BACK DAT ASS UP.

Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News
I don’t have anything insightful to say about this month’s war except that while the Iranian regime is evil and I hope it comes to an end, launching an illegal, open-ended, regional conflict with no explicit goals or endgame is not the way to go about it. Oh, and also, I haven’t forgotten about those 50 pages that were scrubbed from the Epstein Files because President War Games was accused of raping a 13-year-old girl in them.
The Kennedy Center Honors has been renamed “The Trump Kennedy Center Honors,” at least until that man is no longer President and/or dead.
Brace yourself for Kornackivision.
We are in the thick of awards season, and there were SO MANY ceremonies this weekend. Check out the winners here:
- SAG’s Actor Awards was the biggest event of the weekend. In the TV categories, The Pitt and The Studio continue to dominate. And Sinners continues to be the big upset.
- The Producers Guild Awards also liked The Pitt, The Studio, and Adolescence.
- The NAACP Image Awards awarded Abbott Elementary, Reasonable Doubt, Sterling K. Brown, and Angela Bassett
- The Art Directors Guild Awards celebrated Severance, Andor, and Saturday Night Live, among others.
- The American Cinema Editors awarded The Pitt, The Studio, and Frasier among others.
- The Guild of Music Supervisors Awards awarded The Lowdown, The Studio, Smoke, and Love Island USA.
- The WGA West Coast Awards have been canceled amid an ongoing staff union strike.
Netflix wants to bring The Crown back. Can’t imagine why.
Some Bridgerton stuff now that the final episodes of season four have dropped. There might be spoilers in here, so tread carefully:
- Who do you think season five will feature? (The voters clearly want Eloise, but I think they’ll hold off on her story for one more season.)
- There was a tiny easter egg in this season’s wedding scene that you couldn’t have possibly caught.
- There is no plan at the moment to bring Daphne and Simon back, but if they do, they will not be recast.
- The show creators talk about why they deviated from that pregnancy storyline in the show.
- And wait, is it possible that this character IS pregnant?
- My best guess? They get married in the final season.
- Oh, hey, fans are being racist about this show again. What else is new.
Lisa Rinna has nothing good to say about her Days of Our Lives co-star Robert Kelker-Kelly, so much so, I had to check to see if the man was still alive (he is).
Saturday Night Live literally pulled a Punch this weekend.
Tourettes Action, a leading Tourette’s charity, decried that SNL sketch cut for time. I understand why they are upset and writing in ALL CAPS, but I think they are deeply misreading the sketch and its intentions.
Elisabeth Hasselbeck is back on The View this week, and I’m already all pissed off.
The British Ghosts is getting a feature film.
Fox originally wanted Guillermo Del Toro to make The Strain into a vampire comedy, and now I wonder if that’s how we eventually ended up with What We Do in the Shadows?
Wait, is Pink taking over The Kelly Clarkson Show — not just as a guest host, but permanently? And is that why rumors about her leaving her husband popped up? Maybe on both counts!
A reminder: Dr. Phil is the worst!
Netflix appears to have photoshopped Love is Blind‘s Emma’s arm in a promotional photo, which is super uncool.
The more we learn about Chris from Love is Blind, the more I think we need to go full Lysistrata on these men.
Shia LaBeouf is using homophobia as his excuse for his bad behavior instead of his substance abuse issues, AS IF THAT’S BETTER.
Get better soon, Val Chmerkovskiy!
Congratulations to Zendaya and Tom Holland!
