t. His show was 30 minutes, theirs an hour. “Last Week Tonight” rolled out 30 episodes a year while their output was at least five times bigger. To make matters worse, Emmy voters adored Oliver’s show and gave him the best variety talk show Emmy seven years in a row, leaving them in the cold. No more. The Television Academy has moved Oliver’s show into a new category this year — outstanding scripted variety series. This gave an inside track to hosts like Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel or Seth Meyers to win for best talk series for their current late night shows for the first time.” eta: last week tonight generally focuses on a single topic, so the staff can take as long as they need to research. very different from addressing events of the day — sometimes even tearing up a monologue 5 minutes before air to include something that’s breaking.- 362 replies
