The Testaments

Moving on, lead actress in a drama series.

The nominees are Carrie Coon for The Gilded Age, Chase Infinity for The Testaments, Carrie Russell for The Diplomat, Ray Sehorne for Pluribus and Zendaya for Euphoria.

As we've mentioned this season on the old podcast here, in the Winter Awards, there was a bit of vote split.

Keri Russell won at this, not the SAG Awards, the Actor Awards.

Gotcha.

Chase Infinity for The Testaments.

I will not watch that show.

Why? It's Handmaid's Tale.

Real quick before we wrap, Reid, so I know we talked offline.

You said, and I guess it's safe to say that you're getting ready to start shooting season two of The Testaments, which you are fantastic, even though that is a show I can't binge because it's just too icky.

It's so good, but it's not a world that's like, oh, I can't wait to go back and spend more time in that awful dystopian mess in which I'm ashamed to be a man.

But anything else out there on the horizon that we can look forward to seeing? Well, in this new

world, there's nothing else I can talk about.

I have a couple of things coming up, but I don't think I'm allowed.

The only one I'm allowed to talk about is the Testaments.

So, yeah, I'm going back to the Testaments.

Okay, let's do outstanding lead actors and actresses in a drama.

On the actress side, we got Carrie Coon in The Gilded Age, Chase Infiniti, uh, she was the young lady in, um, Battle, One Battle After Another, in The Testaments, which is a sequel to The Handmaid's Tale.

Keri Russell in The Diplomat, Rhea Seehorn in Pluribus, and Zendaya in Euphoria.

I don't know of any idea who's gonna win.

He has been called the first Saxon poet, though he cannot now be credited with all that was once claimed for him.

A clue discovered by a German professor in 1857, being followed up, led to other discoveries, with the result that now, by the general consensus of scholars, many poems formerly attributed to Cadman are reclaimed for his fellow Northumbrian kind wolf who belonged to the century after him still it was cadman who began to set forth scripture paraphrases in the saxon tongue all we know of his personal history we get from a single chapter of bede's ecclesiastical history where he is described as an unlearned man of great piety and humility who had received by divine grace such a gift of sacred poetry that he was able after a short meditation to render into english verse whatever passage was translated to him out of the latin scriptures This unlettered peasant, being taken as a monk into the monastery of Whitby, under the rule of the abbess Hilda, was there instructed in the history of the Old and New Testaments, with the result that what was translated to him out of the Vulgate he reproduced from time to time in beautiful and touching verse, so that his teachers were glad to become his hearers.

We are told that he sang of the creation of the world and the origin of mankind.

of the departure of israel from egypt and their entrance into canaan and also of many other parts of the older scriptures it is said that he also paraphrased portions of the new testament singing of the lord's incarnation passion resurrection and ascension of the coming of the holy spirit and the teaching of the apostles of our lord So far as these metrical versions of the scriptures are known to us, we owe that knowledge to a 10th century manuscript in the Bodleian, bequeathed to that library by the Earl of Arundel.

Of the early version, the Song of Solomon was given in a commentary in 1823.

The New Testament of the same version was published by Pickering in 1848.

Then in 1850, the Oxford University Press published a complete edition of both versions in parallel columns under the title, The Holy Bible, Containing the Old and New Testaments with the Apocryphal Books in the Earliest English Versions, made from the Latin Vulgate by John Wycliffe and his followers, edited by the Rev.
