Sheryl Lee Ralph’s Emmy Speech For The Ages!
If anyone who watched the Emmy awards were in an open-eyed coma from the boredom of it all or were still in a frozen state of WTF from the Emmy’s bizarre and awkward bootleg Debbie Allen of an opening dance number, they were woken up as soon as THEE Sheryl Lee Ralph opened her mouth while accepting her first Emmy ever. Sheryl Lee Ralph won the Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for her performance in Abbott Elementary, and her acceptance speech took us on an epic journey from the THI-TURR to church to a Ted Talk and beyond. And I was strapped in and eating up every entire second of it. By the end, the audience was standing while clapping and thinking to themselves, “What’s that breeze hitting my head? Oh, that’s because there’s no roof since Sheryl Lee Fucking Ralph brought the house down!”
Adele Is A Tony Award Away From EGOT, And Some Think She Married Rich Paul
Seen above in the same kind of duck lips-throwing “shot from above” selfie that my aunties always post on Facebook, Adele added yet another trophy to her piles of trophies when she won an Emmy this past weekend for her TV special Adele: One Night Only. Winning an Emmy put Adele just one letter closer to EGOT and she only needs to win a Tony now. Adele also got a little company in The We Just Need A Tony To EGOT Club this weekend, because Eminem, Paul McCartney, and Ringo Starr also won Emmys and are also just a T away from EGOT. So prepare yourselves for an Adele, Eminem, Sir Paul, and Sir Ringo collab called 21 Mile At Abbey Road: THE BROADWAY MUSICAL!
And while celebrating reaching EGO status on Instagram, Adele’s fans noticed a customized game on her coffee table that they believe could be a clue that she married her boyfriend of more than a year, sports agent Rich Paul.
Sydney Sweeney Says That She Can’t Afford To Take A Six-Month Break Because They Don’t Pay Actors Like They Used To
Actors: They’re just like us! At least according to HBO Max’s teenage angst-darling, Euphoria‘s Sydney Sweeney. Sydney tells The Hollywood Reporter that even though we all think she’s a hot high-paid actress (she is) she actually isn’t paid as much as she could be or as much as actors used to be. Sydney is getting checks from HBO (The White Lotus, Euphoria) and Sony/Marvel (Madame Web), but still, she says that she can’t afford to take a six-month break from acting. As opposed to the rest of the world–who could easily take off half a year from our day jobs to fuck around and not suffer financially.
Sebastian Stan Got Shit For Lecturing About The Importance Of Consent In A Post Celebrating The Emmy Nominations For “Pam & Tommy”
Yesterday FX’s Pam & Tommy was nominated for 10 Emmys, including Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series and acting noms for Lily James as Pamela Anderson, Sebastian Stan as Tommy Lee, and Seth Rogen as the dude who stole the couple’s sex tape. The miniseries was controversial because the real Pam didn’t give her blessing. Sources close to her said she felt violated by this unauthorized retelling of her story, and it was like “re-opening a wound.” Courtney Love, a longtime friend of Pam, said that it was “further causing her [Pam] complex trauma.” The whole thing is especially fucked because Pam & Tommy made it clear that Pam was the victim and the sex tape was shared without her consent. Yet, they retold Pam’s story without her consent. Ipso facto, they’re gross too.
But I guess nobody told Sebastian Stan any of this, because, after the nominations were announced yesterday, he posted a statement on Instagram patting himself on the back for making a show about consent and exploitation, “a crime that we were ALL a culprit of, as media and audience combined.” Yeah, but, like, especially you, right? The 39-year-old capped it all off by tagging Pam and Tommy. To quote Dorinda from The Real Housewives of New York: “I’m insulted by the audacity of her narcissism.”
The 2022 Emmy Nominations Are Out, And That’s “Emmy-Nominated Actress Jennifer Coolidge” To You!
If you’re a Jennifer Coolidge fan, then this news no doubt has you craving a celebratory hot dog real bad. Because the 2022 Primetime Emmy nominations were announced earlier today, and many, many first-time nominees heard their names called by Melissa Fumero and JB Smoove, who announced the nominees during today’s virtual ceremony. Like the effervescent acting powerhouse Jennifer Coolidge, who I would have assumed had already EGOT’ed at least three times by now, but surprisingly has not even come close. But she’s at least an E closer to such a distinction with her first Emmy nomination today, for her work in The White Lotus (it’s a good thing she didn’t let her pizza depression prevent her from accepting that gig). And alongside the usual suspects (Mr. Lasso and Madam Maisel), a number of records were made today too.
