🔗 checking in on awards season

• Not even sure how to explain the fall and rise of Ariana Debose after her … spirited BAFTA performance, so i made this graph.

• Loving a cute and brief reunion with Elaine Hendrix and Lisa Anne Walter from Parent Trap at the SAG Awards this weekend.

• Everything Everywhere All At Once has now taken home the gold in Critics Choice, DGA, PGA and SAG awards, so at this point it would be unprecedented for them to not take home Best Picture at Oscars in March. happy for the daniels! don’t do a marvel movie next!

• should we do a links oscars prediction card? bingo? i will pay you all a dollar each if jimmy kimmel doesn’t show up on the oscars stage with a helmet or a body guard for a throwaway will smith joke.

🐶 crema update

thank u all for the love on crema. She is 3 months old and doing so good. I on the other hand, am slowly rotting to my core, balancing a growing puppy who hates being in her crate and cries if i go to the bathroom. If i’m honest, i absolutely underestimated the commitment. but then she hops on the couch and lays down next me and i completely melt and i’m all better.
