My mother always checked who clapped for himself after his name was announced at these awards, so I do, too. So far with Best Actress, they’ve all been appropriately modest. ---

Cate kinda left an important part out of her explanation of why Judi Dench isn’t at the Oscars. She is doing a sequel, but she made it sound like it was _Philomena 2: Rise of the Electric Boogaloo_. (It’s actually a sequel to _Best Exotic Marigold Hote_l that she’s working on.) ---
