Andrew was kind enough to poll Team Experience about their joy, bafflement, and dreams regarding last week's Emmy nominations but we saved one question for last since their was so much to read and parse already. We asked one final question of the team and we thought we'd share it with you here. Bonus points to the reader who comes up with the best spec script to make any of these fabulously impossible unions happen!
Which Emmy-nominated TV characters would you love to see paired up?!?
The Dowager Countess was a constant presence in the answers...

And here he is at Comic-Con delighting the crowd...
Vulture whose butts have we seen on Game of Thrones. Funny interactive even if you don't watch the show LA Times AMPAS just keeps on changing its rule. That board of governors is the fussiest and most bored ever, right? Always tinkering! Members are now no longer required to see foreign film and shorts at Academy screenings in order to vote on them. I personally liked the more restrictive voting in those categories. If I had my way nobody would be able to vote on anything unless they'd seen all the nominees in the category. Slate wonders where Jay Gatsby's mythical mansion really is/was (The Great Gatsby) Pajiba wonders what Marvel Studios could do to make Daredevil work onscreen CHUD it's not every day that a movie spoiler comes by way of costume design (The Amazing Spider-Man 2) MNPP Which is hotter George Clooney retro edition Ender's Game website has gone live in anticipation of the trailer.

He's now set to star for Steven Spielberg in American Sniper, a true story about a Navy SEAL who fell victim to another soldier's PTSD In Contention Bradley will also star in Chef for August Osage County director John Wells
pretty pictures imgur '50 greatest matte paintings from the movies.' a fine tribute to a lost art now that CGI fills in where set-construction leaves off /film new images from Hayao Miyazaki's The Wind is Rising which we were just talking about in our Animated Oscar Predictions (in case you missed them) Hyung86 cute illustrations of Disney characters as college students. My favorites here are actually Hercules and Pocahontas
You know a depressing drama has achieved deep market penetration when no one can stop joking about it. Is this a communal embarrassment from making ugly cry faces in the movie theater (don't worry, no one can see you.)? Whatever it is, Les Misérables has now joined Brokeback Mountain and Titanic and _____ in the small club of deeply sad dramas that everyone loves to make jokes about.
Have you seen "Les Mean Girls"? The tumblr mashes the musical up with Tina Fey's classic comedy, Amanda Seyfried being the key to all things (no seriously. she'severywhere).
But my favorite current Les Misérables joke is this expert repurposing of the big "I Dreamed a Dream" showstopper as Living FYC Satire. I totally love this even though I think Anne Hathaway is everything in the movie and totally deserves the Oscar.
i09 the best of the new Disney/Star Wars mashup art Vulture "Matthew McConaughey's awards campaign for Magic Mike begins now"...it's about f***in' time!

Stale Popcorn Glenn, our favorite fellow fan of Burlesque, has words about the proposed Diane Warren jukebox musical. So many Oscar nominated power ballads from that one! In Contention on the new Les Miz trailer. Why haven't I written it up, you ask? I can only write about Les Miz so often people and the movie isn't even out yet. Plus I already did a Yes No Maybe So once and my policy is not to repeat that with a single movie... I mean, some movies release five trailers, people!
Natasha VC "Ja!" Pajiba wonders why all the best Bond girls have the worst names. (If by worst they mean best... because those campy names are essential! They're so missed in Skyfall!) The Mary Sue Willow and Oz reunited!!!... but on How I Met Your Mother. zzzz... PopWatch Jennifer Lawrence on complaints that she's too well-fed for The Hunger Games

I thought about writing a review of the revival of Annie on Broadway but Adam Feldman's Time Out Review is so incredibly spookily spot on on ever single point I might have made (seriously go and read it) that it's not worth writing my own -- hate it when that happens! So Annie is in my brain currently and "Tomorrow" is the only song that's battling "I Dreamed a Dream" for earworm revival of 2012. I nabbed the video above from my friend Tom's Broadway Blog. He's always worth a read and he finds the most incredible videos. This one is the musical comedienne Christina Bianco doing various über famous divas doing Annie. They may as well cast Bianco right now in an American remake of Little Voice (1998) she's so good at impersonating other vocalists!
