SNL's Continued Downward Spiral Thread

Should be Foxx and Carrey. Still contend he should've been serious candidate (or nominated at the very least) for Man on the Moon.

 

I figured. I cracked up when I remembered who that was.

 

Can't say I'm looking forward to Wiig, but I like the thought of Gosling.

 

So many talented people have spent time at SNL, cast and crew. Surprised there wasn't a writing award, short film winner or something before RDJ. Heck, Michael McKean was nominated for Best Song.

 

Why aren't you looking forward to Wiig? I don't recall her previous stints being bad (I could be wrong).

 

I've just never been a big fan of hers dating back to the cast days. I know she has her fans, and she was obviously on the show for a long time, but she never really struck me. Kinda one-note.

 

The problem is, anyone can block that show.

Political cold open; Wiig monologue with cameo from Maya Rudolph, possibly a Kate MacKinnon appearance; Filmed short; GILLY; Password knockoff sketch where she always repeats the secret word; Musical guest; Weekend Update; Weird sketch with another cameo, possibly Fred Armisen; Please Don't Destroy; Second musical guest; Fake commercial; Weird 12:50 sketch; BYE! IT WAS SO GREAT TO BE BACK!

 

And Anthony Michael Hall never got a nomination for Johnny Be Good ... or Farmer Ted?

There's no justice in the world!

 

OUT OF BOUNDS, BITCHES!!!!!

 

Johnny Be Good... also featuring Robert Downey Jr.! We're through the looking glass here people.

 

I heard Whoopi Goldberg refer to RDJ - Bobby? - Downey Jr.? as a journeyman actor. I mean he was only the centerpiece of the highest grossing franchise in motion picture history, previous nominee - but then again, he seems to really find his footing in secondary roles, co-leads or whatever where he can really create a character - Tropic Thunder comes to mind - and others - rather than carry the plot on his shoulders. I do think he is more of an "actor" than a "movie star."
He surely wasn't an A-lister before Ironman. I think his last pre IM film was Zodiac alongside Jake Gyllenhaal. Good movie, but not really a star vehicle.
