Welcome to fine-tuning with Two Tailor, your one-stop shop when it comes to animation news and

0:04.0

commentary. I'm Drew's co-host, entertainment writer Jim Hill, and he and I are recording this

0:09.0

show on Friday, March 5th, 2021. So it's been five days since the Golden Globes,

0:18.0

and to the surprise of absolutely no one, Pixar's soul took home this year's trophy for best

0:23.9

animated feature. Yeah, I mean, I think Wolf Walker is generally going to give it a run for

0:29.8

its money, but yeah, it took home the prize. I mean, I think it's well-deserved. Oh, no, no, no, no,

1:36.8

make up the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. There's an a single member of that organization

1:43.6

who's black. So gotta be complete coincidence that Kemp Powers and award-winning playwright and

1:50.4

screenwriter who also just happens to be African American. It suddenly notified five hours before

1:55.7

the ceremony. It's like, hey, good news, you're a nominee. Yeah. I think this might be the last
