Sterling Brown Gossip

Waves is a film that many thought would win the coveted TIFF Grolsch People's Choice Award, but in spite of not placing, it remains a film festival phenomenon, and growing sleeper hit. When TIFF added an extra screening of the film on Saturday morning due to overwhelming demand Full Story

This Is Us premiered last night. We are now in season three of the show I have hailed as the best drama on network television. I think that’s still true but it’s going to have to fix some major problems that have plagued the show since episode one if it wants to hang on to its top spot. After a rough start to season two Full Story

At last year’s Emmys, Mandy Moore was my Worst Dressed. This year is an improvement. Her custom Rodarte still feels like something Kate Hudson would wear but I don’t hate it. Full Story

Credit where credit is due – the way the nominees, then presenters, then winners were announced was so inexplicable and utterly confusing that it probably made people pay a lot more attention. To the point where, when Kate McKinnon Full Story

A few weeks ago, before The Predator was to make its international debut at TIFF, Olivia Munn discovered that Steven Wilder Streigel, an actor she shared a scene with, was a registered sex offender. That phrase should stand on its own, but if you need more, he pleaded guilty to luring a minor over the internet, the details are predictably horrible, and LA Times writer Amy Kaufman Full Story

God, I love a good wedding episode. The season two finale of This Is Us aptly titled The Wedding aired last night and it was a very good wedding episode. Ending this chapter with Toby and Kate’s nuptials was the obvious conclusion to a season that has been frustrating Full Story

GIVE STERLING K. BROWN ALL THE AWARDS. What have I been saying all season? I’m not one to gloat (I totally am) but 12 days ago I wrote that This Is Us is the best drama on network television Full Story

I say this often. Put Sterling K. Brown in everything. Give him all the awards. He is the reason This Is Us is so great. He is an exceptional speech giver. He’s generally a beacon of light and joy and a reminder that there is good in this world. I’d be OK if every award show featured some Sterling K. Full Story

Everybody wins when the Pearson family feuds. The last time I wrote about This Is Us, we were five episodes into the season and I was annoyed. I was annoyed that the show was focusing more on unnecessary twists than the family drama of the core Pearson clan. Full Story

Remember how the Emmys did Sterling K. Brown? I’m still shaking a clenched fist in the sky at no one in particular whispering “how dare they” because of how the Emmys wronged Sterling K. Brown last year. To recap, SKB was played off after a criminally short amount of time, thus missing the opportunity to thank his wife Full Story
