Beginning next Friday, December 15, 2017, will be the first “Entertainment Weekend” thread.
Consider this the segue.
“Entertainment Weekend” is not only for music but also for movies and television and anything else covering the world of entertainment. (If anyone wants to mention theatre, that is also good.) So, one can continue to post music videos. But, it is encouraged that you use this new weekend thread to treat it as an overall entertainment mediums thread on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays.
This was going to begin Friday, January 5, 2018. I wanted to time it with the new year. But, December is the month which kicks off the Oscar season with film group prizes from National Board of Review, Los Angeles Film Critics Association, and New York Film Critics Circle. (The Golden Globe nominations are also announced in the month of December. The fourth major film group, National Society of Film Critics, is typically the first weekend of every January.) The following is a list of winners for the year 2017. But, please keep in mind that I’m not saying one has to now talk Oscar. Just go ahead with about anything movies, television, music, and theatre. (Performing arts.) You can even start today. After all, this blog thread’s title is “Music | Entertainment Weekend.”

In the following video, Richard Jenkins, a 2008 best-actor Oscar nominee for The Visitor and 2015 Emmy winner for HBO’s Olive Kitteridge, and Laurie Metcalf, who won three Emmys for ABC’s Roseanne (1992, 1993, 1994) and a 2017 Tony for A Doll’s House, Part 2, were interviewed by Variety about their work. Jenkins stars, and will likely get nominated for the 2017 Oscar for best supporting actor, in The Shape of Water. Metcalf stars in Lady Bird. If Metcalf goes on to win the 2017 Oscar for best supporting actress, she would become the 24th actor to have won the Triple Acting Crown: Oscar, Tony, and Emmy. Since 2015, this has become a trend reached by Helen Mirren, Frances McDormand (facing a likely 2017 best-actress Oscar nomination for Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri), Jessica Lange and, the 2016 Oscar winner for supporting actress in Fences, Viola Davis.
