Ten years since The Force Awakens… now that’s wild. I’ll always have a soft spot for that movie. A core memory was seeing it at a 7am screening with my Pops in Gaffney, South Carolina — just down the road from our own local Starkiller Base (yes, the big peach. You know the one).

Saw Hamnet today. Best film as well as the most devastating emotionally in years. Even after leaving the theater, I felt like I was going to start crying. Again.
I have no idea who else will get nominated, but I can’t fathom l a performance out there that can top Jessie Buckley’s.
