These Celebrities!!
It just dawned on me, what is to happen of this year's Awards contenders? With everything getting shoved back a year it seems, does this mean the contenders for the Oscars are going to be REALLY slim pickings?
Man Glenn Close should star in a film ASAP and have it released this year, it's a slam dunk to win! lol
Adam Schlesinger also co-wrote most (all?) of the music performed on Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. He's a genius.
Adam Schlesinger is awesome as Fountains of Wayne are very underrated. Ed O'Brien of Radiohead has also been infected and I'm going to fucking lose it if one person from Radiohead or NIN is killed by this pandemic.
Glenn, pull some strings and release the super cut of you auditioning for all the roles that went to Meryl. That could be a winning film this year!
Oh I use to love going to the drive-in when I was a kid! Such a shame there aren't many around now. They'd be packing them in and it's a great communal yet safe experience. Glad for the few remaining that they are doing so well.
Any update on Nathaniel? I've been keeping an eye out for the write-ups on Only Angels Have Wings and Pollyanna anxiously. Hope he's coming along well!
Respect is still on the radar for this year. It moved to Christmas.
