Emmy Awards 2021 Billy, Bowen, Daveed, Leslie, Keenan…and RJP on his own You know another thing the Emmys have over the Oscars? Or any award show that features a wider variety of performers?

Emmy Awards 2021 Fancy dress fashion at the Emmys The big trend of the night was bright colors, but there was a second, micro-trend happening at the Emmys, and it was “people dressed for a Halloween party”.

Emmy Awards 2021 Ted Lasso triumphed in spite of constant complaining Ted Lasso did not sweep the Emmys as Hacks snagged a few comedy awards of its own, but the feel-good show of 2020 still came out on top with acting wins for Hannah Waddingham, Brett Goldstein, Jason Sudeikis, and it took the top prize, Outstanding Comedy Series. These wins come By Sarah • Sep 20, 2021 10:36 am
Emmy Awards 2021 The Schitt’s Creek Emmys Victory Lap It took five seasons before the Emmys recognised Schitt’s Creek. It was after its sixth and final season when Schitt’s Creek won practically everything – best comedy series, all four comedy acting categories, writing and directing. So it was perhaps bittersweet last year when Schitt’s Creek dominated that By Lainey • Sep 20, 2021 10:14 am
Emmy Awards 2021 Emmy Hacks Jean Smart got a standing ovation when she won her Emmy.

Emmy Awards 2021 The Reservation Dogs brought it to the Emmys The cast of Reservation Dogs and series co-creator Sterlin Harjo presented Outstanding Directing in a Limited Series. They all look sharp, but Devery Jacobs BROUGHT IT in a Lesley Hampton gown and earrings from two-spirit design duo Indi City.

Now ‘limited series’ create some of By Duana • Sep 20, 2021 09:01 am
Emmy Awards 2021 Emmys Bad: Seth Rogen calls out the Emmys Seth Rogen was the first presenter of the Emmys, and he looked great. Rogen has had about as good a pandemic as a person can, just sitting at home, throwing pots and expanding his weed company to the US and releasing a best-selling essay collection. He’s also looking good By Sarah • Sep 20, 2021 08:25 am
Emmy Awards 2021 Emmys Good: Cedric’s Open and the Ever-changing Backdrop The show was uneven. There were some good bits, but there were too many bits.

In this post, we’re starting with the Emmys’ good start – which was Cedric the Entertainer doing an Emmys version By Lainey • Sep 20, 2021 08:10 am
Emmy Awards 2021 Intro for September 20, 2021 Dear Gossips, So… the Emmys. Duana, Sarah, and I have the Emmys covered.

What Else What Else? Aaaaand, after all that, the host of Jeopardy! for the rest of the season is who it was predicted to be. Plus a dash of celebrity. And then?

Celebrity Social Media Celebrity Social Media, September 17, 2021 We’ve been so focused on Zoe Kravitz and Channing Tatum going Insta-official that I completely ignored Rene Zellweger and Ant Anstead’s very affectionate photo.
