...but no mention of Mrs. Robinson...

I'm not sure if this was at all accurate, but in the case of "Mrs. Robinson", apparently I've heard from at least two sources that Simon & Garfunkel failed to do the necessary paperwork in order to qualify for consideration.

Story.

IMO, the best Lois Lane.

They've been setting up and teasing this story line since at least the first Avengers way back in 2012 so I would've been surprised if they just offed Thanos in one movie. I knew going in this was going to be a two-parter. What I didn't expect was how they're going to do it.

Since there isn't a place for the 91st Oscars yet, I'm posting this here. Academy announces new Oscar rules for next year's awards. Most interesting is that the music categories will now have a short list of 15 semi-finalists. The documentary feature category is now more open for contenders as well.

Way later than everyone else, but, yeesh, The Greatest Showman is terrible. I had BJ's exact response: horror at it from literally the opening number.
