I think they assume that anytime she plays a sassy black Woman she is playing herself. Because they obviously know her so well. 🙄 Please lets not play the race card. I am sure you love to do that in most of your arguments but don't try me, i am not the one. Well how it is written, it could be portrayed that way and I have seen you write that before, which I was confused and asked.

Mediocrity has nothing to do with race or color.

In divorce news, Kendu asked for his temporary order of spousal support to be increased to $65K/month, saying that Mary's "divorce songs like 'Love Yourself,' and 'Set Me Free," are keeping him from getting a job. Yesterday the judge denied it and basically told him he was full of shit.

Yesterday the judge denied it and basically told him he was full of s**t. In today's update, she told the courts she'll assume full responsibility for their $11.6m debt if they agree to end spousal support. Then she can be finally free of Kendudu and Starkist can pick up some extra shifts at Forever 21 while he pleads his case with the unemployment office.

Holly Hunter better fall back! It’s bad enough she robbed Angela Bassett back in 1993.

Mary seems to really been playing the game when it comes to this film. She is doing a ton of press, and has been at all kinds of private events and award ceremonies. She's done more press for this than the album. I really hope she can pull out an Oscar nod! Last night, at the IndieWire Honors, she won the award for Breakthrough Performance for her role in Mudbound. https://www.instagram.com/p/BbBMnHZHcwi

There is no chance she's not getting a nod. She's been pretty much the favourite.

Just watching the buzz build, she's definitely one of the top three contenders for supporting actress at the moment. Right along with Laurie Metcalf and Allison Janney.
I hope she can maintain that buzz, she seems to be down for it. Not sure if I trust Netflix though, especially with how they dropped the ball with Idris Elba. He would have had that Oscar in the bag backed by a studio who knew what they were doing campaign-wise.

Mary J. Blige to Produce Music Drama at Fox '8 Count' is inspired by the life of choreographer Laurieann Gibson. Fox is looking to Mary J. Blige and choreographer Laurieann Gibson for its next music drama. The network, home to Lee Daniels and Danny Strong's Empire, has put in development drama 8 Count, inspired by Gibson's life. The drama, from The Jackal Group's Gail Berman and Joe Earley, landed at the network with a sizable penalty attached. 8 Count is described as a music-fueled drama that follows a young choreographer who, in order to redeem her damaged reputation in the cutthroat music/dance world, must invest in an up-and-coming singer, who also has one last shot at stardom. The project brings Berman, former entertainment president, and Earley, former COO, back to Fox. The duo will exec produce via The Jackal Group. Erika L. Johnson (Shades of Blue, Queen Sugar) will pen the script. Gibson, a multiple Grammy winner, will also exec produce alongside Blige, who will also serve as a music adviser on the drama. Gibson has choreographed music videos and live performances for the likes of Nicki Minaj, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry and more. Her TV work includes Making the Band, So You Think You Can Dance, Dance Moms and Starmaker. She's repped by APA. For Fox, 8 Count comes as the network has two music dramas on its schedule — Empire and Star, the latter of which is also from Daniels. Johnson is repped by APA, Echo Lake Entertainment and Hansen Jacobson. Blige, a nine-time Grammy winner who next co-stars in Netflix feature Mudbound, is with APA. www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/mary-j-blige-produce-music-drama-at-fox-1055865

Interesting. FOX really wants three "music-driven" drama shows though.
