The 2021 Primetime Emmy Nominations Are Out, And “The Crown” Walked Away With A Whole Bunch

July 13, 2021 / Posted by:

Today is the day that the nominations for the 2021 Primetime Emmy Awards were announced. And if it wasn’t obvious enough by the title above, or that picture of Josh O’Connor as Prince Charles and Emma Corrin being the queen of shy acting as Princess Diana, Netflix’s 100% fictional-slash-totally historically accurate The Crown dominated the nominations today. If you work at either the palaces of Buckingham or Kensington, do everyone a favor by unplugging the WiFi and acting clueless about these nominations. Because anyone with a title probably isn’t going to have a great day after hearing the Diana season just got rewarded with a ton of prestigious American TV award nominations. Or maybe someone could ease the blow by mentioning that the Baby Yoda show got just as many nominations as The Crown? It’s worth a shot!

Jennifer Aniston Saved The 2020 Emmy Awards From Going Up In Flames, Literally

September 21, 2020 / Posted by:

The 2020 Primetime Emmy Awards happened last night and it was hosted by Jimmy Kimmel who performed in front of like, three camera operators and a producer. There were cardboard cutouts instead of humans in the audience. Even though that sounds like a late-night TV host’s idea of Hell on Earth, Jimmy still put in the effort for all three hours.

To lighten up this year’s bleak circumstances for the isolated ceremony, Jimmy brought out a few people to help present awards, like his good pal Jennifer Aniston, who helped save him from a trashcan fire. A fitting, if not accidental, metaphor for the year so far. She also popped up in a mini Friends reunion, which was surely a nice little distraction for those who can say it hasn’t been their day, their week, their month, or even their year.

The 2020 Primetime Emmy Nominations Were Announced Virtually This Morning

July 28, 2020 / Posted by:

Even though COVID-19 will have actors and actresses accepting awards at home in their pajamas for the unforseeable future (Joan Crawford, quarantine vanguard!), said actors and actresses still deserve the time-honored Hollywood tradition of competing for awards. But while the movie industry is sort of standing around looking confused as hell as to when their awards ceremonies will happen, the television industry is extremely confident they’re happening as previously scheduled, and they announced the nominees for the 72nd Primetime Emmys this morning. But of course, because we’re still dealing with quarantine, the nomination presentation had to happen in what looks like a very expensive Zoom upgrade called Room by Zoom.

RuPaul Has Tied Jeff Probst’s Emmy Record For Outstanding Reality Host

September 16, 2019 / Posted by:

RuPaul is a legend that has been around for a while (that sounds shady, but it’s the truth – photographs from the 90s don’t lie!) And you don’t achieve legendary status without also breaking a bunch of records. Like most hours clocked through the soft-focus filter of a camera lens, or total number of miles walked down a runway in a beaded gown while holding your breath. Over the weekend, the Creative Arts Emmys were held in Los Angeles, and RuPaul has come one more award closer to breaking yet another record.

James Corden Is Sorry For Kissing Sean Spicer At The Emmys

September 19, 2017 / Posted by:

Disgraced former White House gerbil Sean Spicer continued his post-firing image rehab tour on Sunday night by performing a bit about number-fudging at The Emmys. Rachel Bloom’s face kind of said it all for the people who were unimpressed with Sean Spicer’s attempt at being cute. After Sean Spicer performed his”Ain’t I a stinker?” routine he stuck around backstage and went to after-parties and took pictures with celebrities. James Corden was one such celebrity who really got a kick out of meeting and greeting Spicey. But now, James Corden is really sorry for acting like a fangirl on Emmy night.

Ariel Winter Managed To Get Two Times The Attention At The Emmys

September 18, 2017 / Posted by:

Attention enthusiasts know that the Emmys are a tasteful affair; you’ve got to balance out your ass with some class. Thankfully, Ariel Winter showed everyone last night how to do it. Ariel came in a dress by Steven Khalil featuring not one, but two crotch-high leg slits. Angelina, who? I’m sure her dress was very expensive, so for those of you hoping to find the look for less, I would probably suggest Craigslist the day after the next AVN awards.
