TAR: In theory, the older couple should be competitive, they do lots of sports & et cetera -- the woman has climbed all 54 of Colorado's 14K high peaks, for instance. They showed really badly in this first leg, and I don't expect them to last.
Natter 43: I Love My Dead Gay Whale Crosspost.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Jennifer Garner tripping.
Her "Thank you. I do my own stunts." was very cute, too.
This is cute: Backstage at the Oscars.
That's so cute I barely believe it.
Aurelia, I think if I thought the Oscars were merit-based I'd pay more attention to the winners and not to the spectacle. For me it's an opportunity to ooh and ahh at fashion (a beloved pasttime of mine) and to hope against hope that my mind-control rays are finally totally debugged.
Who got dumped the first week of TAR? I missed the end.
The first dumpees were the gay friends from Boston.
Aurelia, I think if I thought the Oscars were merit-based I'd pay more attention to the winners and not to the spectacle.
In light of that, I have a longer-term prediction: The next time Paul Giamatti has a decent role in a movie that's at least reasonably well-received and not a complete flop, financially, he'll win best supporting actor.
I never liked Rachel before The Constant Gardener. She was merely tolerable in the Mummy movies. I think she rocks now.
I thought she was really good in Enemy at the Gates. That movie sold me on her. The Mummy(ies) ... blah.

Do you think it has to be reasonably soon? Have his not-wins been high-profile enough to span more than, say, three years?
Also, when will Don Cheadle get his we-do-like-you Oscar, dammit?
I thought she was really good in Enemy at the Gates.
Never saw that. No idea why no...wait, right, war movie.
Don should have been up for Crash, IMO.

I realize awards are never so pure (even on much smaller scale than the Oscars).

That's cool. That seems to be the case for the majority. I'm just less cranky when I skip that part.
