Strong Black Lead
By now, you’ve probably seen Netflix’s Strong Black Lead short film. The spot is a recreation of the iconic 1958 photo “A Great Day in Harlem” but instead of legendary jazz musicians, Netflix brought together 47 black directors, producers, writers and actors. The promo has been dubbed “A Great Day in Hollywood” and each of these black creatives work on Netflix originals. Full Story
Dear Gossips,
Yesterday in my post about Tracee Ellis Ross at the SAGs, and how she nailed it when she talked about “agency” and “shoes” in the show open, efficiently articulating that women can have agency and shoes and be both and so many other things, I also mentioned Laverne Cox to highlight what the value of the red carpet can be.

There was a lot of shimmering silver on the Emmys red carpet last night. Sarah Paulson wore silver sequins. So did Anna Chlumsky. A few others we’ll get to later. And Laverne Cox. Who wore the sh-t out of her gunmetal silver/grey dress, making the dress better than it deserved to be, really, and came to show off her nails – a new limited edition collaboration with Orly called Celebrate Yourself.

Scarlett Johansson is shooting Rock That Body at JFK airport in New York. It’s about a group of female friends on a stag weekend and sh-t goes sideways. If I had to guess I’d say this is the scene where Scarjo, presumably the bride, is saying goodbye to her fiancé? I’m assuming she’s the bride because she’s being made to wear a headband with two dicks on it. Full Story

You know what a premium we put on awkward these days? Coltish, beautiful young people who have never looked or been awkward in their lives love to use the word as a catch-all that’s supposed to mean ‘I’m a little more interesting than the average person.’ But awkward is not always charming, and assuming the two go together is a luxury most people can’t afford.

The Screen Actors love Uzo Aduba. And they love Orange Is The New Black. As you saw on that stage and in these photos…the women! Women who may not have had a place in the industry before, celebrating the moment. OITNB is on Netflix. And, as we saw with Idris Elba and Beasts Of No Nation, certain branches of the industry aren’t quite ready to embrace Netflix, not yet. Full Story

Let’s get one thing straight, right off the top. If you have to ask someone how to pronounce their name before you say it out loud? That’s what we call ‘common courtesy’. It is not notable enough to announce to the world on a live broadcast, as though the fact that the name was hard for you, Jamie Lee, is notable. Full Story
Sandra Bullock: Most Beautiful
PEOPLE
Is it that time already? For some reason I thought this was a summer issue… It’s PEOPLE’s 2015 Most Beautiful. Last year, Lupita Nyong’o was Most Beautiful. This year… Sandra Bullock. At 50. And in typical Sandy fashion, she kinda laughed about it but didn’t shut it down either, agreeing to an exclusive photo shoot and interview, during which she talks about her relationship with 5 year old Louis, and the hilarious discussions they have about girlfriends …and Lego.
