Good Monday morning, my friends! Here is a video of a cat being completely convinced it’s caught a bird from the TV. And also here is a Pop Culture Fix!

+ If you missed last night’s Golden Globes, that’s because NBC didn’t air them because the Hollywood Foreign Press association will not get its shit together re: racism, so the ceremony was conducted in private — no red carpet, no celebs, no presentations — and the winners were announced on Twitter and in press releases. Most exciting: Michaela Jaé Rodriguez was FINALLY recognized for her revolutionary work on Pose, becoming the first trans actress to win a Globe. Her acceptance speech on IG Live made me cry and I bet it will make you cry too. It’s always good to see mainstream press catching up with Autostraddle’s TV Team!
Mj Rodriguez reacts to her #GoldenGlobes win & gives an acceptance speech on IG Live:
"This is for the LGBTQAI, Black, Latina,
Asian [communities], the many multi beautiful colors of the rainbow… This is not just for me, this is for y'all. This is the door that opens for y'all” pic.twitter.com/g6GA6mzmWq— Pop Crave (@PopCrave) January 10, 2022
+ Natalie mentioned this in Friday’s Boobs on Your Tube and I’m mentioning it again: After much speculation from press and fans and other players, Sue Bird announced she’s returning to the Storm for another season.
+ ALSO speaking of the greatest ever, LSU retired Seimone Augustus’ jersey last week.

+ Amy Schneider is now only the fourth person — and the first woman — to win more than $1 million on Jeopardy!
+ Netflix is developing a Scott Pilgrim animated series; hopefully we get more into Ramona Flowers’ bisexuality and learn more about her ex Roxie Richter this time!
+ Javicia Leslie is on this week’s Down & Nerdy podcast talking Batwoman, LGBTQ+ rep, and WILLLLDOMOOORE.
+ Thankfully Chris Noth’s final scenes have been axed from And Just Like That.
+ Prime Video has cancelled I Know What You Did Last Summer, which makes sense ’cause even the gayness couldn’t save it from how terrible it was.
+ Vulture’s “Underrated” series would like to suggest a lil’ something called Feel Good to you!
+ Omicrion’s got a whole lot of gay TV series on hold.
+ Alia Shawkat on Dory’s dangerous reawakening in Search Party’s final season.
Thank you, Heather! I’ve been seeking out cute and funny animal videos lately, you know self-care. But then I got to that Michaela Jaé Rodriguez clip and, wow, I definitely needed to hear that. I can’t wait to see her in more projects!!
MJ deserved that red carpet/on stage televised moment so much and she was completely cheated at the emmys, but in spite of that I’m really happy for her win last night.
I’m also so happy that Ariana Debose won best supporting actress for West Side Story as a queer biracial afro Latina woman.
