They say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It is the way Mary Kay Place does it in The Safety of Objects (2001), with a rice cake, a cup of coffee, and a morning affirmation...

Shery Lee Ralph, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Beanie Feldstein at least season's Tony Awards
The past two years have thrown awards shows (not to mention the whole entertainment industry) for quite a loop. Nowhere was that more true than the Tony Awards with Broadway entirely shut down and most of the presumed contenders never opening in 2020. The Tony Awards for 2019 and 2020 shows were finally held last September, just under a year after nominations were announced!!! With Broadway theaters reopened for some time now (proof of vaccination and masks still required) the American Theater Wing is resuming the Tony Awards as we know them, returning to their usual month (June!) and their usual venue (Radio City Music Hall) so we're getting the 75th Tony Awards just nine months after the 74th.
The Tony Awards will arrive on June 12th and the four hour show will air live, for the first hour on Paramount+ and the final three hours on CBS. from 7-11 PM EST. Productions have to open by April 28th to be eligible and the nomimations will be announced on May 3rd, 2022. A list of eligible productions is after the jump...

I hope you'll forgive me since I'm the member of Team TFE that pays the scantest attention possible to Awards Season, but when I watched half of the Independent Spirits this past weekend I was extremely confused to see that Ninja Thyberg's porn industry drama Pleasure had been nominated for a few awards, and it threw me down a rabbit hole of confusion with regards to that movie's release. I saw it at Sundance last year (that is in 2021) and I was blown away by it, and I had been waiting, waiting, waiting, for news of a release...
Pleasure, Sundance, Yes No Maybe So, release dates Tuesday, March 8, 2022 at 7:00PM by Nathaniel R
tick tick BOOM reunion at the Oscar luncheon
For those of you who are not "extremely online" as they say, we thought we'd share some photos and point you to some fine accounts of the Oscar luncheon since they'll be new to you. We are neither cool enough nor local enough to be invited to this Los Angeles event (TFE is a NYC site... though a couple of our contributors are in LA) but thankfully some journalists are! The event took place yesterday and the reports have been trickling in ever since...
Tuesday, March 8, 2022 at 4:15PM • The Reveal "The Gotham City liveability index" through Batman projects. Hee
• Vulture interviews Lee Pace about Pushing Daisies for its 15th anniversary. Of all the shows being rebooted, shows that didn't get long runs should be at the top of the lists
• AV Club gets righteously snarky about theater chains upping their prices for The Batman. Cosign
• Letterboxd curating a fat girl cinematic canon
• Dread Central "a timeline of women monsters in film"
More after the jump including Austin Stowell, Paul Dano, M Night Shyamalan casting news, and Disney's disgusting anti-gay politics...
