SAG Awards 2019 Chris Pine Wears Clothes Chris Pine is not my Best Chris—that would be Hemsworth—but maybe he’s yours. He is enough people’s Best Chris that I accept him as A Best Chris.

Hysterics were expected. This is a groundbreaking musical about young people taken too soon by a senseless disease. It’s about the magic that can happen when By Kathleen • Jan 28, 2019 08:14 am
SAG Awards 2019 Alison Brie is living in the 80s Alison Brie was, once again, a double-nominee for her role on GLOW. GLOW is set in the 1980s.
