  1. Thanks for the heads up @laredhead. Here's the clip of the segment.
  2. @slowpoked First, thanks for the JLC info, which probably does explain why there was no portrait of the six Best Supporting Actress winners. As to your quote I've added here, I was thinking the exact same thing when I posted the photos yesterday. It was a big part of the reason I was pulling so hard for a Lily Gladstone win over Emma Stone; not to mention why I thought it was not only correct, but also important that Lily's nomination was in the top acting category, not in the secondary one. When you look back at the Best Actress nominees historically, there have been way too many years where all five of the nominees were white. Viola Davis alone, should have won for The Help and/or for Ma Rainey's Black Bottom, although I'd have been more inclined to believe that was a supporting role. Honestly, and I know I'm out in left field on this one, (although she did win a Golden Globe) if I were an Academy voter that year, my Best Actress vote would have gone to Andra Day for her remarkable performance as Billie Holiday. At least there were two Black women nominated that year. Last year, it was beyond reason that Danielle Deadwyler was not nominated for Till. IMO, the Academy must nominate more non-white women in the Best Actress category and then, vote for them to win!

    I don't trust anything that comes from the mouths of Cashman or Boone anymore when it comes to injured players. On the other hand, Gerrit Cole's very positive attitude after testing and meeting with Dr. ElAttrache gives me some level of confidence that we're not being lied to. For any Yankees' fans who didn't see the interview with him Saturday, here it is. (Video length 1:39)
  4. Question for those here who have appeared on Jeopardy!: When the show cuts away for a commercial break, do the contestants get a short break, where they can walk around or sit down for a bit, take a few sips of water, etc.? Maybe not during the first commercial break, when it runs right into the interview segment, but at least between the Jeopardy and Double Jeopardy rounds? While the entire show may only last 22-23 minutes, those are stressful minutes! I know I'd want to sit down and do some deep breathing, even just for a few moments.
  5. From the "I'm Just Ken" performance, here's a photo of Ncuti Gatwa and Kingsley Ben-Adir, along with one of Wolfgang Van Halen with Slash.
  6. The Oscars' website has another photo gallery posted with tons of backstage photos of winners, presenters and performers. Although there wasn't an official portrait of the six Best Actress/six Best Supporting Actress winners, there are, thankfully, backstage photos. I'm posting those here along with two photos from "I'm Just Ken" performers that I particularly enjoyed seeing. You can see the full photo gallery here.
  7. Yes. It's just a shame that it took the writers EIGHTEEN episodes to get here. 😕

    MSNBC

    This is a strange 10 pm Friday hour. It's being hosted by Andrew Weissman and Melissa Murray, who are touting their new book, but also interviewing others about related current news. Melissa is doing an excellent job IMO, but Andrew Weissman is much better in his regular role as a legal commentator. He seems much better at answering questions rather than asking them.
  9. Wow! Ben is, once again, the Comeback Kid! I hope he wins it all, but I like Troy almost as much as I like Ben, so I'd be fine either way.
  10. Week 27: 0/5. I'll bring some tortellini in pink vodka sauce; A comforting plate of cheese stuffed zeroes. 😋
  11. Moving this discussion over from the 96th Academy Awards topic: The general public certainly considered Henry Fonda to be a beloved, iconic actor. I don't think it's a given that the Academy did. They didn't award him a competitive Oscar until he was quite literally on his death bed, and had only given him an honorary Oscar the prior year when it became known that he wasn't well.
  12. I'm going to move this discussion over to the General Discussion topic in this forum as we've ventured away from the 96th Academy Awards for a few too many posts.
  13. Georgie was in a short scene with Missy where she asks him to buy her some beer for the party. Georgie informs her that not only is she too young, but also that he's still not old enough to buy beer! (Mandy later, and amusingly, reinforces this point!) Georgie does make a contribution to the party, supplying Missy with a bunch of good quality fireworks that he had in the garage. So, if you were wondering where Missy got the fireworks that hit Mary in the tush at the end of the episode, now you know!
  14. Yes, plus $100,000. You can find all the info about the tournament here.
