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
Photo Assumption Julia Louis-Dreyfus: Worst Emmys Video Assumption Photo and Video Assumption, the favourite game of gossips – drawing baseless conclusions from photos or video moments – but as unreliable as bump watch. And, sometimes, as was the case last night, it can make you feel like a f-cking asshole. This is what happened after Kate McKinnon won the Emmy By Lainey • Sep 19, 2016 11:30 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 Taraji P Henson: Two Emmy Dresses I look forward to seeing Taraji P Henson on a carpet. I was really, really looking forward to seeing her on this carpet. I thought for sure she’d be a contender for best dressed. And then she showed up, in the most boring yellow dress ever, and it seemed By Lainey • Sep 19, 2016 11:00 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 Kristen Bell’s pale lip at the Emmys So… Kristen Bell is not my favourite. And she’s never my favourite on a red carpet. I actually look forward to this; I look forward to not liking whatever she wears on a red carpet. But this did not happen at the Emmys. Her dress was nice. Too flouncy By Lainey • Sep 19, 2016 10:39 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 Amanda Peet: Most Improved at the Emmys If you’ve been reading this site for a while, you know about Amanda Peet – so beautiful and *could* be SO stylish but she makes the weirdest, most fascinating fashion choices sometimes. Like, oftentimes the outfit is almost good. But it’s either an inch too long or an inch By Lainey • Sep 19, 2016 10:23 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 Andy Samberg & Kit Harington: Emmys best presenters All the photos I saw of Kit Harington before the show, on the carpet, were of him making his squinty-eye, brooding face, also known as his Jon Snow face. So it was going to be that kind of night. I thought…wrong. Because they paired him as a presenter with By Lainey • Sep 19, 2016 09:29 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 Michelle Dockery wore a sketch to the Emmys I was bitching earlier about so many pale lips at the Emmys. Michelle Dockery did not go with a pale lip. And her lip colour is probably my favourite thing about her look. This dress was a favourite for many of you. You tweeted and emailed about it. I guess By Lainey • Sep 19, 2016 08:25 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 Regina King: Taffeta at the Emmys I will never not complain about taffeta at an award show. Unless it’s the People’s Choice Awards. And Kaley Cuoco is wearing it. Because that’s where taffeta belongs. But at the Emmys? On Regina King? Regina King, the winner for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited Series By Lainey • Sep 19, 2016 07:52 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 FNL Alumni at the Emmys… and Kirsten Dunst Duana and I laughed about this when we were deciding on how to group some of these posts. I mean, when Kyle Chandler, Connie Britton, Jesse Plemons, and Aimee Teegarden are all there, of course I’m putting them in one post and labelling it FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS…OBVIOUSLY.
