Today the nominations for the Primetime Emmy Awards were announced and this is a summary of my thoughts reading the shortlist:
My favourite looks from the 2020 SAG Awards
Last night it was the 2020 Screen Actors Guild Awards – one of the top acting award ceremonies – and there were a lot of interesting fashion choices on the red carpet.
Big Little Lies season two didn’t do enough to justice its existence
When it was announced that Big Little Lies was coming back for a season two, I criticised the idea on Metro.co.uk, saying it was only meant to be one series, as the action covered all of Liane Moriarty‘s book, and there was no real reason for a continued storyline, except for that little detective tease at the very end. I loved the first season and didn’t want a rushed, half-arsed follow-up to ruin it – and that’s generally what we got.
A Wrinkle in Time: Film Review
I wanted to love A Wrinkle in Time because it is a Disney movie, and I generally love all their stuff, because it is directed by Ava DuVernay, and has an incredible cast, including Oprah Winfrey, Reese Witherspoon and Mindy Kaling, but I just came away feeling a bit meh. It was fine, I guess I liked it, but I didn’t connect with the story at all.

Emmys 2017: Best and Worst Dressed
It doesn’t feel like awards season ever really stopped, but it’s properly back in full swing! WOOHOO.
I don’t want a Big Little Lies season two
Big Little Lies, which ended in the U.S. aaaages ago, finally got its finale in the U.K. this week and I LOVED it. I enjoyed the whole show and I was sad that we wouldn’t be getting more episodes but upon further reflection, I’ve come to the conclusion that I don’t want there to be a season two.
Sing: Film Review
Sing is the perfect combo of many things I love – pop music, The X Factor-style singing competition, Taron Egerton and animated movies – so it was pretty much a given I was gonna love it and I sure did!
Hot Pursuit: Film Review
Hot Pursuit has been out in the U.S. for aaages and it is finally released in the U.K. this week and while its standard comedy fare and not particularly noteworthy, it is still pretty good if you want some easy laughs.
