The Studio took home the most awards at the Emmys last night, with Adolescence and Severance close behind. I only know a couple people who watched The Studio, and it didn’t get a ton of buzz. I’m sure it will pick up viewers after sweeping the Emmys. I wish Andor had more recognition, that show was sublime and so timely, but scifi doesn’t earn as many awards historically. Dan Gilroy deservedly won outstanding writing for a drama series, although I wouldn’t have been mad if either of The Pitt writers won that category.
Among the freshman shows, Paradise and Nobody Wants This didn’t earn any Emmys among multiple nominations. Dying for Sex also got shut out and I know Kismet loves that. It’s on my list! I didn’t watch Nobody Wants This and although it was popular people didn’t rave about it, you know? Paradise really suffered from uneven writing. There were too many writers without enough cohesion between story lines. Episode 7, The Day, was one of the best episodes on television and could have been a standalone movie. The conclusion of the season was ridiculous, and hopefully they’ll get their act together for season two.
Nominee Sterling K. Brown put off ACL surgery to attend the Emmys, which is why he came out on a scooter. This was adorable to me for some reason.

Nominee Julianne Nicholson was gorgeous in a structural fuschia strapless gown. I would have liked to see her in bolder makeup, but I’m a Gen X woman, that’s my default look.
Kristen Bell was very severe looking in an Armani Prive black and white sequin cuout gown. She’s the main reason I haven’t seen Nobody Wants This.

Kristen’s costar Justine Lupe was the earliest arrival I saw on the red carpet. She was a standout in a deep v-neck sequin net Carolina Herrera gown. This is a rare case of a see through gown getting it right, it’s a great balance between barely there and high fashion.
