Anne Hathaway hosted SNL last night and did a total 180 from her hosting gig at the 2011 Oscars. At those awards she was stiff and awkward, but last night, Obama's favorite Catwoman was funny and charming.

Our introduction to Homeland's C.I.A. officer protagonist Carrie Mathison was raw, almost punk: less than five minutes into the show's series premiere, we saw her wipe her crotch while scrambling to prepare for a meeting. With that moment, Homeland presented a portrait of Carrie's womanhood and sexuality that was nearly as unapologetic as the character itself.
