By the way, this is how accept an award from a LEGEND/ DIVA. You pay REVERENCE. You acknowledge them at the very least!. And to those that will say she was “caught in the moment”, this was Miley’s FIRST Grammy win.

This is one of my favorite scenes in any movie. That moment in “A Woman Under the Influence” when Gena Rowlands picks her kids up at the bus. Probably one of my favorite portrayals of motherhood onscreen. I love all her “mom” scenes so much, I have them saved on my phone.

@swiftmaximoffs I don’t think it was a pointed snub or done out of malice. But she definitely could’ve been a lot more tactful in that moment. Especially since there is so much love for Celine right now with all her health issues. It’s rare she makes a public appearance these days.

The songwriters of “Run to You” discussing not only how talented Whitney Houston was, but also how nice & focused she was during the recording process. It’s one thing to hear how talented your fave is. But it’s another thing to know they were actually a decent human being. ❤️

A fun Janet Jackson concert takeaway, Janet ballads go OFF in the Philippines. Maybe more so than the States?. I think it’s largely because karaoke culture is huge in the Philippines. So sentimental balladry is a staple with us Filipinos. Ballads arguably got the best response?

One of my favorite Cate Blanchett-isms is how she’s able to make A MOMENT out of seemingly minuscule movement. IE - getting off the floor in “Carol”. But another standout moment is how she takes off her jacket in “The Aviator” in one foul swoop.

Aside from her gritty, soulful voice & fearless stage presence, what I always admired about Tina Turner was her resilience. Add to that her willingness to share her darkness - especially during an era when that was taboo. She is strength & vulnerability personified.
Soulful diva Tina Turner, who succeeded a lengthy run of ’60s and ’70s R&B hits in tempestuous partnership with husband Ike Turner with major pop stardom in the ’80s, has died. She was 83.

Fully concur. Nicole Kidman has a face for horror. (COMPLIMENTARY!). The emotions she can convey and angles she can achieve with her eyes & eyebrows alone make her PRIME for the horror genre, imho. We need something to join "The Others" & "Stoker" in the Kidman horror canon.
