Much has already been written — for and against — Jodie Foster’s speech on last night’s Golden Globes telecast.
In accepting her Cecil B. DeMille Lifetime Achievement Award, Foster touched on many topics she had previously refused to discuss publicly — her sexuality being one of them.
Which made the underlying theme of her speech even more pointed:
“If you had been a public figure from the time that you were a toddler, if you had to fight for a life that felt real and honest and normal against all odds, then maybe then you, too, might value privacy above all else…
Privacy.”
I hear you, Jodie. And I respect you. In fact, when you were speaking last night, LIVE, in front of millions of people across the globe —
I had turned the channel to watch Downton Abbey on Masterpiece Classics.
Your secrets are safe with me.
In the dark
Are you a fan of Poldark?
I only discovered the Masterpiece series — which recently began its third season on PBS — a couple of weeks ago.
Now I’m hooked.
Flash flooding yesterday in Chicago gave me the perfect excuse to binge watch seasons 1 and 2 on Amazon Prime Video. (PBS members can also watch past episodes on their local affiliate website.)
The saga of the Captain Ross Poldark and his family set in post-Revolutionary War Cornwall is wonderful costume drama. And Aidan Turner as Poldark? Well, let’s just say I finally have a reason to watch the Hobbit movies, too.
But tonight? I will be glued to the tube watching season 3 of Poldark.
