Well....it's been a hot minute hasn't it peeps?
Needless to say I haven't been doing much acting, so not much to report besides a few auditions here and there. I've been contemplating lately, about how much time I put into it and more importantly DON'T put into it. I am noticing I am enjoying watching other people's acting journeys unfolding more than my own. Ie...NETFLIX BINGING or GETTING SUPERFAN EXCITED WHEN FRIENDS GET GIGS!
I kinda like throwing my hair up and avoiding makeup sometimes, ya know? And one can get burnt out on the endless self promoting too. However, I think my biggest turn off honestly, has been the fact that it's been Hot as Balls and I have no AC in my car so the thought of getting dressed up for an audition and sitting in traffic then showing up like a wet noodle is not appeally. hahaha SAD but TRUE.
I mean if Shondra Rhimes called me up tomorrow, don't get me wrong....I'd show up with wet wipes and a big ol' smile on my face! I'd rally for that lady! She is one of my favorite show creators the past 2 years especially.
Speaking of!!!! Big Congrats to VOILA DAVIS for here EMMY WIN this year! She stole my heart the moment I saw her first words in THE HELP. If you watch her performances and you do not go on an emotional rollercoaster with her and everything she emotes....you might not be human or have a heart. Just sayin' She is absolutely steller and is so worthy of the honor!
Lots of great Under Dog Actors receive praise this year! I only say under dog because a lot of their careers up until now have been, character/supporting roles. Side kicks, friends, comedy relief, etc happy to say that seems to be changing. Actings chops actually matter again! Hip Hip Hurray!
Other winners this year:
Richard Jenkins - Love him! Such a solid, committed actor, ALWAYS
Frances McDormand - I'm mean, what can't you praise her for?
Jeffrey Tambor - He has been killing it for decades....decades
Jon Hamm - gotta say, he started as just a pretty face but season 2 he turned it around for me, really took good chances emotionally and won me over. Go Jon!
Julia Louis-Dreyfus - comedic genius...all that really needs to be said
Anyways, these people are endlessly entertaining and inspiring to watch. It is so great to see the underdogs acknowledged!
Until Next time Ya'll
