In a perfect world, Jordan Gavaris would get some nominations for playing Felix as well.  Fingers crossed.

And just a few minutes ago, lead actress Tatiana Maslany won the Critic's Choice award for best actress in a drama.   Woot!

The show's been very low on the radar so far, the season ended with miniscule ratings although it's been gaining ground since day one due to word of mouth.  And the lead actress just beat Claire Danes, Vera Farmiga,  Julianna Margulies, Elisabeth Moss and Keri Russell tonight - that should help raise the industry profile a bit.

The best news - despite the low ratings the show's already been renewed for a second season.   So get over to iTunes or Amazon this minute and get on board, so you can be all cool later and say you were always a fan.

When you write The Game of Thrones, you finish or you die.

Animators are still plentiful and important.  A good animator can take mocap data if asked to, and know what to use and what to enhance.   A snarky animator will call it The Devil's Rotoscope and be a sad panda, but that's their problem.

Seconded.   Although I give Anna Kendrick a lot of credit for classing up the joint as much as possible.   

Rebel Wilson was clearly hired to do the same schtick she did in Bridesmaids, just too much of it and not as sharply written.    And I figured there'd be at least some kickass musical numbers, but blown away I was not.

Especially Anna Kendrick's "audition".    Is tapping a plastic cup and moaning softly considered musical skill now?  I feel like there was a punchline that I missed on that one.

But, as with many movies, I am not the target audience.  I can see teenage girls digging that movie all to hell and back and good for them.  It's pretty much their Revenge of the Nerds.   Just not mine.
