The Golden Globes are dead; long live the Golden Globes!

I have questions.

Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News

Whoa: The Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which ran the Golden Globes, is “winding down” and has sold the Golden Globes to Dick Clark Productions. So … if the HFPA ceases to exist … who will vote on the Golden Globes? Will the Golden Globes carry on at all? What will be the point?

I had read a bunch of places that the cast of Succession didn’t realize until the last table read that this season’s finale was the series finale, but I didn’t understand how that could possibly be.  Turns out it’s because creator Jesse Armstrong just flat-out lied to the cast all the time. Which is kinda funny. From Kieran Culkin:

“… this year, he mentioned that it might be the end before we started shooting, so I started asking him questions. He told me what happens with Logan, and I asked him to break down everything. And he explained the entire season to me. And then when he got to the end, I said, “Well, that seems like that’s the end of the show.” And he goes, ‘Yeah, it does, doesn’t it? Although …’ And then he just started talking about all these different ideas off the top of his head.”

Culkin continues: “He was like, ‘This is just off the top of my head.’ And then he just pitched an amazing fifth season and then another and another.”

Padma says she’s leaving Top Chef because she just can’t eat all that food anymore. (Also because of work/life balance and all that.)

Who doesn’t love easter eggs?

Mike White isn’t opposed to doing a White Lotus prequel with a Tanya who is 20 years younger. I’m skeptical.

Citadel was not exactly the huge hit Prime Video is pretending it was. But they’re not giving up on it. Honestly, in the wake of Netflix and Max canceling well-made but underperforming shows, it’s refreshing to see a streamer wanting to give a series a chance to grow.

Joseph Fiennes regrets playing Michael Jackson that one time, and somehow I had memory holed this one, probably because it seems too ridiculous to have actually happened.

Tyra Sanchez, a former winner of RuPaul’s Drag Race, got herself arrested this weekend.

LOL, Fox News sent Tucker Carlson a cease and desist over his little Twitter show.

This is delicious:

Congratulations, Uzo Aduba!

Congratulations, Naomi Watts and Billy Crudup!

  1. I hope someone else picks up Grand Crew. It’s such a lovely little show with truly likable characters.
