Lin-Manuel Miranda #Ham4All Is Somehow For All Last night I was talking with some women who had loved Leonardo DiCaprio. They appreciate him now, but when they were young, they loved him.

Movie Reviews and Previews In The Heights on the big screen I guarantee the number one question Lin-Manuel Miranda is asked by people who don’t know is “When is Hamilton going to be a movie?” He always answers “Oh… eventually”, which is polite because it doesn’t say what I would say, which is ‘what, being the most successful Broadway By Duana • Mar 01, 2017 04:11 pm
Oscars 2017 Lin-Manuel Miranda’s first Oscars Hi you! I don’t have to tell you this, but you’re getting pretty popular. People who didn’t know you last year call you ‘Lin’ now.

Amazingness Britney helps us preview Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Oscar Excitement On the last Show Your Work podcast, Lainey was matter-of-fact, if not ungentle, when she informed me that Justin Timberlake’s Can’t Stop The Feeling from Trolls is more likely to win the Best Song Oscar than How Far I’ll Go from Moana. I’d have to go By Duana • Feb 24, 2017 01:06 pm

Amazingness Lin-Manuel Miranda: the Oscar fangirl When Lin-Manuel Miranda found out he was nominated for an Oscar, unlike SOME PEOPLE, he did not play too cool for school. Because, as he explained later, he’s a total Oscar nerd. The Oscar nerd went to the Oscar Nominees Luncheon. And the Oscar nerd became an Oscar fangirl. By Lainey • Feb 07, 2017 11:55 am
Award Season Campaigning Lin-Manuel Miranda was not sleeping Lin-Manuel Miranda is an “O” away from EGOT. He might not get it. He probably won’t get it? La La Land is the presumed frontrunner in the Best Song category. And Justin Timberlake can’t stop being Justin Timberlake so, as I mentioned yesterday, it might take a miracle.

Donald Glover My dream dinner party You know that classic ice breaker question, “If you could invite five celebrities to a dinner party, who would it be and why?” If you were to ask me right now, three of the five answers to that question would be Donald Glover, Issa Rae and Lin-Manuel Miranda.

Sounds kind of badass, right? “Kingkiller” kind of sounds like “Kingslayer”, so maybe this By Sarah • Nov 30, 2016 02:05 pm
Ashanti Douglas Hamilton mixtape nostalgia This post is about The Hamilton Mixtape but it’s also about Ja Rule and Ashanti. Don’t stop reading.

Movie Reviews and Previews Moana is just delightful I saw Moana Monday night and have not stopped listening to the songs since. All the songs are credited to Mark Mancina, who also composed the score; Opetaia Foa’i, of the Oceanic band Te Vaka; and Broadway star and alleged heartthrob Lin-Manuel Miranda, and as much as I hate By Sarah • Nov 23, 2016 10:42 am
