Hump Day & Chill

Yesterday the Academy Award Nominations were announced. Thus today we have a Hump Day & Chill celebration as Kristen Stewart did indeed score a Best Actress nomination as Princess Diana for Spencer!

It was looking like Stewart may miss out on this much deserved recognition for what I consider the performance of the year. 

"Yes" Kristen wasn't nominated for a Golden Globe, SAG or BAFTA award for her brilliant once in a lifetime turn as the late, beloved Princess.

But those hacks be damned the Academy got it right and crowned her with her first Academy Award Nomination.

If you haven't seen Spencer I highly recommend it for Ms. Stewart's mesmerizing performance alone. The overall film is pretty great as well.

Thus today we Hump Day & Chill to Kristen Stewart and her Oscar glory.

PS I predict she will take home the gold on March 27, you heard it right here, right now.

TBT: Mistress Mary & Submissive Dick

Who Knew?

My name is Mary Tyler Moore I'll be your Mistress tonight...

A long time ago  on TV there was a sitcom called The Dick Van Dyke Show. It starred Dick Van Dyke (duh) and Mary Tyler Moore as his wife. In typical TV comedy fashion everyone was happy and the problems were work related. 

Both of them went on to do many other things, Dick notably playing Burt in Mary Poppins opposite Julie Andrews. Mary Tyler Moore had her own long running self titled sitcom and received an Academy Award nomination for her portrayal of ice cold Mom Beth Jarrett in on of my favorite films Ordinary People directed by Robert Redford.

Cut to me on the internet last week not sure where I saw this but I came across this quite kinky photo of the two stars shot by famed photographer Annie Leibowitz in 1995. Not sure why it was shot or for what, but I love it and decided to give you all a blast from the more recent past of the two former co-stars. 

Have a good one!
