- I think Tom not only breaks his Oscar nomination drought but wins Best Actor again. -- (edited) - Inigo Nov 13, 09:00 3
  - He might be in Best Supporting Actor category this year. -- nm - LMS Nov 13, 09:08 1
    - That's beginning to look like a brutally tough category this year esp. if they make Pitt supporting for OUATIH. -- nm - Baron of Beef Nov 13, 09:13
  - someone needed to of rushed a Hanks biopic so Hanks as Mr Rogers could be facing off against Actor A in it for Best Actor -- nm - Beaker Nov 13, 09:02

    - There were never not going to be public hearings. -- nm - Reagen Nov 13, 08:58

- Start the countdown to when he's back in the ring. - Will Hunting Nov 13, 06:55 12

    - It’s kind of shocking how much better AEW has been so far. - David, Earth’s Mightiest Hero Nov 13, 07:40 3
      - I’d never seen an actual match like Mox vs Omega. - Qale Nov 13, 07:44 1
        
        I don’t find the women talent in AEW to be close to WWE. -- nm - pmb Nov 13, 07:53
      - I’m still a little more wish washy (in part because I’m still getting to know the players), but last week’s profile of Jericho was fantastic. - pmb Nov 13, 07:44
  - he's said he's up for it. If he gets the Brock schedule and money. And you can't compare ratings of today back to 2001 - Remlik Nov 13, 07:07 6
    - also Punk signed with Fox not WWE. So that would be a whole different deal. And he won't be on Fox every week, that will be interesting. - Remlik Nov 13, 07:10 5
      - HOF next year? - eag Nov 13, 07:28 4
        
        Easy. This has been a repeatable observation. -- nm - Qale Nov 13, 07:38

  - I would like to tell you all that kate beckinsale is almost as great on IG as is chrissy tiegen. less, but great. -- nm - amanda Nov 13, 07:23
  - My wife recently broke down. Couldn't stand her, but slowly but surely, drip, drip, drip... "You know? She's pretty fun." -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Nov 13, 07:07 1
    - This was my take. Why is she always in my face? What does she "do"? But I've realized she's just about fun. -- nm - zunkskunk Nov 13, 07:19
- Valid point -- (link) - Roger More Nov 13, 06:45 3

Masked Singer tonight. Who's going home? Ladybug, right? -- (edited) - Baron of Beef Nov 13, 06:10 3
- Has to be - but honestly, I could see Patt-er Flower going home too. She keeps going outside her wheelhouse... - Alex Wilder Nov 13, 06:57 2
  - Indeed. The small number of voters makes things unpredictable, especially with a 5 way race. It doesn't take much for a surprise last place finish. -- nm - Baron of Beef Nov 13, 07:00 1
    - Patti needs to come in tonight with something in her wheelhouse and that'll carry her to the end. It's all about strategy. -- nm - Alex Wilder Nov 13, 08:14
Yeah, so that Kaep workout... -- (link) - decline Nov 13, 06:03

  - Well, have you seen one from close distance? (NM) - Marlowe Nov 13, 06:18 1
    - No way, that's how they spread the germs. They sucker you in with cuteness then ka-blammo! Face sneeze. -- nm - Baron of Beef Nov 13, 06:57
