![]() ![]() It’s also undeniably bait for awards voters, well-timed after she won an Oscar for a completely different kind of performance in Everything Everywhere All at Once. ![]() Curtis goes as big as humanly possible here, which makes sense, as “Fishes” illustrates the hold her character maintains on the family. And that doesn’t even get into the true showcase of the episode, Jamie Lee Curtis as the unwell matriarch. Between them, that’s five potential guest-acting nominees, and all could get in. There’s Gillian Jacobs, pregnant with Richie’s child, and as mentioned, Odenkirk joining Oliver Platt (who will need to compete in supporting for this season) as another fiery, scolding uncle in the family. There’s John Mulaney in a surprisingly affecting role as the husband to Carmy’s cousin, who is played with lived-in gravitas by Sarah Paulson. It’s not a particularly funny turn, but it’s brilliant, and I hope it gets recognized amid the huge names.īecause, yeah, there are a lot of those. In this episode, he’s so dialed in that I held my breath during the climactic scene, when he gets into a fork-tossing showdown with Bob Odenkirk’s uncle. As Carmy’s brother Mikey, he’s explosive, the heartbreaking loss of his character in the present informing every beat of his flashback performance. But before we get into all of those exciting names, I think it’s worth highlighting the continued brilliant work of Jon Bernthal, who may be nominated as a guest in a few weeks for season one.

The doctors have advised that it is best not to disturb her, for she appears to be happy there. Now she happily dwells in an entirely make-believe world of blood, death, madness, murder and mayhem. Thankfully, she dropped out just before the point where all students must submit to the personality-removing process that is a compulsory part of being an esteemed member of the legal profession. There she met some great people and had a lot of fun messing about during lessons that were clearly meant to be extremely solemn affairs. Not one to learn from past experience, Alex started the Legal Practice Course in London. The Ninth Circle came out in April 2008 with possibly the most beautiful cover ever created (matched only by her second book, Jasmyn). The third book, written during her first summer holidays off from university, found a home with Gollancz. The second book got her an agent with Carolyn Whitaker of London Independent Books but, unfortunately, not a publisher. To mitigate this she started writing again. To that end she eagerly started a Law Degree only to find it so boring that she was at a very real risk of going completely insane. For some years these ranged from dolphin trainer to animal shelter vet but then, at fifteen, she had an epiphany involving John and Robert Kennedy and decided to become a lawyer instead.
