Hi Noelle.

I hear you. On all of it! Especially as someone who’s Jewish, (so we’ve always been thru things,) and a white girl who was with a black guy for years, way before it was accepted, (so you can imagine what we went through.) But I don’t keep talking about any of it ad naseum.

As an example, seeing Barbra Steisand have so much success as a Jewish girl with a big nose, (both of which I share with her,) didn’t give me hope that I’d be a famous actress, as well. And, as much as I dislike her personally, (I have stories!,) I never heard her say that she was giving hope to people who looked like her.

So I feel like Michelle Yeoh stating that over and over again is enough already. That’s all. (And the weirdness about her tweeting that Cate Blanchett shouldn’t win this time because she has two other Oscars, just when the Academy members were voting, was not cool. The person who deserves to win anything should always win, in my opinion. And Cate definitely deserved to win!)

And yes, I definitely DO want to know your lip stain!!!

We know we disagree on many, many shows/films/actors. I love much of what you wrote, however, I am on the EEAAO train. It was my favourite film of the year and I was rooting for all of them, including the film. I have to respond to a couple of your points: “And if I hear Michelle say one more time that her own win is “historic,” and that it gives hope to “people who look like” her, I’m going to retch. (I’ve already screamed at the TV several times.) We get it already!!!” In her post win interview, she said that it was for EVERY minority who hasn’t been seen saying, “it’s not just for the Asian community, but for any one who has been identified as a minority.” As a woman of colour, I fully understand this sentiment. Michelle was only the second woman of colour to take home that award. To have it presented to her by the first woman of colour to take home Best Actress, Halle Berry, was moving and meant something to me. Saying, “we get it already” is rather inconsiderate. Walk a mile in any of the outstanding women of colour who have deserved that award time and time again and perhaps it wouldn’t bother you so much. No, I’m not saying you’re racist. I know you well! I just think that sometimes putting yourself in someone else’s shoes will allow you to see the bigger picture.

Jamie Lee broke her foot in her excitement! I imagine adrenaline got her through, but ouch! I’d take my shoes off too! haha

Now, on o Jessica’s lipstick. It was probably a stain. Similar to one you liked on me. It doesn’t budge. In fact,, it’s hard to get off! I can recommend one to you, if you like!

Your comments on the Oscars and other shows like it are perfect, but I just want to tell you that I also love your chocie of pictures on all of them. They’re so different than the ones you find on other media sites. That one of Nicole Kidman is priceless!

Hi Karen.

Your reviews of all the award shows are the best! My friends and I have stopped reading any others! Some of us don’t even watch the shows anymore!

we were sad you didn’t write about the sag awards, but we think that’s because they weren’t on tv.

Keep up the good work!
