Rustin has been consistently been among the top since day 1. I think it’s him
I grew up in a family of folks with accents like Angel’s, so that evokes warm memories but even without the ‘accent barrier’ I’m not quite sure I see him carrying a film
I can see Rustin in a movie like ‘Santa Tell Me’

I'm 2/3rds of the way in and this movie is beautifully paced and comforting. So far no crazy turns or unexpected moments, and sometimes predictability is totally fine and comforting. Like a warm blanket and a cup of hot cocoa.
Genuinely enjoying this

Basic human decency tells me there has to be a better way to rightfully compensate and empower women athletes at the top of their game who sacrifice physical and mental health to generate significant revenue, joyful experiences & brand loyalty

Great choices. Let me add two more nominees
A) Ashley Hatch's historic 50th goal as a Spirit (3-14 vs Dash)
B) Croix Bethune vs Bay FC at Oracle for the karma ⬇️

Gonna assume this is the PG version of 'Santa Tell Me' because she has a decidedly more adult version
Also, Kelly Clarkson has so many great Christmas songs and duets (particularly with Brett Eldredge) that would be in my top 10

Started slow, but built for me to the point where it's definite Hallmark top 3 for me for the season.
As a theater kid who now voluntarily co-leads his kid's middle school theater program, I could relate to much of it

Let me tell you something, yes!
Everyone thinks being a people pleaser just comes naturally. No, it’s hard work and it’s stressful
So don’t blame us for getting irritated every now and then

Croix’s one touch, no look against Portland was so smooth that she was already celebrating her assist of the year before Trin even put a foot on the ball

Not only is she stateside but Rodman plays for a team firmly in the nations capital.
No offense to all the fine fans of Utah, but Rodman is as good a representative as you could want for U.S. soccer, mens or womens, and she plays her home games with the U.S. Capitol building in the background

I’m going to nominate a defensive play that exemplifies the hustle & heart of this team
We all remember Kouassi’s equalizer against Rahsing, but that all starts with her getting knocked down defending one opponent, getting up & hustling to take the ball away from another before going on her run

From a competition standpoint the appeal isn’t there so much for Trinity,
But if I’m DC Power FC, any Gainbridge team, I’m preparing a massive offer. Just to see

It has its moments for sure but I just cannot get into The Bishop’s Wife as an all-time classic great for me

Halfway through. So far I think I had more fun with last year’s ‘Our Little Secret’
I appreciate seeing Geoffrey Owens (Elvin from the Cosby Show), still recall him getting unnecessarily bashed for being a Trader Joe’s employee a few years back
