What does Glenn Close have to boil to win an award?

Had an  exhausting day yesterday.  

Worrying about finishing a family project before the deadline, worrying about where to order dinner, worrying about worrying

I do it way too much.

Both worrying and ordering out on weekends.

I worry about health issues after being exposed to all those plastic cartons and disposable  eating utensils..mostly that I'm going to explode if I keep eating take out crap..

Watched the Critic's Choice Awards presentation and could only ask one simple question:

WTF does Glenn Close have to boil to win  some awards season love?

Yes, "Hillbilly Elegy" wasn't exactly a Critics' Darling, but lots of aging actors get that token nod in the supporting category,  in a stupid movie, especially after multiple nominations without a win.

("though I personally liked the movie and her performance)

I guess we'll see what happens at the SAG awards in April, but I'll say one thing about this year's Oscar telecast:

(Well, I'll actually say many things)

There will be no Red Carpet.

There will be nobody dressed in anything but loose string pajamas below the waist.

There will be no big production numbers, no Trump mentioned in the monologue, and most likely, no host.

But this is the first year in a long time when it's not known months in advance who will bring home that Gold Statuette.

The closest thing we have to a sure thing is Daniel Kaluuya for the deserved Best Actor in a supporting role Oscar for "Judas and the Black Messiah" and Chadwick Boseman for Best Actor in "Ma Rainey's Black Bottom."

I'm hoping Glenn Close will finally get her acknowledgement, but it looks like Borat's daughter may take home the coveted gold--anyone who can convince us she's not scared shitless when Rudy G. takes off the mic hidden in his pants deserves to be compared to Meryl Streep.

Very happy to see Carey Mulligan on the..well..not the STAGE..in her..living room??  Her performance was stuck with me, even weeks after seeing the movie.

Looks like "Nomadland" is going to sweep as well, so..ignore my early statement that you can't predict the winners of this year's Academy Award, because you pretty much can.

Watched another disturbing episode of "Allen V. Farrow" after..and felt like a slapped Faye Dunaway in "Chinatown" with that famous "she's my daughter!/she's my sister!" stuff.

I read Moses Farrow's publication from 2018 and was convinced there's more to Woody than meets the eye: I saw the third installment of the documentary and was convinced that there's not, that Dylan remembers everything exactly as it happened.

It's Mia/It's Woody!/It's Mia/It's Woody!

A little of both, maybe?

A Wia??  A Moody??

I can't believe Soon-Yi is still with him.  I can't believe her name is pronounced the same as the college, CUNY. (Always thought it was a hard "Y")

Somebody knows the truth.

Somebody needs to tell it before they die.
