Weeee needed something to shake us out of the 1970s, so what better than Madonna's directorial musing on a royal scandal, the critically lambasted W.E. Topics include Madonna vs. Elton at the Globes, Andrea Riseborough's best performances, "the Sotheby's of the Mind," and our top Madonna songs (put down your torches!).

A young Sofia Coppola was in Madonna’s Deeper And Deeper Video. Another Madonna video obsessed with movies

Re: Abbie Cornish’s real voice, it’s on display in an Australian movie called Candy, wherein she & Heath Ledger play codependent heroin addicts. It’s pretty good but really sad in hindsight considering the Heath Ledger of it all.

Joe's declaration of "gonna just start calling it the YearX – YearX+1 awards" is a great idea. It also feels like one of those moments in THOB history that is gonna have a huge impact and years from now people will be asking what episode it happened on. Then they're gonna end up right here, listening to a discussion of W.E.

Ahh, the secret third music Oscar category. I did a spit-take when I first found out about it.

WE is a true Benadryl movie truer words were never spoken 💊

I’m just here for the Survivor takes now after the Charlie-Maria post season drama

After spending the last 48 hours arguing with friends who believe that Thursday’s verdict means that American democracy is saved (it doesn’t), I could use a trip to the Sotheby’s of the Mind. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Drive's good, but Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy for costumes is a mind meltingly good call. Such yellows such browns.

Regarding Abbie’s accent, I remember Ryan Kwanten was told by a dialect coach when he was working on True Blood, that a southern American accent is the easiest accent for Australians to get because they have similarities.

I will die defending american life IDC!!!!!!

What a start to get the Charlie/Maria friendship comments given the fallout of final tribal. More Survivor takes please! Every other outlet is too straight

Harriet Ware

Love hearing other people’s top 10s! Solid rankings, songs you didn’t mention on my list are bad girl, into the groove, justify my love, sky fits heaven, true blue :)

Classic, "Oh right, this IS ineligible for the main show!" cinema.

The full SCREAM I let out when I heard that the Albert Nobbs song lyrics were written by Glenn Close!!! Intrigued to know others' Madonna top 10s! In no particular order mine are: Take a Bow, Open Your Heart, Deeper and Deeper, Vogue, Love Profusion (justice for the American Life album), I'll Remember, Who's That Girl, Drowned World (Substitute for Love), Music, Hung Up (because I'm a basic gay). I also love that Madonna premiered 'Frozen' as her comeback performance on, of all things, the UK National Lottery Saturday night show: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxKYpV2F5jM

5. Dress You Up 4. More 3. Causing a Commotion 2. Borderline 1. Cherish

Also, the Best Original Musical category has existed since 2000. There just have never been enough eligible original movie musicals released in a single year to ever activate it.

On the matter of DICK TRACY, i'll say...I prefer "What Can You Lose?" but "Sooner or Later" IS more the Madonna song to note/praise. I found this important to say. Thank you for your time.

Jenny Maurer

Oh sheeesh uhh I’m Not fully Madonna pilled but these are all equal in my eyes 5) take a bow 4) frozen 3) over and over 2) rescue me 1) express yourself

Top 10 Madonna off the cuff: 10. Into the Groove 9. Beautiful Stranger 8. Papa Don’t Preach 7. Hung Up 6. Vogue 5. Ray of Light 4. Borderline 3. Like a Prayer 2. Crazy for You 1. Open Your Heart With the caveat that I am not a Madonna superfan but wanted to be included. This movie is far and away the worst thing Madonna has ever contributed to the culture.

I am basic. 5, Deeper and Deeper 4, Frozen 3, Vogue 2, into the groove 1, Like a Prayer As for the Nazi links. Wallis was sympathetic to the Nazis and had an affair with the German ambassador to the UK, Joachim von Ribbentrop. Edward separately had fascist sympathies before he met Wallis. when Wallis and Edward were married they went on a much publicised trip to Germany and they both met Hitler. During the early days of the war Edward still hung out with people known to be close to the Nazis and spilled military secrets. During the fall of France rather than following military orders and withdraw to England, Edward went to fascist Spain and Portugal and hung out in pro axis circles. The Nazis considered putting him back on the throne after an invasion. Noel Coward spied on him for British intelligence and got the message back to Churchill about his much of a danger he was. So basically he was threatened that he either go to the Bahamas (safely out the way) or he would be denounced as a traitor/ deserter publicly. He went to the Bahamas as governor but even there was up to no good.

Another important thing about this Golden Globes is Meryl’s win. During her speech at the 5:28 mark, she says “I gotta thank everyone in England, who let me trample all over their history”. The camera immediately pans to Madonna. Definitely a purposeful move. https://youtu.be/Gt_xzFftXO0?si=CTlddSWOJS0fz3Y_
