Uh, I just wanted to say that Robert Downey Jr in his Oscar speech was channeling Tony Stark energy SO unbelievably hard that it’s not even funny 🤣 Straight outta the comic books, everyone
“I’d like to thank my terrible childhood, and the Academy, in that order. I’d like to thank my veterinarian, I meant, wife, Susan Downey. She found me a snarling rescue pet, and loved me back to life.”
"An actor can do Hamlet right through to Lear, men of every age and every step of spiritual development. Where's the equivalent for women? I don't fancy hanging around to play Nurse in Romeo and Juliet. Life's too short."
"If I'm too strong for some people, that's their problem."
The fact that Jodie Comer swept all the major awards for theater is crazy: OLIVIER. DRAMA DESK. OUTER CRITICS CIRCLE. THE EVENING STANDARD. THEATRE WORLD AWARDS. And now, THE TONY AWARDS.
These award giving bodies hailed Jodie Marie Comer as the best lead actress in a play for Prima Facie this year.
She’s 30 years old. And already has TWO out of FOUR, making it halfway through an EGOT STATUS.
She’s one award short of completing the acting trifecta, and we all know she’s getting that Academy Award within 2-5 years.
This woman’s talent is crazy. I love her and I’m so proud to witness all of her achievements so far. Watch out, world. This woman has just begun.
**PS: Out of the 10 nominations Jodie Comer has gotten so far, she’s already won 8 out of them. For one show. And of the two awards she didn’t get, one of those was a category where all performances were combined (musical and straight play), and the other one was voted by fans. She won the most important awards. And she didn’t even go to drama school. That’s just pure talent. Amazing.
