A Blast From The Past: Renee Zellweger for Diet Coke
In the year 2000, Renee Zellweger was not only starring in movies and working her way to eventually winning two Oscars. She was also apparently spying on her neighbor across the street.
Did it not occur to this guy to get curtains for his bathroom? And also, how loudly is he singing that Renee can hear all of the lyrics to I Want You Want Me? If Renee can hear him from across the street, I can only imagine what it must be like to live right next door to the guy.
That said, I do think this is kind of a cute commercial. The guy is adorable in his dorky way and I’d probably watch him too. But I don’t think he and Renee are ever going to get together because it might kind of creep him out to know that she’s been watching him in the shower for all this time. To be honest, this commercial feels more like a Sandra Bullock movie than a vehicle for Renee Zellweger.
And what exactly does any of this have to do with Diet Coke?

The SAG Honors Parasite and All The Usuals.
The SAG Awards were held tonight. I did not bother to watch them but apparently, a good time was had by all. Parasite won the award for Best Ensemble, which is the SAG equivalent for Best Picture. (1917, which won at the PGA Awards earlier this week, was not nominated for the Ensemble award.) This might mean that Parasite is the new front runner for Best Picture or it might not. Do you remember what won last year? Black Panther.
(I’m a little bit surprised that SAG didn’t go for Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, which is is a film about actors. I mean, Birdman won a prize it didn’t deserve by appealing to the ego of actors. Then again, Once Upon A Time In Hollywood centers on an actor whose career is going downhill so maybe it hits too close to home.)
Joaquin Phoenix, Renee Zellweger, Brad Pitt, and Laura Dern won the acting prizes and I imagine that they’ll repeat at the Oscars. To be honest, it’s hard for me to remember who else is nominated in any of those categories.
Avengers: Endgame won for Best Stunt Ensemble. Why isn’t their an Oscar category for Best Stunts? Seriously, that’s messed up.
Anyway, here’s your list of film winners. They also gave out some TV awards but, to be honest, who cares about that in January? The Emmys are over! If you want to see a full list of winners, click here or do a google search. Whatever works for you.
Best Ensemble — Parasite
Best Actor — Joaquin Phoenix, Joker
Best Actress — Renee Zellweger, Judy

Lisa Marie’s Oscar Predictions For December
Well, here we go!
This is my last set of Oscar predictions for the year. With the critics groups and some of the guilds having now announced their picks for the best of 2019, the Oscar picture is now a lot more clear. Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, Parasite, The Irishman, 1917, and Marriage Story all seem to be guaranteed to pick up a nomination.  Â
I am going to go out on a limb and predict that, despite being ignored at SAG and by the Golden Globes, Uncut Gems will get some nominations as well. Right now, the film just seems to have momentum on its side. Realistically, I’m not a 100% convinced that it’ll be nominated, not the way I am with some other films. It’s divisive film and I’m sure that some people think that rewarding Adam Sandler will just lead to him using his newfound respect to get a theatrical release for the next Grown Ups sequel. But I’m going to take a chance and go with it.
(Of course, Nightcrawler and Jake Gyllenhaal also had a lot of momentum a few years ago and ended up getting totally shut out of the Oscars.)
Below are my predictions for December. If you want to see how my thinking has evolved, be sure to check out my predictions for January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, and November!
