Interesting read. Fact-Checking Feud: Bette Davis’s Thorny Relationship with Her Daughter B.D.

Evidently Lance Barber has been cast as Sheldon's father, and I have to admit, I don't care for him. I mean he's obviously good at playing a jerk, as he was on The Comeback, but I find him too unpleasant to watch. I really hated the Big Bang episode where he played Leonard's old bully and try to forget it exists...but evidently they're not going to let me. Bleh.

Unacceptable! Glenn Howerton May Not Return to ‘It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia’

Technically, 3 for 4. The most recent film he directed, Live By Night, was a bomb and wasn't nominated for anything.

Big Bang Theory Sneak Peek: Sheldon's Stunning Reaction to (Spoiler) Will Have You Questioning Everything Heh. I cut and pasted that from CBS and didn't even notice.

The gay moment spoiled: http://www.vulture.com/2017/03/heres-the-exclusively-gay-moment-in-beauty-and-the-beast.html Meh. About what I expected, which is not much.

Casting for the Young Sheldon spinoff. I still hate the idea, but Laurie Metcalf's daughter playing Mary seems like the best path they could have taken. I'd never heard of the kid, but he seems adorable, and certainly precocious.

Interview with the stage manager. An interesting read. This is inexcusable, and reason enough for them to be fired from this job: So she didn't even realize the wrong winner had been called, even though she was supposed to have them memorized? Even if she wasn't the one to hand out the wrong envelope, yeah, she deserves to be removed from the assignment.

I don't know why so many people are jumping on the blue-eyed wife comment. As it happens, his wife does have really striking blue eyes, that it appears she's passed on to their son. Maybe he finds them attractive about her. So that must mean he only finds blue eyes attractive? Okay. Interesting. The Hollywood Reporter's Rundown yesterday had a much more charitable read: It was chaos. People don't always make the best choice in the moment. There was a lot of that going around.

Wow. Now Variety has pictures from backstage of the minutes leading up to the mixup, with Cullinan tweeting away (and with two envelopes in his possession).

Interesting report of what it was like to be in the theater as it was going down. From the sound of it, even if they'd done a do-over to try to give Moonlight its moment, there was no going back. It was so bizarre and no one was paying attention (and some of the audience had already left) that the moment was gone.

The Hollywood Reporter has a new blow-by-blow that explains the sequence of events well.

The controversy over Viola being in Supporting Actress is hilarious to me (and she certainly has more claim to it than Vikander being considered a Supporting Actress last year). In the original production of the play, Mary Alice won for the Tony for the role...for Featured, not Lead, Actress. In 2010 when Viola won for the role, the producers had to petition to have it considered a Lead instead of Featured (because Lead was considered easier competition that year). And now that the role is back in supporting, it's controversial again. Funny.

The two accountants who handled the envelopes gave numerous interviews in the days leading up to the ceremony (and likely wish they hadn't gotten their names out now). Both look to be well in their 40s, if not 50s (and can be seen in the clips of the incident among the La La Land and Moonlight crews looking as befuddled as everyone else.) Pic Another Onstage

I miss when Raj's parents were together and used to Skype together and were happy, before the show inexplicably and pointlessly decided to destroy them.

Charlie Day makes it sound like they're sticking with it, because of taking it back before.

Did something happen to Susan Ross when I wasn't looking?

Colin Jost is no longer one of the head writers, and hasn't been this season.

I really liked this observation from Vulture's review:
