New York Three Way

Oh, get your mind out of the gutter. I could be referring to the dish in which you combine spaghetti, chili, and cheese! I’m not, though. I’m actually referring to Rose Byrne, Maya Hawke, and Arden Cho, all of whom stepped out yesterday in New York City.

Rose and Maya stopped by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Rose is stumping for her work in If I Had Legs I’d Kick You, for which she is nominated for both a Golden Globe and a SAG Award (I, too, shall never call it the “Actor Award”). She should be heading to Los Angeles any moment for Sunday’s Golden Globes telecast. At this point, I think Rose is a shoo-in for an Oscar nomination, but Jessie Buckley remains the front-runner for Best Actress. I do wonder, though, if Rose’s years working with so many people in all corners of the industry—comedy, drama, film, television—will pay off in the form of an Oscar night surprise. And never forget that Rose is tight with Seth Rogen, who has a lot of pull in the industry, and could do some backroom campaigning for her.

Maya Hawke, meanwhile, is celebrating the end of Stranger Things. Of all the kids involved in Stranger Things, I think she has among the strongest odds to excel in her post-Hawkins career. Sure, she’s connected, but she’s also talented, and let’s be honest, some of those kids didn’t turn out to be good actors. Sadie Sink, who had already appeared on Broadway before bagging Stranger Things, also has a good shot at a strong career in her twenties. (Millie Bobby Brown I expect to take a break and focus on her private life and family for a while.)

Maya is busy, with two films due this year, One Night Only with Callum Turner—who is apparently telling everyone he’s the new James Bond, granted the source is the Daily Mail—and Monica Barbaro, and The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping. Next year, she stars in Wishful Thinking, a rom-com co-starring guess who: Lewis Pullman. (Get on the Pullman train now, I am telling you!) So Maya will have plenty of opportunities to move past Stranger Things in the next couple of years.

As for Arden Cho, she wore a SUPER cute houndstooth outfit coming out of NBC Studios. I mostly just want to include this spectacularly cute ensemble. As she, the speaking voice of Huntr/x member Rumi, was on the east coast, EJAE and the singing members of Huntr/x were on the west coast, performing on Jimmy Kimmel Live!. The Golden Globes are Sunday, KPop Demon Hunters is nominated three times, and they should win a couple of trophies (animated film and original song). The KDPH trophy train is leaving the station!

Here are the ladies of Huntr/x performing “Golden” on Jimmy Kimmel Live!:
