Emmy Awards 2016 Sterling K. Brown: Emmy Win Ascendancy If you watched American Crime Story: The People vs. OJ Simpson, you thought to yourself, of the actual Christopher Darden, “Man, I don’t remember a lot about that guy at all”, and then the real guy faded into the performer and it became “I really wish he would kiss By Duana • Sep 19, 2016 01:02 pm
Emmy Awards 2016 Tracee Ellis Ross: Best Emmys Attendee If you took yearbook-style snapshots of the night last night, Tracee Ellis Ross would be in the middle of all of them having a blast, like the most popular girl at school. She’s having a great time at this thing, her Ralph Lauren dress looks great and – and this By Duana • Sep 19, 2016 12:33 pm
Emmy Awards 2016 Mandy Moore’s Emmy Comeback Of course it’s a comeback. Mandy Moore was not on anybody’s mind, even though she was working a lot. I clicked by John Krasinski on TV the other day, and it turned out to be some horrible horrible movie where he was trying to marry Mandy Moore, and By Duana • Sep 19, 2016 12:06 pm
Emmy Awards 2016 Laverne Cox: Most Empathetic Emmys Presenter 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 By Duana • Sep 19, 2016 11:42 am
Emmy Awards 2016 Kate McKinnon: Best Emmy Win This woman really, really did not expect to win. Those are always the most fun to begin with (and it was really the night to be a long-shot to win wearing a red column, huh?), but when you add that the person who surprise-wins is incredibly talented, it makes things By Duana • Sep 19, 2016 11:20 am
Emmy Awards 2016 Stranger Things at the Emmy Awards Is there nothing they can’t do? Honestly, this is the kind of thing I usually hate—kids being brought into an adult situation to capitalize on being cute. You can see them, eyes whirling in their heads, trying to figure out how to get everyone to laugh and smile By Duana • Sep 19, 2016 10:50 am
Emmy Awards 2016 Cuba Gooding Jr: Best Emmys Sacrifice I’m pretty shocked at the number of people who didn’t see American Crime Story about OJ, although to their credit, a lot of people conflated it with either American Horror Story, American Crime, or the OJ documentary. Far be it from me to tell Ryan Murphy what to By Duana • Sep 19, 2016 10:30 am
Emmy Awards 2016 Maisie Williams & Sophie Turner: Carefree at the Emmys If you’ve never watched an episode of Game of Thrones, you still have to appreciate the cuteness of these two. They’ve grown up together in the spotlight of this ridiculous behemoth of a show, and despite the fact that, as far as I can tell, they haven’t By Duana • Sep 19, 2016 10:07 am
Emmy Awards 2016 Viola Davis: Emmy Dress Sixth Sense I don’t love this dress on Viola Davis, but I’m always grading on a curve for people who wear colour. Still, this one feels a lot more prom-y than some of the showstoppers she’s worn before. So did she choose this because she knew it wasn’t By Duana • Sep 19, 2016 08:54 am
Emmy Awards 2016 John Mayer: Emmys Inexplicable Musician Do we know why…? I read an article that was like “Here’s why John Mayer was at the Emmys…he was part of the house band!” Yeah, thanks. But whyyyyy was he in the house band? Did he write the music? Did he just want a semi-anonymous gig to, By Duana • Sep 19, 2016 08:08 am
Emmy Awards 2016 Anna Chlumsky: Emmys Most Fascinatingly Dressed I am not mad at it. (Lainey: me neither.) If you are, let’s take a second. What are you mad at, exactly? Here’s what I love about this amazingly ballsy dress: it’s not trying to be something else. It’s not like “Oh, but no, I am By Duana • Sep 19, 2016 07:35 am
Emmy Awards 2016 Emmy Highs and Lows with Minnie Driver Every so often I check to see if I still feel an unusual kinship with Minnie Driver, and the answer is yes. This is based on not much besides similar colouring, an outspoken-ness that sometimes doesn’t come out right, and secret ringlets that haven’t seen the light of By Duana • Sep 19, 2016 06:15 am
Emmy Awards 2016 James Corden: Emmys ubiquitous We all know it’s coming. The wages for being universally popular all at once are that you will then get a wave of backlash and unpopularity all at once. This, of course, is directly proportionate to the number and breadth of high-profile people who say they love you. Not By Duana • Sep 19, 2016 05:33 am
TV Updates Rami Malek: Emmys Best Speech I still have to pinch myself that the name ‘Rami’ is now approaching household-name status. I shouldn’t be, it’s fun to say; it’s just that for so long, none of the names and phrases I grew up hearing from my Egyptian dad seemed real. I half thought By Duana • Sep 19, 2016 04:15 am
TV Updates Constance Zimmer: Best Emmy Sport People are widely divided on this look. I don’t hate it, but it’s definitely not Quinn, and I think that’s what people do hate about it. The bob keeps it on the right side of things for me but I think if she had romantic hair we’ By Duana • Sep 19, 2016 03:23 am
Emmy Awards 2016 Amy Schumer at the Emmys: Something To Talk About So a lot of people are talking about Amy Schumer and her sister Kim looking like twins on the Emmy red carpet. The rolled-necks of their black dresses do look very similar, they’re both Vivienne Westwood, and even the hair looked the same. I saw the whisper that this By Duana • Sep 19, 2016 02:48 am
