What a week! The Critics Choice Awards were Sunday, the Emmys were Monday, and I am tired! We also brought you a full slate at Drinks With Broads: We hosted[ an Emmys live thread](https://drinkswithbroads.substack.com/p/ahoy-its-your-emmys-open-thread)! All subscribers got our t[ake on the weekend's awards shows](https://drinkswithbroads.substack.com/p/the-best-the-worst-the-most-and-the-299); paid subscribers got a[ lengthy, multi-part screed about phone games, their ads, and why Gardenscapes are such LIARS.](https://drinkswithbroads.substack.com/p/in-which-the-algorithm-gets-blamed) Also, random shit I've been influenced to buy on Insta. We also[ started recapping Traitors!](https://drinkswithbroads.substack.com/p/two-are-dead-two-are-banished-and)

Don't forget to vote on[ best and worst dressed at the Emmys!](https://www.gofugyourself.com/tag/best-and-worst?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

An amazing story at Texas Monthly:[ The Juror Who Found Herself Guilty](https://www.texasmonthly.com/news-politics/the-juror-who-found-herself-guilty/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). There is a moment in this that I would describe as jaw-dropping. It is tremendously well-done; I cried.

This is very good, at Vanity Fair: [Cary Grant and Randolph Scott’s Hollywood Story: “Our Souls Did Touch”](https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/cary-grant-randolph-scott-hollywood-story?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

Ask a Manager is running an entertaining series about "strangely dramatic reactions at work." [Here's part one!](https://www.askamanager.org/2024/01/the-microwave-battle-the-bagel-club-chaos-and-other-stories-of-strangely-dramatic-reactions-to-mundane-changes-at-work.html??ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

This explains a lot. [Hollywood is currently suffering A GOWN SHORTAGE](https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/lifestyle/style/red-carpet-awards-season-gown-shortage-1235778485/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), thanks to all the insane amount of events shoved into the same few weeks. \[THR\]

I have to quote Lainey about the new J.Lo project directly: "[This is already so chaotic and corny, I can already tell you that I love it and will watch it at least three times](https://www.laineygossip.com/trailer-drops-for-this-is-me-now-as-jlo-explains-it-is-her-most-personal-project-full-of-cameos/77508?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)." Same.

[NY Mag explains who they think you should root for in the NFL playoffs.](https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2024/01/who-you-should-root-for-in-the-nfl-playoffs.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) (My team lost last weekend, but my fiancé is a lifetime Packers fan, so that's where my household's rooting interests are currently.) As ever, Will Leitch is funny.

It appears[ the BAFTA nominations were somewhat wack](https://www.laineygossip.com/the-bafta-nominations-were-announced-and-people-are-up-in-arms-at-some-high-profile-snubs/77517?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). \[Lainey\]

Suzanne Somers may be haunting her Palm Springs house but[ it's actually very sweet](https://lamag.com/celebrity/is-suzanne-somers-haunting-palm-springs-home-widower-is-convinced?utm%5Fsource=pocket%5Fsaves). \[LA Mag\]

Pajiba reports on [The Rapid Rise of Reneé Rapp](https://www.pajiba.com/celebrities%5Fare%5Fbetter%5Fthan%5Fyou/the-rapid-rise-of-renee-rapp.php?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io).

I'm not going to buy [this chair, even though it would look great in my dining room,](https://rstyle.me/+AZuGZV1CkTmcBfSEXpoQyw?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) but I AM going to ADMIRE it. (affiliate link\]

Interesting: [Adventure travel is a growth industry thanks to women over 40](https://wapo.st/421wQVW?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). \[WaPo, gifted link\]

Vanity Fair wonders, [Is *Barbie* in Oscar Danger?](https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/awards-insider-bafta-2024-nominations-analysis?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) It's definitely not gonna win any big ones, IMO.

The New Yorker offers: ["Trials of the Witchy Women:](https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2024/01/22/witchcraft-a-history-in-thirteen-trials-marion-gibson-book-review?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) Across seven centuries, women have been accused of witchcraft—but what that means often differs wildly, revealing the anxieties of each particular society."

Really fun at We Have Notes: [25 TV Cast Reunions I Need in My Life](https://wehavenotes.substack.com/p/television-reunions-wishlist)

Good and useful, at The Stripe: [What to Bring to a Dinner Party.](https://thestripe.com/what-to-bring-to-a-dinner-party/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) (I usually just bring wine! It's good to mix it up. The candy cigarettes idea is a stroke of genius. \[Depending on your audience.\])
