A small gloat

Today I am happy because Olivia Colman, the world’s best female screen performer, won the Oscar for Best Actress in a Leading Role. She protrayed Queen Anne in The Favourite.

She gave a priceless “aw-shucks” speech.


She’s been the world’s best actress since the fourth series of Peep Show, which aired in 2007.


I’m happy that my judgment has been validated; even more, though, I’m happy for Olivia, who has been a delight to view.

With this award, justice has been done, and there is a tiny sliver of hope for humankind.

I also wish to note that Green Book won for Best Picture, as I predicted.
