Alien earth- I’ve been generally positive on this show, minus episode 5 which was deeply flawed in every way. This finale is a hot ass mess.

So for example, if a movie came out this year, I would list it as 2025, but the ceremony is technically 2026. ##1- Elizabeth Taylor (Butterfly … Continue reading The Top 10 Worst Best Actress Wins Of All time
