...With an Oscar nomination for writing 2002’s “it” movie, Chicago, and an Oscar win and two nominations for his under-appreciated masterpiece, Gods and Monsters, Bill Condon is quickly becoming the P. Diddy of American Cinema: with every work he drops at least two (nominations) or better...

In an upcoming episode, says creator Mitchell Hurwitz, Lucille starts making out with Oscar in an effort to make his brother jealous.
