Heads up that yours truly did a guest stint on the wonderful actressexual podcast "You Might Know Her From" last week which is up just in time for the Oscars. "You Might Know Her From" is hosted by queer comedians and best friends Anne Rodeman and Damian Bellino. For their main episodes they interview character actresses. Recent guests have included Tony winner Cherry Jones (The Handmaid's Tale, The Eyes of Tammy Faye), Oscar nominee June Squibb (Nebraska, Thelma, About Schmidt), and other fun guests like Dana Ivey (The Color Purple, Addams Family, The Help), and Wendi McLendon-Covey (Bridesmaids, Reno 911). But they also have sidebar "extra" episodes, with non-actresses like myself or to discuss tv shows or cultural happenings.
We talked about this year's Lead and Supporting Actress categories -- I shared why I think Amy Madigan should win for Weapons but it's obviously a tight race -- as well as sidebar chatting about Oscarless 80s and 90s giants like Glenn Close, Sigourney Weaver, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Annette Bening. I had so much fun talking to Damian & Anne. Here's an excerpt from the episode.

I know we talk about them all the time, but it only occurred to me seeing their names side by side that Close, Weaver and Pfeiffer ALL lost Oscars that they were (on some level) the favorite for, over the course of just two ceremonies (1988 and 1989).
In some very imaginable rabbit hole dimension, they all won Oscars, and we only complain about Annette Bening and Geena Davis's lack of awards.
Oh, a new podcast to follow! Thank you for sharing it here and for being a great guest in all the pods you appear on.
Mike in Canada -- It's an interesting thought, alright. Do we think Tandy might have won Supporting Actress in 1991 if Pfeiffer had beaten her in 1989?
Claudio: why you gotta spoil my beautiful new world?
@Mike in Canada
Sorry, but I am so glad Geena has an Oscar, My fave actress of all time.
@Claudio maybe they would have done that,they did it with Dench in 98 but who cares Juliette Lewis should have that Oscar they gave to Mercedes.
