How's your weekend going, WICF readers? Are you enjoying the balmy 70° weather in LA? Enjoying the balmy 34° weather in Chicago? Or have frigid temps this past week been getting you down? (It couldn't be the recent Forbes list of the highest grossing actresses in comedy, could it? I love la Streep, I think she's a remarkable actress and a fantastic person, but it would be wonderful if one of the top five highest grossing actresses in non-animated-film comedies was a working comedian. The numbers, over the last five years: Meryl Streep, $1.3 billion worldwide box office; Sarah Jessica Parker, $916 million; Katherine Heigl, $773 million; Cameron Diaz, $768 million; and Anne Hathaway, $727 million. Tina Fey came in at number 10, with $216 million.)
Whatever it is that you're feeling right now, here is Kristen Schaal, opening the WGA awards last week, to cheer you up:
Maybe she'll perform this for us, at next month's WICF! Girls can dream, right?
