My last Oscar comment is that I love Amy Madigan and Ed Harris’s long and age-appropriate marriage. (Ditto, PTA & Maya.)

I missed the first hour of the Oscars due to a scheduling snafu, but came home to lovely news about some pals — huge congrats to Chris and Maciek for their win for the incredible The Girl Who Cried Pearls (for animated short). It’s not every day that I get to say I know an Oscar winner. Or two.

Saw this book while browsing in a bookstore, and my kid became so obsessed with it that he took 41 pictures of it on my phone. I guess I know what Santa’s getting him this year.

What’s the best social platform for a quietly-freaking-out Canadian to monitor distracting commentary during a stressful election? Is it this one?

A friend asked me if I planned to make my kid suck it up, and send him back to school, so I wrote a whole thing about it.

Finally saw ANORA and I liked it, brilliant performance from Mickey Madison in the lead, but why is it THE movie of the year? Do we just need to justify our love of stripper movies by positioning them as high art, or what? It was fun but I don’t think it’s one I’ll keep thinking about.

I just remembered that last night I had a dream that in the 1970s (??) RuPaul and Bianca Del Rio starred in a movie about a serial killer who was played by David Niven.

Finished a huge writing assignment today and was able to not only hand it in but also invoice for the work, and I feel both proud of myself and hugely relieved, so I treated myself to a trip to IKEA to buy their seasonal wrapping paper.

Today's the day I finally finish the 1st draft of a screenplay that I’ve been labouring over all year, because I underestimated how hard it would be for me to switch gears from prose fiction to screenwriting. Handing it into my producer by Monday, latest. Posting here for accountability. UUUGH.

Katarina G @katarinag.bsky.social · 17/09/2024
I’m 56 pages into a screenplay that I need to finish writing by next Monday. It can be a shitty first draft, no stress. There will be plenty of time for revisions. But still, it’s a tough slog. This is honestly harder for me than writing a novel & I was naive for thinking it wouldn’t be! #writing

I’m going to watch the Oscars tonight, even though it makes me sad (because it’s something I used to do with my hilarious mom, who mocked the celebs most spectacularly, and not because the Oscars are silly, though they also are that). Let’s go I guess.
