The Oscar nominations are being announced this morning. We are just waiting for Hollywood to wake up and tell us who to put on a pedastal and fawn over. Who will go from being an unknown to a Superstar this year? Who will be snubbed? How many POC will be nominated? I'm betting on two at least, Awkwafina and Jenny from the block.
Well as it tunrs out I was wrong on my predictions. Congrats to Cynthia Erivo!
HBD Pat Benatar! You can put another notch in your lipstick case of life. Thank you for teaching me that Love is a Battlefield as we've all loved a Heartbreaker. We belong together! Me thinks you may get into the Rock & Roll hall of Fame this year!
Well, it takes me a few days to tabulate the answers from my Scantron and my results are in for Best Dressed.
Billy Porter high kicked it out of the park yet again at the Goden Globes. Apparently the train was unzippabble so he could sit down and pee, as one does at fancy parties. I've been a big fan of Billy Porter since I saw him in Kinky Boots on Broadway. I never got to see Whitney Houston live, but there is one number where I got chils and the little hair I have on on my arms (think hairless Chihuahua) stood on end. That does not happen often. I once ran into him near the elevator a at a Pride Party and I told him that story with my eyes. I coudn't talk, I was catatonic in his presence, but I'm pretty sure he heard me.
Awkwafina was a breath of fresh at last nights Olden Golden Globes. Not only was she one of the only persons of color to win last night, she was the first actress of the You Tube generation that came into Hollywood through the back door to win an award that is meant for the usual Hollywood suspects. She's one of the funniest women out there right now and won for a serious role. See, you can be funny and be serious too you know. Right now, I'm real serious. YASSSSSS Awkwafina!
Tonight marks the begining of the 2020 awards season with the 77th Golden GLobes. Awards season is when everyone pays attention to 7 people and about 5 Movies and TV shows. The rest of everyone is pretty much chopped liver. This year it's really all about JLo, Jennifer Aniston & Billy Porter. What will Jlo wear? Who will Jennifer Aniston show up with? Courtney Cox, Reese Witherspoon or dare I say, Brad Pitt! What stunt will Billy Porter pull? I will admit I've only seen Hustler's this year, but that's enough. I'll catch the rest later for free about a year from now. Check then for my opinions. Now put your glitter sweat pants on and tune into some E! because this is the night all us regulars dream of, no?
This catchy lil' ditty by Tones and I is EVERYTHING to me right now. It will probably be stuck in my head on repeat and could very easily last all decade. I also really, really love this video! It's so unsexy, uncool and unpretntious. Like a breath of fresh! The 2010's were about trying too hard to be liked & pretneding to be rich whilst in debt. Disposable fashion and the overbranding of everyone and everything became sickeningly ok. Influencers oversold their sexy in the cloud. DJ's, Pop tartlets, Rappers and the like throwing hunny dolla bills around made it rain way too much for my umbrella. In retrospect the 10's were a decade of excess. 2020 will be the exact opposite, I hope?!?! Where less is more and being happy doesn't mean over 100k likes or cost a gazilion dollars. Don't get me wrong we all need money to pay the bills, bills, bills, but do we need to consume for the mere sake of consuming? Okay, I'm done preaching my gospel for the upcoming decade. Back to my erratically unschedule vapid programming.
Wishing you a perfect 2020 full of visions of love and happiness!
Lets dance 2020 in and remember that all the rest is gravy baby!
Not sure we are still calling them videos, but who cares hoo ha!?! It's Mariah Carey Christmas redux with a big budget and extra sugar on the candy canes galore! Oh and her adorable butterfly babies pop out too! Let your eyeballs and ears enjoy! π
