Homeland Hello, Homeland. Homeland Season 3 Episode 1 recap Nothing is, anymore. There’s only what was and isn’t any longer. It’s that weird, quiet space in the aftermath, and the show doesn’t squirm away from it. It’s there. Firstly, there isn’t the CIA. Obviously. It was summarily By Duana • Sep 30, 2013 08:59 am

Emmy Awards 2013 Best Emmys Save: Tina and Amy Okay, let’s get the sartorial stuff out of the way first. Tina’s dress fit her impeccably. But it was, yes, kind of a boring blue. But her hair was a whole new colour! And she looked more comfortable than she often does on these carpets. Amy Poehler looks By Duana • Sep 23, 2013 01:49 pm
Thinnification Emmys Worst: Claire Danes It’s partly her own doing, I think. Had she showed up just on her own as Claire Danes, then she would have just been Claire Danes and the hair and the tan and that dress, which is not getting enough criticism, would have been judged on their own.

Style Best Young Dressed: Kiernan Shipka It has to be daunting by this point. By now, Shipka knows she’s not just having fun with clothes. That is, she may well be, but now she knows very well that it’s becoming a thing, the way she looks and what she chooses to wear and stuff, By Duana • Sep 23, 2013 12:26 pm
Gorgessity Emmys Most Significant Fabric: Connie Britton It looks like Nashville. Right? Am I right? My girl Connie Britton dressed in Lions red when it was time to celebrate FNL, and now that it’s about Nashville, it’s about the kind of velvet and brocade that might as easily upholster a chaise lounge to celebrate Rayna By Duana • Sep 23, 2013 12:19 pm
