Whew Black people just stay winning

[dreamdate]

I was so elated about all of this. Yahyah pulling himself together to make a beautiful speech and then screaming/running towards his friends before they cut him off was great lol

Yahya is very handsome

[ohmylol]

Jim Parsons was (for some reason) the favorite on Goldderby so i was thrilled when Yahya won, he deserves it and he is so handsome

As someone who watched Hollywood, I could not begin to understand how he was the favourite. I walked away from that series thinking that he was the worst actor there. He was so over the top in every scene.

[ohmylol]

i think because there were 3 Watchmen actors so maybe the predictors thought they would split the vote, but besides that?? i don't see it, Jim Parsons doesn't deserve more undeserving awards, also i can't see him beyond Sheldon Cooper, sorry

Hollywood in general made my skin crawl. I liked the concept but it was so poorly executed and Jim Parsons was ridiculously over the top in his role.

uzo leaving her seat shouting "mommy!" was so sweet, i always think about the story she told about her mother's response to uzo wanting to change her name so people at school could pronounce it more easily

[therearewords]

That one really stuck with me and I use it when students go "yeah no its fine" when I ask how they want their name pronounced. It's a small show of respect to use someone's name correctly.

Uzo’s acceptance speech was so pure and genuine.
