Sigi (Yes, like the yogurt...) is a bicoastal and bilingual Swiss-Israeli-American triple citizen. (Did you follow?) You almost saw her on Unprisoned, This Is Us, Henry Danger, and Jessie, but those roles ended up on the cutting room floor. You can, however, still catch her on Call Your Mother, Girl Meets World, The Middle, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, and the hit Apple+ series Lessons in Chemistry. Sigi has created lots of digital content and won Best Actress for her film Optimistic Realist at the Portland Comedy Film Festival for playing an aspiring actress slash Hebrew school teacher. It was a real stretch. Sigi is a member of Theatre of NOTE and has performed on stages all over LA. Favorite critically-acclaimed productions include The Diary of Anne Frank (Best Leading Actress), Bad Jews, The Immigrant, and Askance (Outstanding Understudy in a Drama). Aside from making people laugh, Sigi can often be seen carrying seven beverages at once and an overpriced diaper bag that conveniently has no beverage holders.On this episode of Mommywood, Sigi shares her experience navigating the complexities of motherhood, from the transition of having one child to two, to the challenges of balancing personal identity with parenting. We discuss the emotional and physical aspects of pregnancy, the dynamics between siblings, and the societal pressures surrounding maternal instinct. The conversation also touches on the realities of being a working mom in the creative industry, the importance of support systems, and the joy found in small moments with children. Ultimately, we emphasize the value of connection, creativity, and the unique journey of motherhood.00:00 The Journey of Motherhood Begins02:49 Navigating the Transition from One to Two05:53 Sibling Dynamics and Playtime08:51 Pregnancy Experiences: The Same Yet Different11:26 The Myth of Maternal Instinct14:28 Balancing Identity: Mom, Actor, and Comedian17:15 The Decision to Start a Family20:10 The Reality of Working Moms22:59 The Challenges of Returning to Work26:01 Finding Joy in the Chaos29:02 The Role of Support Systems31:53 The Impact of Pets on Family Life34:35 Creative Pursuits Amidst Motherhood37:18 Advice for Aspiring Actor Moms40:29 Finding Balance and Fulfillment43:16 The Importance of Connection and Joy

In our second episode of The Rise of A24 series, we are covering the gonzo horror of the Philippou brothers in Talk to Me (2023) and the roots of elevated horror in Andrzej Żuławski's Possession (1981)Special Guest - Returning to the podcast, Writer and Horror Film Aficionado, Andrea GomezA24 has built a reputation for edgy horror films. They helped to popularize the concept of elevated horror in the 2010s: The Witch, It Comes at Night, Hereditary. They have continued to nurture new voices in horror in 2020s with their patronage of the Philippou brothers. Talk to Me was produced without any A24 input or support. They stepped in when the film was screened to much shock and applause at Sundance in 2023. Before A24 became big producers, this is exactly how they built the brand and company. Find really interesting and exciting new films and take over the distribution. Talk to Me was a glam slam for A24, who acquired it for only single digit millions as it when on to make 92 million dollars at the box office.Possession was not a huge success upon its released in 1981. The outlandishly wonderful horror film popped off at Cannes winning the Special Jury Prize along with Isabelle Adjani winning Best Actress. But outside the artistic bubble of Europe, the film was met with extreme skepticism and outright hatred. The USA release was shambolic with the original 124 minute run time being cut down to measly 81 minutes. The UK outright banned the film in the 1980s. But time has a way of mellowing reactions and opening minds. Possession slowly became a cult film thanks to boutique home video releases. With the rise of elevated horror in the 2010s, Possession reached its vaulted status as a horror classic.

Earlier this month, Angela's Shadow won two awards – for best screenwriting and best production design – at the 2025 Leo Awards. It was the latest in a string of successes for the film, which won the Panorama Audience Award at the 2024 Vancouver International Film Festival, kicks off a theatrical run in Toronto this weekend, and is acclaimed Cree filmmaker Dr. Jules Arita Koostachin's highly anticipated follow-up to the similarly lauded Broken Angel. In Angela's Shadow, Angela (played by Sera-Lys McArthur) and Henry (Matthew Kevin Anderson), young 1930s socialites with a baby on the way, embark on a short trip north to visit Angela's beloved childhood nanny, Mary (Renae Morriseau). When Angela is harassed by a menacing shadow figure, Mary moves to bless and protect her and her unborn child with illegal Cree ceremonies and medicine. As the truth about her ancestry and the spectral figure's identity unfold, Angela must decide whether to delve into her newfound spiritual traditions in order to protect herself from her husband's escalating purity-obsessed racism. Angela's Shadow is the second film in a trilogy that follows three sets of Cree characters all connected to each other in some way, across three different time periods, who use their connections to their Cree spiritual traditions to combat and heal from settler colonialism. The first film – the aforementioned dramatic thriller entitled Broken Angel – won Sera-Lys the award for Best Actress at the 2022 American Indian Film Festival. In this compelling conversation with Sabrina Rani Furminger, Jules and Sera-Lys talk about healing from settler colonialism through art, working with family (three of Jules' sons and her mom all appear in the film), being pregnant IRL shortly after being pregnant onscreen, and where they're going to take us next.Episode sponsor: Directors Guild Of Canada, BC District Council

In a single year, Sharon Stone was nominated for awards for both Best Actress and Worst Actress – for the same role. She launched a million sexual awakenings with one quick display in Basic Instinct. Her performance in that film was so vivid that it inspired stalkers to track her down. It may have even served as the inspiration for one fan to commit murder, cannibalism, and necrophilia. This episode contains themes that may be disturbing to some listeners, including graphic depictions of violence.

主播：Flora（中国）+ Erin（美国） 音乐：Greatest Day6月27日，演员宋佳荣获白玉兰奖最佳女主角的视频走红网络。今天我们要聊的就是宋佳获奖时“Girls Help Girls”的温馨瞬间，以及其获奖感言背后的女性力量。01. A Spotlight Moment for Female Creators 女性创作者的高光时刻 近日，第30届上海电视节白玉兰奖（Magnolia Awards）颁奖典礼上，演员宋佳凭借在电视剧《山花烂漫时》（She and Her Girls）中的出色表现，荣获最佳女主角（Best Actress）。她在剧中生动演绎了张桂梅校长的故事，而她的获奖感言更是被誉为“内娱近年最有思想的女性发言”。 玉兰花（上海市花）：magnolia 最佳女主角：Best Actress当颁奖人喊出“宋佳”的名字时，镜头捕捉到了许多动人的（touching）瞬间：镜头中的宋佳情绪涌上心头（emotion hit her）。闫妮坐在她的身后，第一时间送上祝贺（congratulate），并将手中的棉花道具（cotton flower prop）递给她，一个小小的举动却充满力量。 当镜头向后延展，入镜的马伊琍眼睛笑成了月牙，流露出了发自内心的赞赏（genuine admiration）。 更重要的是（To top it off），台下与宋佳合作过的钟楚曦一边激动地泪流满面还一边举着手机为宋佳拍视频记录（crying while filming the moment）。祝贺：congratulate棉花道具：cotton flower prop发自内心的赞赏：genuine admiration更重要的是：to top it off （通常我们想再说点什么突出这件事的程度时的表达）这一幕被称为“年度最佳画面”—— It wasn't just about one woman winning. It was about women standing with each other, celebrating together. 这是女性彼此支持、共同庆祝的缩影。 02. Girls Help Girls: Shattering Stereotypes 打破刻板印象的女性力量 这些场景是不是也让你想起一句很火的话：“Girls help girls.”？这句话看似简单，却承载了许多意义（loaded with meaning）： 表层：女孩帮助女孩。 深层：反驳了（push back against）“女孩之间只会互相嫉妒、搞内耗、互相拆台（tearing each other down）”的刻板印象（stereotypes）。例如：在抽象电视剧中常见的“mean girl”（刻薄女孩）或“Queen Bee”形象。这些短语的出现无疑是让它们在大众心中留下了更深的印象。但是“Girls help girls.”持有完全不同的观点。Queen Bees (蜂后)：指那些在群体中占主导地位的人——也就是大姐大。社交媒体的评论区中，“Girls help girls.”这句话其实时常会出现： “You're killing it. Girls help girls.”（你做的真不错！） “Support your sisters. Girls help girls.”（支持姐妹们！）宋佳的获奖时刻，正是对这句话的完美诠释——女性可以互相托举（lift each other up），为彼此的成功喝彩（cheer for each other's success）。 03. Song Jia's Speech: Redefining the Value of Women in the Workplace 宋佳的感言：重构女性职业价值的坐标系 宋佳的获奖感言中，有两段话尤其发人深省：1.“我们选择站在这里，不是因为我们年轻漂亮，而是因为我们有创作的能力。” “We are not standing here because we are young or beautiful. We are here because we have the ability to create.” 这句话重新定义了女性职业价值的核心坐标系：演员的价值不是由外部评价（容貌、年龄、服饰）决定的，而是由内在动机（创作能力、角色成就）决定的。She was speaking for a whole generation of creative women. 2.“人间烟火是最大的流量，真善美永远是最有力的表达。” “The fire of everyday life is the biggest source of inspiration. Truth, kindness, and beauty will always be the most powerful expression.” 这句话不仅适用于艺术创作，也是女性力量的宣言——真实、善良与美好，才是最具感染力的表达。 不管是伟大的张桂梅校长把华坪女高孩子们一个个送出大山，还是宋佳获奖现场的感人时刻，都无不体现“Girls help girls!”的高光时刻。When girls help girls, we all win（当女孩帮助女孩，我们都是赢家）.欢迎在评论区留言告诉我们：你们身边有没有发生过“Girls Help Girls”的暖心时刻呢？Have you ever experienced a “Girls Help Girls” moment?

In the second part of the Best Actress tier rankings (listen to Part 1 here), the team return to the scene of the crime from last week to rank the remaining 49 Oscar winning performances, and discuss where they place them in their all-ranking. In trying to place these winners in the correct spot, the team had to come together and decide on whether to place these performances in the S (all-time winner), A, B, C, D, or F tier and explain the ranking. For the first time in the tier ranking episodes, the performances have been randomized, making the show even more unpredictable as to who will be covered from the list of winners on this episode. Also, the team has instituted two rules that include only 15 winners being able to be in the “S tier” and if an actress has multiple wins, only one of their wins can make it into the 15. Some of the winners ranked on this week's episode are Claudette Colbert for It Happened One Night, Nicole Kidman for The Hours, Meryl Streep for Sophie's Choice, Julia Roberts for Erin Brockovich, Jodie Foster for The Silence of the Lambs, Diane Keaton for Annie Hall, Faye Dunaway for Network, Michelle Yeoh for Everything Everywhere All at Once, our most recent winner Mikey Madison, Anora, and many more.

It's all singing, dancing, chatting and eating at Dish this week. Cynthia Erivo is a British actor, singer and songwriter, well known for her phenomenal vocals and performances on stage and screen. She comes to the Dish table to talk about her new album, I Forgive You; a 20-track record which tells her life story in four distinct parts and showcases the full range of her incredible voice. It's released on 6 June, UK.  Erivo, who was born in Stockwell, London but now lives in Los Angeles, made her Broadway debut as Celie in The Color Purple alongside Jennifer Hudson, a role for which she won the Tony Award for Best Actress in a Musical and Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater Album.

To mark the start of June, Angela served the table a vegan roasted red pepper, aubergine & freekeh salad with additional courgettes (Angela's favourite). As Cynthia doesn't drink, the trio enjoyed a glass of Real Peony Blush Non Alcoholic Sparkling Tea alongside it. For those that do want to match their salad with a glass of wine, the Waitrose experts suggest a glass of Eminence de Bijou.  We begin the episode by getting to know Cynthia's love of vegan food, understanding her garlic allergy and dislike of the onion family (sorry, onion family). Over the salad, we learn more about her new record, including how Ariana Grande helped to make it happen and get a first-class demonstration of just how powerful her voice is. Plus, we finally found a good writer for the End of Show Question!

Dish from Waitrose is made by Cold Glass Productions.

On episode 289 of The AwardsWatch Podcast, Executive Editor Ryan McQuade is joined by Editor-In-Chief Erik Anderson, Associate Editor Sophia Ciminello, AwardsWatch contributor Mark Johnson, and special guest Kevin Jacobsen, Entertainment Weekly Content Update Editor and host of the And the Runner Up Is podcast. Fasten your seatbelts, it's going to be a bumpy night. While everyone is settling into the summer blockbuster season and recovering from the Cannes Film Festival from the month of May, the AW team turn to the month of June by going back to a favorite exercise from last year, an extensive tier ranking of an Oscar category. After doing Best Director last year, the team moves the most popular category the Oscars has for the team; Best Actress and its 98 winners. In trying to place these winners in the correct spot, the team had to come together and decide on whether to place these performances in the S (all-time winner), A, B, C, D, or F tier and explain the ranking. Only 49 of the winners are discussed on this episode, including Vivien Leigh in Gone with the Wind, Liza Minnelli in Cabaret, Jessica Chastain in The Eyes of Tammy Faye, Judy Holliday in Born Yesterday, Elizabeth Taylor in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, Marion Cotillard in La Vie en Rose, Loretta Young in The Farmer's Daughter and Sally Field in Norma Rae, with the rest covered next week. For the first time in the tier ranking episodes, the performances have been randomized, making the show even more unpredictable as to who will be covered from the list of winners on this episode. Also, the team has instituted two rules that include only 15 winners being able to be in the “S tier” and if an actress has multiple wins, only one of their wins can make it into the 15. It adds a fun wrinkle for the team to try and figure out when they get to their final rankings. It may only be part one, but it's a great episode and we hope you all enjoy it and listen next week to part two. You can listen to The AwardsWatch Podcast wherever you stream podcasts, from iTunes, iHeartRadio, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Spotify, Audible, Amazon Music, YouTube and more. This podcast runs 3h58m. We will be back in next week for part 2 of our Best Actress tier ranking episode. Till then, let's get into it. Music: “Modern Fashion” from AShamaleuvmusic (intro), “B-3” from BoxCat Games Nameless: The Hackers RPG Soundtrack (outro).

Len and Beave go through the career and films of Demi Moore, who shockingly lost Best Actress earlier this year for her performance in "The Substance". What were her best performances? Is she in fact a good actress? What is the key to her appeal? What movies are among her best? Has anyone seen "Wisdom", "Forsaken", or "Wild Oats"? Is "Striptease" a good movie? (Beave will defend that one to the death) And of course, has St. Elmo's Fire aged for the better or worse since its premiere 40 years ago? Tune in!

Susan Sarandon, the actor whose five decade career has earned her six Primetime Emmy nominations and an Academy Award for Best Actress, joins the pod to talk about her early days as a God-fearing Catholic kid in New Jersey.

Natalie joined us just before a trip back home to Paris and was delighted to be fuelled by an array of vegan plates... and a Paloma cocktail to start. Angela served a vegan version of Waitrose's broccoli tabbouleh with preserved lemon & zaatar houmous and Lebanese baba ganoush. The wine experts at Waitrose suggest pairing the meal with Kaapzicht Granite Ridge Bush Vine Chenin Blanc.  We loved spending time with Natalie and we are sure you will too. She shared her passion for vegan food and told Nick and Angela about life (and food shopping) in Paris. We find out what it's like to star in a Guy Ritchie movie and Natalie revisits the year of her Oscar win.  You can watch full episodes of Dish on YouTube  All recipes from this podcast can be found at waitrose.com/dishrecipes A transcript for this episode can be found at waitrose.com/dish We can't all have a Michelin star chef in the kitchen, but you can ask Angela for help.  Send your dilemmas to dish@waitrose.co.uk and she'll try to answer them in a future episode. Dish from Waitrose is made by Cold Glass Productions.

In 2022, Michelle Yeoh became the first Asian actress to win the Academy Award for Best Actress. But she wasn't the first actress of Asian origin to be nominated. In 1935, Merle Oberon was nominated for Best Actress for the role of Kitty Vane in The Dark Angel, only her second film in the U.S. film industry. But no one knew Oberon was Asian. Her public biography said she was born to white parents in Tasmania, eventually moving to India and, from there, to the UK. But Merle Oberon, in truth, was of Anglo-Indian origin, born in Bombay. She'd hidden her heritage to get around U.S. censorship and immigration laws—a secret she took to her grave, even if many in the industry suspected the truth.

Today on the Matt Walsh Show, a Democrat politician announces that she has sterilized herself to avoid getting pregnant in Donald Trump's America. She had to do this, I guess, because of the imaginary law Donald Trump just passed requiring all women to get pregnant. Also, one of the staffers working for DOGE goes by the name “Big Balls.” And now, CNN is on the case. They're on the Big Balls beat, and tracking everything that Big Balls does. And, a trans-identified male actor was on the verge of making history by winning the Best Actress award at the Oscars.
