By my count, three good things have happened this year: 1) Moonlight won Best Picture (Drama) at the Golden Globes, 2) I found $5 in the pocket of a coat I hadn’t worn since last winter, and 3) Fargo co-stars Kirsten Dunst and Jesse Plemons got engaged.
Though I’m sure this is exciting for them, it’s almost certainly more exciting for me—someone who is probably among the top 100 to 150 Dunst fans (we call ourselves Kirstans) on the planet—as I’ve received plenty of joy looking at photos of the two of them as a couple over the past few months.
She has frankly never looked happier than when photographed alongside Plemons (not even in her character poster for Eternal Sunshine, which smiled at me from my college dorm room), and I have never looked happier than I did upon reading The Good News when it was texted to me by Jezebel Deputy Editor Kate Dries last night.
How nice. How good.
