Another great performance to win a Golden Globe in the wrong category—Rose Byrne for best comedy actress in If I Had Legs I’d Kick You. Her brilliant work is a dramatic tour de force. If you laughed you surely did it with tears in your eyes

RIP Rob Reiner. The death of Rob and his wife Michelle and the tragedy of its circumstance is inconceivable. My memory of this mensch over many years is of his talent and of the warmth, humor, generosity, kindness and activism that he invested in being a human. And that lives on.
