“What a wonderful time for women on television,” she said in her speech. “And all the women that I’m nominated with here tonight is such a testament to that. But truly, this belongs to Robert and Michelle King; all our writers, who never cease to amaze me with 22 episodes a year.”
And journalists wasted no time asking her about both issues when she made her way to the press room at the end of the awards.
As far as roles for women on TV, Margulies mentioned that she accepted her award from Viola Davis, who stars in the upcoming “How to Get Away with Murder” and also cited projects like Tea Leoni’s upcoming “Madam Secretary.”
“You don’t see the kinds of roles we play in film,” she added.
I think it's inexcusable that pop radio refuses to play Bey's songs no matter how hot her hype is. She should've easily gotten Drunk In Love & XO to be massive hits on the format (DIL was huge but didn't get the pop treatment it deserved).
4 got majorly snubbed with Love On Top too. I know so many people who love that song. It's a shame pop wouldn't touch it with a ten foot poll in 2011/2012.
You kinda saw Beyonce's pop airplay dwindle during the B'Day era. I Am...Sasha Fierce was basically a pop era, so I don't count that. What a mediocre album that was, btw. I'm glad she released 4 and Beyoncé.
Angelina Jolie has the best publicity game in Hollywood. Here’s how she does it.
Most Hollywood stars, with the help of their publicists and agents, work very, very hard to have a coherent image — to “mean” something clearly and simply: the Nice Guy, the Pinup, the Tough Dude. Ryan Reynolds, Megan Fox, Vin Diesel.
But the biggest Hollywood star images are complicated, and even contradictory: Marilyn Monroe was pure sex, but she radiated innocence; Marlon Brando was overpoweringly masculine yet incredibly sensitive.
So Jolie’s image mixed dangerous sexuality…and benevolent humanitarianism? It sounds ridiculous. But it was precisely that combination, and the flexibility it permitted, that allowed Jolie to not only weather one of the biggest potential scandals of the decade, but facilitated her rise to superstardom.
It’s because Angelina Jolie plays the celebrity game better than anyone else in the business. Her game is subtle, often invisible, incredibly precise, and always, always effective. And by all accounts, she does it without the help of a publicist.
Poor Brittany, instead of constantly crying and complaining that the paparazzi wanted to take her picture when she neglected her sons to run around without panties with Lindsay and Paris in search of drugs, she should have taken notes from AngeLegend. She might still have a career if she did:
Quote:
Every time a celebrity says that it’s hard being pretty, or difficult having your photo taken all the time, or exhausting attending movie premieres, or sitting in hair and makeup, or posing for magazine covers, it engenders just a bit more spite, which makes it all the easier to quietly revel in that celebrity’s demise.
Instead of attempting to make herself seem “just like us,” Jolie acknowledges the gap; instead of empathizing, or comparing her struggle to others’, she underlines just how difficult it is not only for most of her fans, but most of the world. As gossip columnist and CTV host Elaine Lui explains, “She doesn’t allow herself to be quoted about how hard her life is … She’s figured out that celebrities can never get away with moaning — especially not now, in these times, when almost everyone has it worse.”
