I still can’t believe I watched Regina King on 227 and she looks the same today.  She is simply stunning.

Regina has come such a long way from 227.  I'm so happy for her.

Came here to say the same thing! Every time I see her I think “wow, the girl from 227* has really done well for herself.” I loved Regina’s speech and it’s refreshing to see a young TV star who not only stays sane as she grows older, but also turns into a true success, one you can feel so proud for.

 

 

* Yes she is so much more than that! But I loved 227 :)

Out of order, I know but happy for The Americans. I really love that show.

My UO-I don’t get the hype for Star is Born; third remake and the original and first remake were really good; now they just aren’t interesting.

I thought Star is Born was good, but it did not live up to the hype for me. I preferred a lot of the other films over it. Also, I enjoyed the two previous Star is Born movies to this one. I dread the inevitable Lady Gaga wins for it. I enjoyed Bradley Cooper's performance far more than Lady Gaga's.

Someone should make a show about Sandra’s mom and dad.

Fun Fact: I met Megan Mullally one time, and she let me pet her dog. It was awesome. 

Oooh was Nick Offerman there?

[Celia Rubenstein]

Hooray for Sandra !

Did you all know she brought Jodie Comer as her date to the show tonight? Love it! I wish I had watched the red carpet show so I could have seen them.

Yep!!! They were both super nice and friendly! 

[wallflower75]

Of COURSE Sandra's still holding her award!  LOL!

[thuganomics85]

Once again, Amy Poehler and Maya Rudolph in the Fast & the Furious franchise would be amazing.  Andy Samberg should run Hollywood!

[Misslindsey]

I love Amy and Maya.

[Valny]

So happy for Sandra.  I wasn't sure she'd win since the show didn't. Woo hoo!

[WhosThatGirl]

Amy and Maya  hosts for next year?

[thuganomics85]

Haven't seen Green Book yet, but I'm glad for Mahershala Ali since I'm still pissed he didn't get a Globe for Moonlight (at least the Oscars fixed that snub.)

[wallflower75]

Yay for Mahershala!  I haven't seen the movie (only performance I've seen in this category was Sam Rockwell's in Vice) but I'm looking forward to seeing it!

[Misslindsey]

I love Mahershala Ali. I remember him from The 4400.

[irisheyes]

Mahershala wears a tux REALLY well. 

[ShadowHunter]

I knew Mahershala Ali win yay. Bring on S3 of True Detective. 

[ProudMary]

I'm thrilled that Mahershala Ali won!  I think his performance in Green Book was even better than his work in Moonlight, where he was great.  Well done HFPA.

[tennisgurl]

Mahershala Ali for the win! Cannot wait for True Detective season 3! Season 2? Whats that?!

[ebk57]

Amy and Maya are the best.

[WhosThatGirl]

This skit would have been funnier if Tina they had come out and said she and Amy were married!!!

[mtlchick]

That bit would have flown over the heads of everyone who didn't watch the Emmys.  

[mojoween]

I love Mahershala Ali’s beautiful blue scarf and also his beautiful face.  Yes I know I’m objectifying but if they are going to put Idris and Mahershala on the same stage what do you expect me to do?

[thuganomics85]

Green Book wins screenplay?  Interesting....

Bradley Cooper honestly looked like he thought they were being serious.  Hee!

I was hoping for Roma or If Beale Street Could Talk.

I watched the Emmy’s and didn’t get it hahahaha.

"We're the writers, we were seated in the kitchen."  I don't think he's kidding.

[vb68]

I get it Maya. Who wouldn't want to marry Amy?

They were magical.

I bet they get a call about the Oscars tomorrow. Heh.

Edited January 7, 2019 by vb68

[ShadowHunter]

Omg wow first they were in the kitchen and then he couldn't even talk.

[WhosThatGirl]

I really do feel like we need to acknowledge that maya just proposed to Tina’s wife Amy and nobody is talking about that!

Will Arnett?  (I know, I'm going to hell, and this is from someone who was so upset when they got divorced.)

Shaaaame!!!

[WhosThatGirl]

Hey a married couple doing witty banter.

[TVFan17]

I would have found the Maya-Amy bit a lot funnier if the Emmys hadn't been so long ago.  I saw the Emmys, but wasn't it way back in September? Who is thinking about that proposal now?  If it had been 2 weeks ago, it would make sense to poke fun at it now.

[thuganomics85]

Aww, I try not to get too invested in real life couples, but I love Macy and Huffman!

Well deserved for Patrica Clarkson, even though I was pulling for Thandie Newton.

[Mystery]

It seems like that Gianni Versace movie has been nominated for years and years... have there been a few of them?

[ProudMary]

I didn't watch Sharp Objects but I've enjoyed Patricia Clarkson's work for decades.  I'm very happy for her.

[Eureka]

Did anyone notice Yvonne Strahowski (spelling?) was wearing a dress in the blue-teal family? Handmaid’s Tale watchers will understand why I think that’s funny.

[Zanne]

I really enjoyed Green Book, but felt bad about the win since Don Shirley's family is saying it's not true. They supposedly weren't even contacted to verify the information.

Edited January 7, 2019 by Zanne

[vb68]

Patricia Clarkson was indeed brilliant 

[Mystery]

I thought that Andy was kidding about Vice being in best musical or comedy. I know that studios assign their movies to a category to increase their wins, but that's insane. 

[thuganomics85]

And its Christian Bale, for his ability to play someone more evil than Patrick Bateman...

[AimingforYoko]

Not a shock, Hollywood is a sucker for physical transformations.

[WhosThatGirl]

Sometimes I hear the names of these movies that I didn’t even know existed and I feel like they’re made up movies. I’ve never even heard of them. And yet here they are. 

[mtlchick]

Saw Vice last week.  That was one weird movie but Bale made Cheney compelling in a really terrifying quiet way,

That's why I'm pissed it won Best Screenplay.

I did not realize that Andy was not kidding either. I liked Vice a lot, but musical or comedy it is not.

[Sugar]

I love that Christian Bale's wife looks genuinely worried that he's going to say something awful, lol.
