This Rose Byrne versus Jessie Buckley stan war has now officially ruined what should’ve been a fun awards season for me. Time and time again, the misogyny is frightening and disappointing. Look, I get it Buckley winning the entire season must’ve been boring, but can we just take a step back and grow up? Rose Byrne will be back again with the right role, and she may have a chance of winning even this Sunday. Jessie Buckley has had a marvelous performance, and it is certainly not her fault that she swept the season and may win the Oscar this Sunday. These people we watch on screen are human beings, and they have family who are on social media and might see this absolute bullshit. I can’t imagine how much it must hurt the families, and if people think that their actor who they are supporting would be proud of them or happy for the support? Dead wrong! Behavior like this only taints the win.

Judy Garland and Marilyn Monroe had deep admiration for each other. One night at a party, the same year she died, Marilyn Monroe asked Judy for help. Judy explained in an interview: “I knew Marilyn Monroe and loved her dearly. She asked me for help. Me! I didn’t know what to tell her. One night at a party at Clifton Webb’s house, Marilyn followed me from room to room. ‘I don’t want to get too far away from you,’ she said. ‘I’m scared.’ I told her, ‘We’re all scared. I’m scared too.’ ‘If we could just talk,’ she said, ‘I know you’d understand.’ I said, ‘Maybe I would. If you’re scared, call me and come on over. We’ll talk about it.’" Marilyn was never able to take Judy up on that offer. (Pictures: 1962 Golden Globes, 5 months before Marilyn’s death)

PETE MCTIGHE YOU ARE A STAR 🫶🏼

My mention of the spoilt brat, Veda, in "Mildred Pierce" is my once-a-year chance to share that Miss Ann Blyth is still alive and dandy! 97 years old. Isn't she beautiful?

The Father , The Sound Of Metal, and Tár.

They sacked Russell T Davies. They sacked Jane Tranter. They sacked Phil Collinson. They sacked Julie Gardner. Bring him back!

She'll pass the curse to another actress.

Christopher Eccleston would totally return to Doctor Who now after the news that it’s out on tender - in his own words he wanted Russell and the team gone. Ohh the foreshadowing of this moment #DoctorWho

Ironically Deborah Kerr, who had Glenn close’s record previously also received an Oscar from Glenn herself.

Here’s how Christopher Eccleston finally comes back!
