Minority Mindset

The episode “Go Getter” shifts focus from the current murder case to explore the events that led up to it, which breathes new life into the characters and their complicated relationships in DTF St. Louis. It feels like a complete, well-developed TV episode. The way the story jumps between past and present isn’t about delaying answers, but about building a strong foundation for the increasingly complex love triangle and the emotional secrets – hidden behind what Detective Homer calls “suburban lies” – that are starting to come to light.

Several important things happened this week that are fairly straightforward. Billie saw a picture of Leroy with a woman she recognized as her mother, leading her to believe Leroy is hiding at her home. However, the NTP officers are currently unaware of this information. They’re also dealing with their own issues, particularly Chee, which require further investigation.

The 2026 awards show has already seen some surprises, like early wins for Ryan Coogler’s Sinners and the very first award for Achievement in Casting, which went to Cassandra Kulukundis of One Battle After Another. But the biggest shock of the night came when a tie was announced – something that has only happened seven times in the history of the Oscars.

Madigan expressed her gratitude to her daughter and all of her dogs – we’re curious to hear more about those furry friends! – and especially her husband, Ed Harris. His reaction to her win was incredibly sweet, possibly the most romantic moment of the night. When Madigan’s name was called, she seemed a bit surprised, but Harris just smiled, looking at her with a knowing expression, as if he’d always believed in her. It’s wonderful that Madigan was recognized for her work in a genre film – which doesn’t happen often – but she truly deserved an award regardless.

This year’s Oscars saw a rare tie in the Short Film category, with both The Singers and Two People Exchanging Saliva winning. This was only the seventh tie in the Academy Awards’ history. Interestingly, one of the winners incorrectly stated that this had only happened three times before. The most well-known tie was in 1969, when Katharine Hepburn and Barbra Streisand jointly won Best Actress for The Lion in Winter and Funny Girl. More recently, Best Sound Editing ended in a tie in 2013, with awards going to both Zero Dark Thirty and Skyfall. This year’s tie had an amusing outcome: one of the Two People Exchanging Saliva winners playfully teased Timothée Chalamet during their acceptance speech, which alone makes the moment worth remembering!

Whether it’s unexpected incidents during award shows or controversies happening privately, many celebrities have clashed with the organizations that are supposed to celebrate them.
