I like her <em>personally<\/em>, (I&#8217;ll tell you why in a second,) but sticking your stomach out and acting deadpan-ly sour does <em>not<\/em> make you deserve an Oscar nomination!

(In case you don&#8217;t know, the other three nominees from the film are Michelle Yeoh, Ke Huy Quan, and Stephanie Hsu.)<\/p>\n<p>Okay, digression to share my story of why I&#8217;m a <em>personal<\/em> fan of Jamie Lee&#8217;s: Many years ago, she and a friend of hers walked by me at an event, and I heard her tell her pal friend that something was \u201cthe best show in the history of television.\u201d Just as I was wondering which one she was talking about, Jamie stopped, turned around, and came right over to me, introduced herself, and said, \u201cYours is the best show in the history of television!\u201d That&#8217;s right\u2014she had been talking about <em>my<\/em> show!!! I almost fell over! And then a couple of years later, she and Mr. X did a movie together, and when he told her that he&#8217;s \u201cMr. X,\u201d she screamed, and told him to tell me that she \u201cinsists\u201d on guesting on my show! I rarely had guests on, so I forgot to follow-up with her, but just because she was so nice to share her very positive thoughts about <em>Karen&#8217;s Restaurant Revue<\/em>\u00a0with us, I became a mutual fan. (Although, at the time, all I could stupidly think to blurt-out back to her was, \u201cI love your father!\u201d)<\/p>\n<p>Now back to<em> Everything Everywhere All At Once<\/em>. Mr. X tried hard to like it for about forty minutes, (he kept saying, Give it a chance,\u201d even though I gave it a <em>thousand<\/em> chances,) but after about <em>another<\/em> forty minutes, he sarcastically said, \u201cBring the kids!\u201d (Meaning: <em>don&#8217;t<\/em>. Obvi.) He recommends that people watch the first ten minutes, and then go do something else for the next two+ hours, because, as he said, you don\u2019t learn anything\u00a0from that point on.<\/p>\n<p>And&#8211;I mean this seriously&#8211;people with any kind of seizure disorder really need to stay away from this movie.
