So I was behind only 2 episodes Luckily. so this is where I'm at after being caught Up!
Now Last but Never least RuPaul's Drag Race . Oh how My favorite reality show/Monday Night KiKi is getting down to the wire! I was so sad to see my girl Trinity k. Bonet
Leave.She did a complete 180 ( not a 360 she had it in her! lol) and
opened up! But Her Runway was sickening & she's in my book as one of
the FIERCEST Lip-syncers in #Herstory Now Props to Miss Adore Delano!!! She heard Tamar Braxton-Herbert STAY & FIGHT! Lol Those last 2 Lip-syncs,Crazy! It was kinda Sad to see Joslyn Fox go too. Silly,Quirky & Loved to show that body hunny! Wonk! Wonk! So Now Top 5 with Adore is My 2 Favs The Bianca Del Rio & BenDeLaCreme ,Miss Australia Courtney Act & The Shady Dame Miss Darienne Lake That's all RuPaul Lol #RuPaulsDragRace

360 transform. I know he's having his moment of "Doing Me" but i dunno
However I am glad Chad seems okay even though he still with dude that
left him in M.I.A. But he's not alone so Hey! Now the only ones I'm
wondering about is Trouble Tony &
Xavier. They're both kinda quiet except Tony as usual lol Oh and If Mr.
Gangsta Tyson done got himself a baby, oh lawdy. what he gonna do with a
mouth to feed and who's that girl? lolI will wait to talk about This
new Troubled Cop Saleem till i see more, but he's suspect Lol OK that's all i got Mr.Lamont Pierré & Cast Lol #TeamFreefall#FreefallArmy

lucky because she wouldn't have been talking to me like that OH NO
MA'AM And That's all i got for you right now Roger Omeus Jr & CAST Lmao #FindingMetheSeries
So working overnights are a Drag(segway Lol). So sometimes I'm not able to catch up on lets say SCANDAL (Sorry Kerry I still Love IT & YOU!!!) . I unfortunately let that ship sail away season 2, because everyone would have posted what happened by time i got to work so what was is the point Lol So I'm usually destined to things that are either on demand-able and not talked about during or right after as much. So these are my 3 top shows right now. A reality show, A Black Drama & Black Gay Crime Drama. Interesting choices Right???
With what was months of agonizing waiting to see who the cast was. they finally released a sickening trailer and then we anxiously awaited an extra month to what turned out to be an intriguing season. Full of some very dare i say FISHY QUEENS ( i never say that phrase ever! Lmao) With the 14 contestants split up on Days 1 & 2 Then the remaining 12 to meet on day 3 Yikes! It was Awesomeness. Grateful Ru did something different. But It's been filled with the usual catty drama INTENSIFIED and some really genuine Great Warm Gay Moment! :-)
One of My Favorite New Web-series of last year has returned and with some interesting plot twists , changes, and some new characters lurking including a undercover cop. Which is leading me to believe this season Mr. Lamont Pierre isn't playing games! After a successful fundraising campaign they're back and look forward to the brighter/darker future!The Characters has really progressed even from a lil vacation in M.I.A which completely & realistically lead to the season finale which had soo many questions
This one is another web-series i love, also because i have some personal investment in it ... well sort of. If you recall i mentioned last year i was to be on it :-) But due to some scheduling issues at the time i wasn't able to do it :-( However I'm not one to Bow out gracefully i still support the show and it's movement. The way last season ended was in crazyness. Now coming back for season is Intense from only 2 episodes. Peoples lives are changing for the better or worst. Grief, Loss, 2nd chances, New Beginning, Unanswered question & relationships. All that :-)
And with that being said, you can see why i stick with 3 :-) For Now! Lol so I'm about to get into their progress as I've missed some episodes but I'm now caught up!!! So Here We Go.....
As it's already into 2014, sorry i missed the celebrations and things.Let's give a end of 2013 recap. I last pasted about Kerry at The Emmy's. Well since then she has lost at the Golden Globes & The SAG awards :-( I don't Get It! Anywho 12 Years A Slave is Sweeping Awards season and is so close to winning and Oscar on March 2. I know Miss Lupita Nyongo is going to win. Sorry JLaw!
So The rest of 2013 for ME was pretty busy. I wasn't booked like Kelly Price, but i managed LOL
Friends , Family, ETC
Well November was Mister's 30 Again Birthday party which was AWESOME. All his peoples came... Like Everybody(including my brother & sister in law) It was a good Birthday his 30 didn't quite go well due to sandy and things of that nature. But it was a good time for him and i was Happy!
Thanksgiving I got to see my cousin Jannelle who i rarely see as she's in the Military. She's a newlywed since March( Her wedding was Great! )
and it was good to see her and she's moving to Nashville which is local compared to some of the places she gets based. so i gotta try to get to see her sometime soon
Christmas was cool. Actually the Family Came by us this year(which never Happens) which was a nice surprise. Sooo Much Food to my hearts content. As they came over Christmas eve & Christmas. It was really good to chill with my cousins by me. We had a good time as usual.
NYE was soooo Chill!. So much to the fact that it was Pops in his Bed. Mister, Our Trini HOmie Jaael & Our Gurl Maurice came through. WE just chilled ate & drank. It was a nice time.A quiet nice way to bring in 2014. I had my Popeye's like i wanted and i was good to go! :-)
Me, Myself,& I
I just finished my first semester at Lehman College, I'm now pursuing my B.F.A. In Multimedia & Performing Arts! (sounds fancy right Lol) It wasn't in my plans it just kinda happened courtesy of an awesome tour & descrip of the plans of a new theater program
While in my last semester at BMCC one of the theatre professors had approached us that Lehman College had interest in us. So me and some of my class mates went to a tour of the school (it ended up being my friend Kenny 1 and were both there now) , and we were sold. So i got in for the Fall semester :-) Which was okay as i unfortunately had one class (which was a doise child lol) Play Analysis which i passed (Thank You Jesus Lol)
So as everyone knows the Biggest letdown of the Emmys was Kerry Washington's Loss! I for one was thoroughly upset and slightly pissed!. I for one was excited and hopeful for her winning this historic honor. Here is my thoughts on the events up to & after !
so it got me thinking about viewership
Ratings
Homelanddrew an all-time high 1.73 million total viewers with its 10 pm bow, up 60 percent from its series debut and representing the pay cabler’s most watched Season 2 premiere ever. For the night, Homeland amassed 2.07 million viewers.Homeland’s second season finale delivered 2.3 million viewers, with 2.7 million for the night, hitting another series high.
Homeland had a 35% increase over the Season 1 finale last December.
Scandal premiered its second season also up to a 2.2 18-49 rating from last year's 2.0 premiere rating.U.S. viewers(million) 6.74In its second season finale, ABC’s red-hot Scandal delivered the series most-watched telecast ever and tied a series high in Adults 18-49 for the 2nd week running. The show also achieved new all-time highs across all key Women (W18-34/W18-49/W25-54) The season finished as the #1 TV series in its slot on each of its last 16 first-run broadcasts.
Scandalspiked over its year-ago first season finale in Total Viewers(+25%) and Adults 18-49 (+39%).
The Numbers don't lie!( Courtesy of L.A Times, Entertainment Weekly & Zap2 it). So you can see clearly that people and the critics were enjoying Scandals rise.So all the ducks were in a row from a heavily successful 2nd season, for Emmy nomination submissions (June 1, 2012 - May 31, 2013 , I looked into it Lol ) For one, I was definite sure that Kerry was going to be in it to win it
The Nomination
I called it! :-) I was uber excited! Her being the 2nd African American behind Cicely Tyson in 1995 was amazing. For her to follow in the footsteps of a Dihann Carroll for being a lead actress in a drama(which i mentioned in my video State Of Black Entertainment ) which was 30yrs ago. This history alone was enough to get you rooting for her, even if you didn't watch it. But look at her competition
Vera Farmiga, “Bates Motel” (A&E)
Michelle Dockery, “Downton Abbey” (PBS)
Claire Danes, “Homeland” (Showtime)
Robin Wright, “House of Cards” (Netflix)
Elizabeth Moss, “Mad Men” (AMC)
Connie Britton, “Nashville” (ABC)
As Vera & Robin are both in new shows in their 1st season it couldn't have gone to them that rarely happens (unless your Claire UGH! lol) Michelle has been here twice before and It's a British show( no shade lol ). It could be Elizabeth's time as Mad Men is slowly fading and same could be said for Connie in Nashville. So that left the potential clash battle of Kerry & Claire.She was the only African American in the category with theses legends proceeding her. With her amazing weekly performance and solid numbers and reviews of the show. We just knew that she was a shoo in,but you never know with Awards!
Emmy Night!
So Kerry looked amazing in her Marchesa
Then this happened when Supporting Actor in A Drama Category was being presented
A Beautiful Moment!
So about and hour later it was that time. Jimmy Fallon presented Lead Actress In A Drama to......
Claire Danes for Homeland
My Initial Shock & Dissapointment
Now Just a disclaimer. I'm not hating on her. I'm not denying her talent or her performance on Homeland. It's a really gripping show and she is awesome on it! But the chick won already! Lol 'm not trying to be funny but I'm serious. She won last year and it was her first season which was great, but this was Kerry's time! Also in her speech, no recognizing everyone in the category especially Kerry!(yes I'm being petty right now, but it's warranted! Lol )
With all that we know fans of the show, Kerry, the Emmy know what it was. This was an historical occasion and a great year in TV for African Americans. Besides Kerry we have Tyler Perry show doing good. Done Cheadle nominated for his how House of lies.Steel magnolias remake which was a ratings Hit had Alfre Woodard give an stellar performance as Ouiser! Both Don & Alfre were nominated.The list goes on. We couldn't get the important one if anything!
I feel like why did the Emmys even feel the need to have that amazing moment with Kerry & Dihann. From what Ms. Carroll was talking about, you understood things in perspective.You understood where we are in TV from a few years back. If you knew good and well that history wouldn't, wasn't and might not happen this year then why setup it up that way. I just felt dare i say tricked.
Twitter Backlash
Child everyone was too through. Twitter was a blaze with thoughts of shock & dismay to Kerry Losing. I even threw my phone down as i was watching it.I wouldn't' t believe the Robbery.
So the Brits have spoken on the new Diana biopic starring Naomi Watts and it's not good
Diana is a biopic about the love affair between the Princess of Wales (Naomi Watts) and heart surgeon Hasnat Khan (Naveen Andrews). The drama, which is directed by Oliver Hirschbiegel, covers the last two years of Diana's life, before her death in a car crash in Paris This is some reviews from British press The Mirror's David Edwards described the film as "a cheap and cheerless effort that looks like a Channel 5 mid-week matinee"He awarded the film one star out of five. Christopher Tookey's one-star review in the Daily Mail brands the film as "terribly, terribly dull". Guardian critic Peter Bradshawwrites "I hesitate to use the term 'car crash drama', "But the awful truth is that, 16 years after that terrible day in 1997, she has died another awful death."
Wow! I know they hated Mary Poppins but this is crazy. I'm thinking that it most likely has to be script related or maybe Naomi Watts(an Aussie) portrayal .But for whatever reason, what i watched in the trailer was amazing. From someone who knew who she was to the world and all the turmoil with the royal family, this movie gives another side i knew nothing about
I think the good thing about the film is it seems to shy away from the typical general Royal Family Drama and focuses more on her life after it and her transition into Dodi Fayed and her untimely death. I think the American critics will eat it up because of Naomi watts performance. after her stellar performance in last year's The Impossible( which was amazing, She would've won if not for J Law) I'm sure she will once again grace the Oscars and hopefully Win!
But time will tell.It opens in Theaters in the U.S Nov 1st P.S check out The trailer!
