We’ll be tuning in to the Oscars on March 4th. Will you?
Go, Mary! I hope she wins BOTH her nominations.
Happy for Mary J. Blige. After a nasty (and pending) file for divorce, she’s still winning. What a respectful career.
Miguel??? That´s huge for him. He has been having a hard time getting mainstream love, even hard for him to book the grammys stage. Except for the year Adorn happened (and still they only gave him a very short time to perform). So to go and perform at the oscars out of the blue is really big for him.
Talented artists get less shine than ever nowadays.
That’s awesome ??
