Did Olivia Colman Give the Most Endearing Oscars Speech Since Sally Field's?

-

If Olivia Colman hasn't already won your heart with her incredible talent and earnest wit, her adorable speech at the Academy Awards is sure to do the trick. On Sunday, the 45-year-old actress was visibly stunned as she took home the Oscar for best actress for her role as Queen Anne in The Favourite. "It's genuinely quite stressful," she laughingly admitted. "This is hilarious . . . I got an Oscar!"

Colman went on to thank the film's director, Yorgos Lanthimos, along with her castmates and her agent. Possibly the most endearing moment of her speech came when Colman mentioned fellow nominees - Lady Gaga, Melissa McCarthy, Yalitza Aparicio, and Glenn Close - and couldn't help but fangirl over Close (which is completely understandable). "And to be in this category with these extraordinary women . . . ," the Oscar winner began, before getting distracted by Close. "Glenn Close, you've been my idol for so long and this is not how I wanted it to be. I think you're amazing and I love you very much!"

Again, definitely an understandable reaction to any proximity to Close. The actress then thanked her parents and her "best friend" and husband, Ed ("25 years and you've been my best supporter"), and she shouted out her children, who she said she hoped were still up watching at home because "this is not going to happen again." Colman also dedicated her Oscar win to aspiring actresses, saying, "Any little girl that's practicing her speech on the telly, you never know."

Watch the truly delightful speech ahead - including Colman ending her speech by just exclaiming, "Lady Gaga!"

The Circle: Meet the Real "Emily" - aka Jack's Catfish Persona

-

A 20-year-old astrophysics and economics student from New Haven, CT, Jack Atkins made quite the first impression in The Circle season two premiere. He tells viewers straight off, "I'm honestly down to go down as the biggest villain in Circle history. I don't really care." I mean, an intro package doesn't get much better than that. Kudos, Jack! Or shall we say . . . Emily? In the first episode, we learn Jack is here to play a "very strategic, manipulative, cutthroat game." Being a college student, Jack says he's a self-declared nerd but with a wild, goofy side. Nervous his authentic personality (and BDE) might cost him the $100,000 prize, he enters The Circle group chat as Emily, a girly girl from the Windy City, who also happens to be a close friend of his IRL. Jack explains in his confessional that he wants fellow competitors to look at his profile and go "'That's a face I can trust.'" "When it comes to strategy ther...

What Selling Tampa Tells Us About Diversity in Real Estate and Selling Sunset

-

When it comes to reality TV on Netflix, Selling Sunset is prime real estate (pun intended). Season four dropped on Nov. 24 , and a brand-new spinoff, Selling Tampa , followed on Dec. 15. Unlike Selling Sunset , which follows the drama behind the elite real estate brokerage firm The Oppenheim Group , Selling Tampa spotlights a Florida-based, women-led, Black-owned business, Allure Realty. The show adds much-needed representation to Netflix's real estate reality TV lineup. But Selling Tampa 's creation compels us to take a hard look at Selling Sunset and the representation among its agents in an industry that lacks diversity. In its first season, the cast of Selling Sunset was all white. Agents like Amanza Smith (a mixed-race Black woman) and Vanessa Villela (who is Mexican) joined The Oppenheim Group in seasons two and four, respectively, but most of the nine women dishing the drama on screen on Selling Sunset remain white. Looking at the numbers, this isn't too far ...
