Emmy Awards 2022 Intro for September 14, 2022 Dear Gossips, Yesterday in the open about the Emmys I wrote that I’ll be interested in what the ratings are because I wasn’t convinced that people cared, and the timing wasn’t great with so much sh-t going on even before the Queen died and the 24-hour non-stop By Lainey • Sep 14, 2022 09:08 am
Top Reads Best Dressed: Quinta Brunson and Abbott Elementary I’ve decided that the best thing about Sheryl Lee Ralph’s win last night is that it was all the things. It was unexpected – in a stacked category, she was not favoured to win, particularly, though I don’t think there’s anyone out there who doesn’t love By Duana • Sep 13, 2022 10:30 am
Emmy Awards 2022 The Year of Squid Game In 2021, the Emmys took place on September 19, just two days after Squid Game premiered on Netflix. Everyone was oblivious then, no one had any idea that Squid Game would go on to become the most-watched series in Netflix history and come to the Emmys a year later and By Lainey • Sep 13, 2022 10:04 am
Emmy Awards 2022 The White (And Red, And Green, And Magenta) Lotuses… I need to start this post with an apology to Mare Winningham and Kaitlyn Dever, both of whom were in Dopesick, but who must have known, when they saw the Best Supporting Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie, that there was absolutely no chance they were getting By Duana • Sep 13, 2022 09:37 am
Top Reads Zendaya’s Historic Night In 2020, Zendaya won the Lead Actress in a Drama Emmy for her performance in season one of Euphoria. She’s now two for two as she won again in the same category last night, making history in the process as the first Black woman to win in that category By Lainey • Sep 13, 2022 09:08 am
Emmy Awards 2022 Emmys High Point: Lizzo This tweet struck me tonight: I got close pic.twitter.com/btBymFMKQA — Henry Winkler (@hwinkler4real) September 13, 2022 First because who doesn’t love Henry Winkler, second because I’d bet money he wrote it himself – it’s not a good enough angle to be chosen by someone who cares By Duana • Sep 13, 2022 08:47 am
Emmy Awards 2022 Only UnderDogs In The Building If you haven’t met me (it’s been a minute) you are free to shout at me for not being a fan of Ted Lasso. It’s entirely personal, between me and sports and aw-shucks-ism, and I reserve the right to be into it in 12-15 years, but for By Duana • Sep 13, 2022 07:14 am
Emmy Awards 2022 Sandra, Reese, Christina, Lily: Emmys sparkle and shimmer I think I mentioned last week at some point that I was curious to see what the level of fashion would be at the Emmys after Venice and TIFF because, well, the stars threw it down in Venice and Toronto. So, to be honest, after so many showstopping looks from By Lainey • Sep 13, 2022 06:27 am
Emmy Awards 2022 Amanda Seyfried Left It With Lizzie You know what’s obnoxious about me? (How long do you have?) I’m a gloater. I can’t help it. Not when it’s going to hurt anyone else, or anything like that, but when Amanda Seyfried won the Emmy last night, I immediately smugged that I called it By Duana • Sep 13, 2022 06:04 am
Emmy Awards 2022 Issa and Robin: What the Emmys don’t appreciate It was five years ago at the Emmys that Issa Rae went viral for saying that she was rooting for “everybody Black”. Five years later and… https://twitter.com/mekishana/status/1569477106987577344 Issa hasn’t changed. But the Emmys haven’t changed either where Insecure is concerned because after a By Lainey • Sep 13, 2022 05:41 am
Emmy Awards 2022 Kenan’s Easy Like Sunday Evening An ongoing theme of last night’s Emmys coverage is that there’s just more TV than even the most voracious among us can consume, so I won’t bother asking if anyone’s been watching How To with John Wilson – but that show is where I became aware of By Duana • Sep 13, 2022 05:16 am
TIFF 2022 Coverage Intro for September 13, 2022 Dear Gossips, So the Emmys last night… Not sure about you but it was a weird one and maybe some of that had to do with the timing? They happened a week earlier than usual this year, and on a Monday, and basically at the same time as everything else. By Lainey • Sep 13, 2022 04:48 am
