Kate Hudson campaigned for the Oscar nomination and got it but hasn’t been campaigning super hard for the trophy. Her nomination, 25 years after Almost Famous, is the prize after decades of a pretty uneven film collection. Sometimes you see the vision, some of her rom-coms are great (she is a sparkling lead) but there are a lot of forgettable and borderline-regrettable choices.

Even after decades and her big family legacy, Kate is the outlier and the underdog in her category. The nomination is the win.

One thing Taylor Swift will never do is pretend the numbers don’t matter. They matter, to her. It’s better than pretending that it’s all for the art. She loves the game!

I had to Google this but Jennifer Aniston’s birthday was two weeks ago. I’m cackling, why is Barbra Streisand like this.

Maybe you are into reality TV and maybe you aren’t, but if you want to watch a scathing breakdown of a marriage between an “I can fix him” woman and a late-in-life-DJ man, I suggest this season of Summer House.

You don’t even need the context of previous seasons, it’s the Bravo’s version of Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf.

Lainey and Sarah are watching Wagner Moura for the Best Actor race and I agree, there’s quiet momentum building. And then there’s Timothée Chalamet, who feels overexposed right? There’s a shift in the air that’s hard to verbalize but it feels like his chance is waning.

I don’t think Benecio Del Toro will win either (I think it’s Stellan Skarsgård’s year) but “a few small beers” will live on.

Speaking of Stellan Skarsgård, he’s been doing the rounds and talking about his children when it comes up. This is what nepo babies don’t get – normies don’t dislike nepo babies, that is not the default. There’s no need for defensiveness because we want famous families to talk about each other in interviews, it’s fun. We love these freaky Swedes.
