Emmy Awards 2017 Ben Affleck: Emmys Best & Worst Plus-One !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Come on. If you’re here for the gossip – WHAT ELSE IS THERE – Ben Affleck’s appearance at the Emmys was the best gossip of the night. He did not walk the carpet. He was not a nominee.

Gwyneth Paltrow wore pink, in this material, taffeta, when she won the Oscar. Anne Hathaway wore pink, in the same material, when she won her Oscar. And By Lainey • Sep 18, 2017 01:27 pm
Style Jessica Biel: Emmys Best Dressed (Kathleen) Do not adjust your screens. That is Jessica Biel’s name beside BEST dressed instead of worst. It has almost happened before – at the Oscars. Lainey loved Jessica’s look but she was still included in a “Worst” post because of her husband. My ex-crush Justin Timberlake threw himself By Kathleen • Sep 18, 2017 01:16 pm
Style Lena Waithe: Emmys Best Dressed, Best Prepped (Duana) If we have learned one thing from Taylor Swift, it is that there is no charm in fake surprise at an awards show win. Genuine surprise makes great TV – the gasping and gulping and ‘you like me!’ that fuels social media the next day—but the calm, faux splutter of By Duana • Sep 18, 2017 12:57 pm
Style Gabrielle Union: Emmys Best Dressed (Lainey) Words are unnecessary. I’m pretty sure I don’t have to defend this choice. But words are what we do here at LaineyGossip. And all my best words are for Gabrielle Union and how she looked at the Emmys last night. In a word: YES. Up and down and By Lainey • Sep 18, 2017 12:05 pm
Sit DOWN Shailene Woodley: The Emmy “reader” Imagine that you are lucky enough to be involved in the biggest project of the year, at your work, say. Imagine too that you are plucked to be among much more experienced, celebrated, talented people who have been working juuuust about as long as you’ve been alive.

Emmy Awards 2017 Donald Glover’s Earnest Emmys Come on now. When’s the last time we saw someone react quite like this?

Emmy Awards 2017 Riz Ahmed and Issa Rae: Emmys Best Couple Riz Ahmed and Issa Rae presented Outstanding Directing in a Comedy Series. From the moment they walked on to the Emmy stage, side by side, looking goddamn impeccable, I was imagining the life I want them to live together. Most people were tweet-wishing for Issa and Riz to star By Kathleen • Sep 18, 2017 11:01 am
Top Reads Nicole Kidman: Emmys Best (and most controversial?)
