It just infuriates me that it took this long to get to Halle, and then a 20 year gap to get to Michelle. I like the pomp and ceremony and the general fun atmosphere of debating and betting on Award Season outcomes, but maybe it is time that at least we as film pundits look outside the Oscars. I know we don't consider it to be the end all be all of what makes a movie good, but still.

On a lighter note, please, Sony Pictures Classics, rerelease CTHD AGAIN but wider release now that she won PLEASE!

Probably bc 'Oh no, her face sags!" 🙄 Every court has their jester.
