That's something that I've never thought I would be interested in, because I don't care about teenagers at all, but I care about sex and I care about gay people. But for me Enlightened changed my life in such a huge way. I think his perception, his nuances are so sharp and I was really moved by it. Jennifer Lopez pole dancing in Hustlers, Renée Zellweger’s press tour, and the women of Parasite eating ram-don were some of the most memorable shoutouts to me.
Now that we're wrapping up award season, where do you fall on this binary: Marriage Story or Little Women?
I am a huge Noah Baumbach stan.
Laura Dern Is A Gay Icon: And That’s on Periodt
While debating whether it would be impactful for me to write a review of the 92nd Academy Awards or if absolutely no one would care, I decided to narrow down my focus and celebrate first-time Oscar winner: Laura Dern.
I first saw it when I was 20 or 21 and I think I watched both seasons eight times that year. But I do have to commend Greta for doing comedy without being mean at all.
I think I might already know the answer to this, but what is your all time ultimate Laura Dern role?
It's Enlightened, it's got to be Enlightened.
Some will say it began with Enlightened, some will point to Big Little Lies, others will scream "Baby Yoda!" But we all can agree that Laura Dern's triumphant cultural domination crystallized this weekend with her Best Supporting Actress win for Marriage Story at the Academy Awards.

While queers across the globe were ecstatic to see Dern finally recognized as the queen she is, the real gay tribute actually went down at another awards ceremony.
She is smart, beautiful, empathic.”
Dern was then briefly linked to Nicolas Cage, her onscreen bad-boy love interest in Lynch’s next film, the 1990 lovers-on-the-run story Wild at Heart.
Dern also dated director Renny Harlin, who was a producer of her 1991 Great Depression-set drama Rambling Rose.
Working in queer media, there's an ongoing argument about what is considered queer canon or queer interest. On Saturday, the Film Independent Spirit Awards honored Dern as part of a musical tribute to the gayest moments you didn't realize were gay in this year's top films. And there's so much to mine with gay people and sexuality and to put that in a teen movie, that could be a cool opportunity.
I know that people were coming up to her at the Oscars and singing the song to her and that was surreal to me. But love always redefines itself, doesn’t it? It's the most profound gay joy and she felt that. Also, just go watch some Laura Dern. So I'm hoping I can say important things about sex. But when you isolate it, there's an awareness of getting rejected for a bougie award, like just a cultural awareness that makes it gay.
That of course brings us back to the Laura Dern of it all.
"If I don't keep with the times or if I don't constantly change, I will lose my audience or I will not be relevant anymore." And I think that's a thing gay people deal with a lot, relevance and just always having to be the next step ahead. So what was it like to have this moment celebrating her and then the next day see her win an Oscar?
It was amazing.
For anyone out there that hasn't seen it, go watch it. I was standing in the back of the tent for the number and it went really well so I had to go say hi. She gave birth to their son, Ellery, now a model and musician, in 2001 and their daughter, Jaya, who has dabbled in acting and activism, in 2004.
Dern and Harper married in 2005 and divorced in 2013.
I don't think people would necessarily watch The Farewell and see Awkwafina getting rejected from the Guggenheim and think that's a gay moment. If we get more nuanced gay things happening, it'll make people understand gay people more and like them more because we gay people are fucking great.
What else are you working on right now and what's next for you?
Well, I mean I'm still holding out hope that my show gets made.
