wow, that snuck up on me! apologies for not being as dialed in this award season, I’ve had a LOT going on!
One quick aside, I can’t believe I’ve written over 30 of these letters!!! Kind of feel like I deserve at LEAST a Golden Globe for that accomplishment! The Oscar however goes to you my readers! THANK YOU for your encouragement! Thank you for subscribing, reading, commenting, replying, telling your friends, the list goes on! Pop Culture truly is my passion lololol and every time I get a text or a DM asking what I think about Margot Robbie’s latest barbie red carpet lewk or if I saw Selena Gomez’s weird ass instagram with ugo Benny Blanco, just any reference to what I’m doing over here on Substack my heart skips a beat!
The big day is NEXT SUNDAY march 10th !!! next year i promise to host a true banger Oscars Party at my HAMPTONS HOUSE!!!!!!! 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
While I’ve been more quiet than intended this awards season, after the all the Oscar nomination drama it WAS a rather uneventful season!
some highlights include -
Ayo Edebiri SWEEP ! Golden Globe, Emmy, Critics Choice, and SAG AWARD WINNER! Lookin chic as hell on every carpet, delivering continuous charming, humble, and hilarious speeches and not to mention hosting maybe the funniest SNL episode in recent seasons. You truly LOVE to see it.
Lately I can’t STFU about how much smarter, wittier, more clever and just overall BETTER any and all British content is. From books, to TikToks, I only want to engage with things set in/written by a Brit. The BAFTAs bringing out Sophie Ellis-Bextor to perform “Murder on the Dancefloor” just hit this point home for me.
LAST NIGHT I had a dream West Coast Office and I saw these two at a pub and they invited us to smoke a cheeky fag <3 ~manifesting~
between me and embod who do you think is the paul mescal and who is the andrew scott?
Ayo is all of us realizing Kate Middleton has not been seen in the flesh since December 25th and something is starting to feel VERY FISHYYYYYYYY
i’m sure you’ve seen it by now but this DWP reunion did bring me a lot of joy. I think i want to watch that movie tonight, actually sunday. that’s a great sunday movie
How can one not SWOON at Pedro?!
Carey Mulligan’s BOB. The purest definition of perfection.
Aidy Bryant hosted the Independent Spirit Awards further reminding me how much I IRRATIONALLY lol loathe Kimmel and really need someone else to host the Oscars
However, this promo is funny -
