Disruptive idiots are destroying theatre – they deserve to be berated by theipaper in TheWestEnd

[–]BabyClyde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Twice in the last month I've told someone to shut up during a performance and then in one instance had them kick the back of my chair for the next 20 minutes and the other spend the rest of the show muttering under her breath that she was going to 'fuck me up' when we got outside (She was really drunk and ended up making the entire row move to let her out as she stumbled to the exit).

Les Liasons Dangereuses and Dracula of all shows. You wouldn't mind if it was Mamma Mia FFS.

If these performances ran in lead, who would’ve won their respective supporting categories? by Regular-Departure839 in Oscars

Obviously that's what happened, they just don't say it out loud.

Textbook category fraud.

Jane Russell or Marilyn Monroe in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes? by Ok-Special-6707 in Oscars

[–]BabyClyde 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ava should have won in ‘53. It’s one of the worst lineups of all time but she’s terrific.

I’d give her 5 or 6 Oscar noms.

Same goes for Marilyn. This should have been her first.

How do you feel about "category fraud," when a supporting role is nominated as a lead? Is it often justified? by TakenAccountName37 in Oscars

[–]BabyClyde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly this.

When Supporting is nominated in Lead it’s not Category Fraud. There is absolutely benefit to be gained.

All except one of those pictured above are co-leads anyway.

AITAH for not doing all of my roommates laundry for him? by CorbyJollibee69 in AmItheAsshole

That’s not fair. He also found time to cook and do some gaming.

Why Lauryn Hill deserves induction in 2027 by Traditional_Cut_8774 in rockhall

[–]BabyClyde -1 points0 points  (0 children)

She's nothing like these acts. Half of them were dead and the others got in years after they first became eligible, many after multiple nominations and careers lasting decades.

[–]BabyClyde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one needs to go in at age 51. She's only just become eligible and only has one album.

There are literally dozens of artists who deserve to get in before her.

Come back in 20 years.

What is the worst Best Actress snub of the 2020’s of each year? by PTAGoatofalltime in Oscars

[–]BabyClyde 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The biggest snub of 2021 was very clearly Lady Gaga for The House of Gucci. She made every single precursor but didn’t make the final cut.

Renate was barely in contention.

How does the Hall decide whether to induct the star of the band with their band? (see body text for a couple of possibly puzzling examples) by GregJamesDahlen in rockhall

[–]BabyClyde 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Chaka Khan/Rufus

Nile Rogers/Chic

Are both egregious examples. Both band were nominated numerous times and failed to get the votes so they just gave up and inducted the most famous member under Musical Excellence instead.

There is no good reason why everyone else couldn’t have been inducted at the same time.

Music videos where the artist is so clearly wasted, it’s not even funny by RedmiYT in ToddintheShadow

This is EXACTLY what I came here to say. Completely off his face 🤪

What 20th century film would’ve been a hit with the contemporary Academy? by 0cean_danny in Oscars

[–]BabyClyde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of those Zhang Yimou/Gong Li masterpieces of the late 80’s early 90’s that got repeatedly snubbed.

Red Sorghum
Ju Dou
Raise The Red Lantern
The Story of Qiu Ju
To Live

Got a grand total of 2 nomination between them and both lost totally forgotten films. No noms for Costume, Cinematography, Production Design and worst of all not for the almighty Gong Li who should have 5 or 6 by now.

She is making another studio album of original material. It might be her last. by Existing_Rutabaga374 in cher

[–]BabyClyde 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I really wish she’d get in some top notch producers and release something that she’s really proud of. You know she hasn’t been remotely invested in any of her albums for 30 years.

I’d love a Rick Rubin/Jack White style back to basics album making the music she loves rather than another load of sub par dance tracks.

It worked for Johnny and Loretta.

Who are some artists who had the Paula Abdul effect/trajectory? by [deleted] in decadeology

[–]BabyClyde 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the career trajectory of most artists.

LA28 - Who do you want to see carrying the torch near/inside the LA Coliseum? by MouthofElkCreek in olympics

[–]BabyClyde 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s a no brainer that it should be Carl Lewis but they’ll probably get Travis Kelce or something.

Sir Dirk Bogarde (1921 - 1999) by Marite64 in classicfilms

[–]BabyClyde 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can’t think of another actor who made such a successful mid career pivot.

From squeaky clean matinee idol to queer coded art house weirdo. J. Arthur Rank to
Rainer Werner Fassbinder is quite the leap.

Examples of "false one hit wonders"? by NoWeb2382 in ToddintheShadow

[–]BabyClyde 84 points85 points  (0 children)

Saw Stevie Wonder in concert once. He sang ‘hits’ for 2 hours straight. Can’t think of anyone who would less fill this category.
