My closed captions said "Mo-chete."

I just don't get how you can be a superfan of Survivor and come out wanting to play the game as an honest person when half of every FTC is who lied, when, how much, and about what.

See, this is the problem with an interventionist God. On to TAR, which we know is the Deity's bath time.

I did have to chuckle at Emma Stone's saying "this isn't all about me" before giving props to the whole Poor Things team. Girl, you just won an award that was literally all about you. You're not up there accepting for Best Ensemble 🙃 (JK, I get it.)

I learned this earlier in the day because of a certain post on Twixxer from the Prince and Princess of Wales.

I didn't realize how hard I was rooting for Emma Stone until I found myself holding my breath as the envelope was opened. Great speech. Left me a bit verklempt by the end.

Love the cheeky commercials showing some Barbie love.

I love how they've just given up on distinguishing between sound editing and sound mixing 🙄

Now more than ever, as they say.

Lol. this might be the only time I remember to watch Abbott Elementary.

Disney +

And American Symphony is a beautiful, beautiful movie.

I never really paid much attention to Billie Eilish until "What Was I Made For," which is perfect for Barbie. Then True Detective: Night Country used her "Bury a Friend" for its opening credits, also perfect for the mood and material. Her songs (at least those two) have a way of getting stuck in my head. Also, didn't hairstyling and makeup used to be two separate awards? Maybe I'm thinking of SFX makeup...

Pretty sure that was a Brokeback Mountain reference...go camping together and not tell their wives.

How do the on-screen titles put it? "Day 3 of night?" Lol I mean, obviously the characters know what time of day it is, but the show seems fine with keeping its audience in the dark. (Sorry, I couldn't resist that pun.) Yeah, I was not even sure that I heard what I thought I heard with that scream. It's a very hallucination-friendly milieu this season.

The character is Iñupiak and Dominican American. (partly because) The actress is of Wampanoag and Cape Verdean descent. NYT: 'True Detective' is playing it cool (no paywall)

Juno Temple said on Stephen Colbert's show that she would try out her accent in airports to see if anybody thought it was off.

Communion "bread" is not always wafers, sometimes it is actual bread. In my church, it's a literal loaf that one of our pastors bakes for the occasion. And during the pandemic, when everybody was doing Communion at home, the definition was broadened to "any grain-based food" 😉 The significance of Bisquick in this season goes back to the early episodes when Dot was supposed to make pancakes (waffles?) for Scotty and wasn't able to (or forgot? It's been a while), and it kind of haunted her all through the events of the season. So it was symbolic in that sense, also, of the world being back in order. (In a more mundane way, it's obviously a settled part of their kitchen routine.) And the symbolism of the final scene was totally (in my reading) that the offer to Munch of the biscuit (and the invitation to forgiveness) represented the love and joy of a Communion meal, "the bread of heaven" -- grace and reconciliation.

Yes, the softness in Scotty's eyes and the openness in her face. So beautiful. The Christian allusions in the final shots were so heavy that they might have been anvilicious in a weaker series. Dot literally extending a piece of bread "made with love and joy" and inviting Munch to be forgiven, and then the beatific smile of transformation on his face. I found this to be one of the stronger seasons; I would put it in the top two or three. Casting, cinematography, and music do a lot of the heavy lifting in this show, along with a solid script, and it was all there. This season was worth the wait for me, and I actually respect the hell out of Noah Hawley for waiting to do a new season until he has something to say.

Great night if you watched The Bear or Succession, not so much for Better Call Saul or The Last of Us.

First acknowledgement that there were strikes, yes?

Although my subtitling brought it up as "George." 🤣

Yeah, it's a great gag concept but in execution it's rude and disruptive and not in keeping with the tone of an awards show, which is about affirming and lifting up excellence. Theoretically.

Screenrant says it's because of its "strong blend of dramatic and lighthearted moments." I, otoh, have a theory that if the runtime of a thing is generally in the 30-minute range, it's considered a comedy.

I gave this a like, but honestly? I am weeping at America's speech.
