The Nomadland Best Director is so predictable. It's not about what's best anymore. It's about race now and the rest be damned. Sorry, her film was the least well directed film of the year - all sun going down shots and meandering pace. The Father was actually the best-directed film of the year and, for me, that was followed by News of the World, which the stupid Academy voters wouldn't even watch.

From what I've read it's a VERY boring show, and if you go on Facebook, they RAVE about Union Station, to which I say a big WHO CARES?

I wish there were a way for them to prove who watched all the nominated films or even pre-nomination films. I think people voted blind based on who they like, what would be woke enough - it's a joke.

Keep the winners coming, please.

That is sad.

It is shocking they wouldn't watch it. Usually well made films from best sellers are popular.

The building is pretty and it is something different during covid.

Truly. I did enjoy the movie. But was it a best anything? Hardly.

Oh they aren’t presenting together.

It should be easy to predict most of it - hotbed topic? Win. Person of color? Win. Not who's best. Just who happens to fit the current woke bill.

Is it REALLY taking this long between awards??? What are they doing, making sanctimonious speeches?

I think most of Puyallup must be on fire. The sirens have been going off for an hour or more.

After the death of Jean Valjean, I needed something brighter. So, Destry Rides Again is on. Haven't seen this one in ages. Love Dietrich and Stewart both in it.

I pre-wrote that one, too; but I chickened out.

I'm home. After my Zoom union meeting, my sister asked if I would come over and help move and put together a couple of chairs that she recently bought. Her boyfriend also came over and we put them together (fairly simple for both of them) and put them where they needed to be put.
