It's always good to see the class acts prevail over the shameless showboaters.

While it was great to see SINNERS and Aunt Gladys win, and Little Timmy lose to Smoke and Stack, I don't think the SAG awards changes shit at the Oscars.

They say "Aunt Gladys, you know you win too hard!" But I tell them, not nearly hard enough... 🎢

Especially by the folks that lose. There should be a montage of the folks who lose screaming profanities.

I watched 2 minutes of the SAG awards show. The banter is so bad. And then I realized "hey, I'm not covering this shit! Why am I watching?"

I'm gonna go work on my knitting.

The problem with the Las Vegas Sphere’s new take on β€˜The Wizard of Oz’ - The Boston Globe Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain, the one who’s altering a cinematic classic.

The PGA gave its award to ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER (sigh) and they also gave an award to butchering that is THE WIZARD OF OZ at the Sphere. Shame on them for that latter bullshit.

It won the Oscar AND it's the reason that wave flipped the Poseidon. The wave was tired of hearing that damn song.

That's because, unlike Jamie Lee Curtis and John Travolta, Redford and Hoffman did NOT pop their coochies like this in ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN.

Seeing black people loved on and celebrated at the NAACP awards vs what happened last week is why we don’t trust yt people in our spaces.

I loved the original version of this song when I was a kid. This is OK, but it's missing the mellow vibe I got from the original.
