Emmy Awards 2012 Best Emmys Consistency: Jon Hamm & Jennifer Westfeldt I received only one text last night opining that Jon Hamm looked a little puffy. While I concur that he wasn’t in full-on chiseled Don Draper form, I thought he looked fairly good. No matter how many times I look at him, I still suck in my breath a By Duana • Sep 24, 2012 12:40 pm
Emmy Awards 2012 Emmys orange but maybe red: Ginnifer Goodwin When did you first learn that the whole "red carpet endeavour" was a little more complicated than just some stars putting on a dress and going to a party? Years ago, right? You heard about the stylists and limo sequences and borrowing dresses and the whole thing and By Duana • Sep 24, 2012 12:13 pm
Emmy Awards 2012 On Emmy enunciation: Kerry Washington Let’s start with the part where I started worrying about my job security. Because when the absolutely fearless Joshua Malina started tweeting about the Emmys – calling Hayden Panetierre Connie Britton’s “Puppet”, and expressing sorrow that the In Memoriam montage did not include Chris Brown – well, I could hear By Duana • Sep 24, 2012 11:37 am
Dumbass Worst Undeserved Emmy Smugness – Jena Malone When you show up at an awards show and you are the first on the carpet because, regardless of roles recently landed, you’re not that important and haven’t been for some time? When you scheme and campaign for a high-profile role, and everyone knows that you wanted it, By Duana • Sep 24, 2012 10:09 am
Emmy Awards 2012 Best Undeserved Emmy Acceptance: Jon Cryer Look, nobody doesn’t like Duckie. We get it. He’s sweet, smart, funny - and that’s before we even get to the fact that he, by all accounts, kept showing up for work on Two and a Half Men even when the notion of “work” turned into an By Duana • Sep 24, 2012 09:57 am
Bad Style Worst Emmy Shut-Out: Lena Dunham & Girls I liked Lena Dunham’s new haircut a lot more than I thought I did, didn’t you? I did think, though, that it looked a lot better in the nominee packs than it did on the carpet. The dress, on the other hand, not so much. The best word By Duana • Sep 24, 2012 09:18 am
Mad Men Best Emmys Torch-Pass: Mad Men’s Out; Homeland’s In Two things can happen when a show sweeps an entire subsection of categories like Homeland just did: either fans who aren’t watching jump in and catch up on this new phenomenon so they can be a part of the club, or they sniff that obviously it’s already “too By Duana • Sep 24, 2012 09:02 am
Homeland Homeland Turbowatch Part 4 – Episodes 7 & 8 Here are the things that, are far as I can see, we can still believe to be true because we haven’t seen them to be false yet. My new move with Homeland is that only what I physically see is true, and even then, it better not be in By Duana • Sep 18, 2012 12:16 pm
Glee Eating Gleeful New York Crow I’ve been quite sick. Maybe it was the fever, or the medication dulling my reflexes. And I had the TV on because so many of you said I should check out Britney on X-Factor. And I’m sure there’s a third excuse somewhere. But no matter how long By Duana • Sep 14, 2012 01:34 pm
Homeland The Irish Don’t Puke Homeland TurboWatch Episodes 5 & 6 Click here and here for the first two installments of TurboWatch. What the ever loving f*ck, Carrie? The one thing I never doubt is Carrie’s commitment to her job. I know she wants to cement him. I know she has that sixth, By Duana • Sep 11, 2012 11:15 am
Break Ups Poehler & Arnett Separate Of course it’s sad. It’s never anything but sad. Two people who wanted to be together forever don’t want that anymore. It’s always sad. But also, when I read about the Poehler-Arnett split, two people I’ve never met but, of course, feel like I would By Duana • Sep 07, 2012 02:36 pm
Meangirl VMA Karmic Payback: USA Gymnastics Team Did I miss the part where they actually introduced these girls? I mean, I know the Olympics wasn’t long ago, but we’re used to seeing them all in skintight leotards and the same skinned-back hairstyle. It’s not like we’re at the point where there’s full By Duana • Sep 07, 2012 11:58 am
Alecia Beth Moore VMAs Unfortunate Matching Hairstyles I’m into whatever Miley Cyrus is selling these days. Engaged? Sure. Sassy new haircut that somehow reverberated around the world? All over it. I had to look up what she’s actually working on right now – but that in itself isn’t a bad thing. I don’t understand By Duana • Sep 07, 2012 11:03 am
Taylor Swift Taylor Swift at the VMAs: boring but good shoes To rail at someone for one thing – being too much of a childish cutesy-poo when at awards shows, just for example – and then, when they change that, sniff that it still isn’t good enough, is kind of the height of bitchiness. But that’s how I felt about Taylor By Duana • Sep 07, 2012 10:35 am
Dumbass VMAs: Twilight “Family” Things about the Twilight contingent’s presentation that were gross, in no particular order: -Peter Facinelli’s dead-eyes as he calculated how much of his salary is worth him doing endless teen press. -Taylor Lautner’s tan and sad uncomprehending smile. Does he know what’s actually going on, often? By Duana • Sep 07, 2012 10:23 am
Girly Throw Downs VMAs: BFF MVPs I wonder if the producers knew that this was not going to be the awards show that anyone remembers past today. I don’t know. Do they think “oh man, we have a sick lineup, this is going to be amazing”? Because while it was fine production-wise and musically, the By Duana • Sep 07, 2012 10:12 am
