Yeah, I really think the important context here is that this was going to be her first awards show. Ever. After a completely unexpected rise to a starring role in a major motion picture. I'd be disappointed in her case too. Especially since, sadly, I doubt she'll be getting too many starring roles in the future, as Tracy Turnblad is a rather intentionally unlikely star character.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Also, while she's likely to get a nom for a Golden Globe because they have a musical/comedy category, there's no way she'll get a nom for an Oscar. Probably ever. Kind of a one shot deal for her career.

Ok, I guess I was overreacting. Plus, apparently I've not been keeping up on movies.

Maybe it's lack of sleep, but somehow that reminds me of 300.

I need to go back and watch Firefly again. I'd forgotten how awesome Zoe is.

I was expecting to be unimpressed: I've seen so many vids, and I find that show tunes are often not a very good match. But that? Was really lovely and inspiring. I got chills!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Ah, Zoe. Attawoman.
