MONDAY MATINEE MUSIC VIDEO “Standing in the Rain”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94ASNMrwpF4 —A rock’n’roll torch song, cut in the style of Jerry Lee Lewis or Freddy Fender, and sung with British verve by Chris Andrews—a singer-songwriter and recording artist whose songs have been covered by Roger Daltrey, David Essex, and Davy Jones (Monkees).

My review of Oppenheimer - Christopher Nolan delivers his magnum opus; a movie that is stunning in every sense of the word, and driven by a powerhouse, career-best and Oscar worthy performance from Cillian Murphy.

If I’m not mistaken, you mentioned at some point that you viewed like most of the dreamworld characters as neurodivergent, I think. If I’m not wrong or misremembering, it would be neat to hear more of what you think!!

Ohohohoho not only will I give you my nd headcanons you're also getting my queer (mostly trans) headcanons!

Eric: Not only his canonical memory problems probably count, autism cus of the bug hyperfixation. He is also AroAce

Carly: Adhd, me and Danger have joked about how the Gale household is just fucking full of stickynotes. Also we'll slap a they on her because. Projection- (She/they)

Ridley: Also adhd, and I feel like he'll later realize his gender is. Funky. (All pronouns. At once./j)

Lewis: Lewis simply labeled as "pretty... uh, person?" And they have no intent to change that (she/he/they) Also, chaos has contributed a potential Ace, so I'll add it in.

Sara: Of course she has... some form of neruodivergence and pronouns-! (Trans woman.)

Damien: Autistic, so autistic, oh my god so much autism in this one guy. And for gender... you've seen my most recent poll. Trans.

Oliver: Autism because. The guy. And also Oliver is very much gender so she is now non-binary (any pronouns)

Ben: whilst I'm unsure on neurodivergence, I've decided that Ben is the obligatory trans twin due to help from Danger. So yeah he's a trans boy

Mike: Autism. Autistic guy. Also biromantic and ace.

Alyssa: Trans and BiAce let's go-

Andrew: We... we all know they have adhd right? Right?

Wiatt: Adhd! Ty Ashe for reminding me.

And now for the list of people who are just trans with no explanation.

Norman

Hayden (also maybe inattentive adhd because projection)

Audrey

Pen

Now you might notice it's just autism and adhd, that's because those are what I have and know about. However if anyone else has headcanons about neruodivergency or queerness please share, just know I might yoink them.

'Cillian Murphy has won the leading actor Bafta for the biopic Oppenheimer.

Accepting the trophy he said: "Oh boy, holy moly, thank you very, very much Bafta."

He paid tribute to "the most dynamic, kindest producer-director partnership in Hollywood: Chris Nolan and Emma Thomas, thank you for seeing something in me that I probably didn't see in myself."

The Cork native said to Nolan: "Thank for always pushing me and demanding excellence because that is what you deliver time and time again."

He also acknowledged his "fellow nominees and my Oppenhomies", adding: "I know it's a cliche to say, but I'm in awe of you."

He said J Robert Oppenheimer, known as the father of the atomic bomb, was a "colossally knotty character", adding: "We have a space to debate and interrogate and investigate that complexity and it's a privilege to be a part of this community with you all."

Christopher Nolan won the best director Bafta for Oppenheimer, his epic tale of how the nuclear bomb was created.

Before accepting the award from actor Hugh Grant, Nolan hugged his Irish star Murphy.

Nolan joked that his brother "beat him up here" by being in a chorus of a production 40 years ago.

He paid tribute to Murphy and added to those who backed the film: "Thank you for taking on something dark".

The director also acknowledged the efforts of nuclear disarmament organisations to bring peace.

Oppenheimer was also named best film at the ceremony, The award was presented by actor Michael J Fox, who was greeted with a standing ovation as he came on stage in a wheelchair but stood at the podium.

Collecting the prize, producer Emma Thomas said: "This is not at all what I imagined when I was sitting at UCL film society with Chris dreaming about making films for a living."

Paying tribute to her husband, the film's director Christopher Nolan, Thomas said: "He is inspired and inspiring, he is brilliant, often infuriating, he is always right.

She also gave a shout-out to their 16-year-old son Magnus, who she said was "looking at me with daggers in his eyes", adding: "Your dad and I are the luckiest people in the world but our greatest fortune is being parents to you, Flora, Oliver and Rory."

Murphy’s co-star Robert Downey Jr won the best supporting actor prize for his role as Lewis Strauss, head of the Atomic Energy Commission.

Collecting the trophy, the Iron Man star paid tribute to Nolan, saying: “Recently that dude suggested I attempt an understated approach as a last ditch effort to resurrect my dwindling credibility.”

He said he owes the award to Nolan, producer Emma Thomas and star Cillian Murphy, as well as “British influence”.

Oppenheimer also won the Baftas for best cinematography and editing.

Murphy faced competition from fellow Irish man Barry Keoghan, who took on the role of a student at Oxford in high-society thriller Saltburn, and Canadian actor Ryan Gosling for blockbuster success Barbie.

Paul Mescal was also nominated for Best Supporting Actor for his turn in All of Us Strangers where he starred alongside Andrew Scott...'
