Oh for sure. I’m waiting to finish the episode but maybe I should do it as I go

To update my roster of nominations: I apologize that the episode now includes the deadname of Jack Haven. And, with that update, it seems even clearer I placed them in the wrong category. My apologies!

I just started. 30 minutes in so far. Really happy y'all didn't censor Greg's at the beginning of the episode. It almost caused me to swerve on the highway from laughing so hard.

Things that made me happy so far:

Josh O'connor getting love.

Adam Pearson getting love.

Tilda Swinton's performance in Problemista.

All of whom would be on my noms lists.

When do the lists go up in written form because ADHD is hard to live with.

I also loved the consensus in Joan Chen. That’s when I realized y’all are my people.

Also, flowers for Jen mentioning that screenwriting isn’t just dialogue and language.

Antonio asked for them so I’ll give em to you as I go:

Supporting actor:

5. Josh O’connor (the best use of smirks in movies on the past year)

4. Denzel Washington (best movie star and force of nature peformance of the year)

3. Jesse Plemons, Civil War (only in the movie for 5 minutes but those 5 minutes provides stakes and the tension)

2. Adam Pearson

1. Clarence Maclin

Shout out to Kieran Culkin, Guy Pearce, Karren Karagulian

Supporting actress:

5. Katy O’Brien, love lies bleeding

4. Monica Barbaro

3. Tilda in Problemista

2. Brigette Lundy Paine

1. Joan Chen

Shout out to Arian Grande, Natasha Lyonne, Aubrey Plaza in megalopolis (I don’t care I don’t care and I don’t care), Anjuane Ellis Taylor, Zoe (she’s gonna win every award and deservedly so. I’d probably slot her in third and move everyone down a spot but I really feel like Katy o Brien should be mentioned and get love. I still think about her performance).
