The winners of the Golden Globe 2021 in the name of politically correct, but it is the art that pays the price
The Golden Globe Awards took place in Los Angeles, in full it was "politically correct", and most of the victories went to women and artists of color, with very few exceptions (The Crown, Borat). Let's see them in detail. The most coveted award goes to a woman in a film about women: Chloé Zhao in the play “Nomadland” starring Frances Mcdormand. The Best Actress Award goes to Andra Day, African American interpreter, for "United States Vs. Billie Holiday", which wins competition from Carey Mulligan and the beautiful Vanessa Kirby, western and white, in "Pieces of a Woman".

Not Everything Needs To Be A Cinematic Universe
It’s no secret that the Marvel Cinematic Universe is dominating the entertainment industry, and with good reason. So, it’s no surprise that many other studios are attempting to do the same thing. What makes the MCU so successful is the foundation it first laid out with individual characters and stories to get us invested and watch them grow. The Dark Universe failed because it struggled to make people invested in the individual movies and characters. A monster mash-up sounds interesting in theory, but if no time is spent making us care about the movies they’re in then audiences won’t care about the monsters getting together.

Love These Tropes-Try These Shows
As someone who watches more TV than she cares to admit, I love finding a new TV show that is similar to my favorites but also offers a new twist.

Fasten Your Seatbelts
There are works of art that make an indelible impression. No matter how many times you view them, they never get old, or tired. Instead, they demand your return, a fresh eye — and that returning never disappoints.

Winter is Coming.. and the Vikings are here
We all know that it will be difficult to find a show that is as well done as Game of Thrones again in our lifetime. For those of you who are in the know about lemon cake, wildfire, the Lord of Light, the faceless man, the Wildlings and the wall then you have watched Game of Thrones and I’ll bet, loved it.

Cloud Atlas with a Chance of Sense8
One theme that has stood the test of time in my consciousness has always been connecting people. Connecting them in a deeper way than traditional familial structures through birth or marriage.

A Little Bit Alexis is a Little Bit Aries
Aries are known to be charming and confident, as we relentlessly pursue our goals and try to run the world. Do I consider myself a typical Aries? Yes, I do. Granted, I haven't studied the rest of the zodiac, except of course to evaluate the forecast of my relationships with others, but otherwise, I feel like I’m being seen when I read my horoscope. And yes, I do realize it is with a self-serving lens.

Disney Hercules
Frozen, Beauty & the Beast, The Lion King, The Little Mermaid, Up! Yes, all brilliant in their own ways. I don’t need to take the time to explain how they acclaimed their fame & fortunate. In fact, I don’t need to explain how Disney makes it’s magic at all - that ship sails itself.
