'13
I love a good acceptance speech where you learn something new about your favorite show. When Claire Danes won “Best Female Actor in a TV Series” for Homeland, she dropped a great little detail in her speech: she and Morena Baccarin (who plays Brody’s wife) are tight and Morena cooks dinner for her while they run lines. For some reason, I find that so sweet – mostly on Morena’s part. Nice lady! As for Claire, she continues her sweep of all of the awards forever and always, even though Damian Lewis and the cast of the Homeland were shut out in their categories. Claire wore this one-armed Givenchy which… I kind of hate. The cut was off, right? The sleeve was poorly done, the leg slit seemed awkward, and Claire just didn’t look comfortable at all. Plus, her makeup was much, much too heavy. It bordered on ghoulish.
Morena Baccarin wore Basil Soda. I really don’t care for it at all – too much fabric, it weighs her down. I’m starting to worry about her, actually – she never gets it right for these awards shows, which sucks because I think she’s extraordinarily pretty.
Damian Lewis and ABU NAZIR!!!!!! Actually, the actor’s name is Navid Negahban and the photo of Damian and Navid together is making my life. I was sad that Damian didn’t win, but I was glad that Bryan Cranston finally got something, you know? Damian looked disappointed to lose, but he didn’t seem grumpy about it. No worries – I’m sure Homeland will dominate the WGA Awards, the DGA Awards and then the Emmys in September!

hair + make up = disaster! Why, oh why, does Claire Danes insist of being blonde (and if she does, then why can I see her roots?!)

I don’t get why they don’t stick to simple beauty looks. It’s for sure an interesting look for a catwalk but its awful for a red carpet. I mean, Kristen Stewart already tried that kind of a super dark lip + reddish eyes and if she couldn’t make it work, there is no way it could have worked on a pale blond woman like Claire.

All she needs are some Lee press-on nails.

This dress wasn’t terrible, but it wasn’t up to Claire’s usual standard. The makeup was a huge WTF. As a fellow paleface, I could have told her that dark brown-red lipstick and that eye shadow were a definite no-no. Her makeup artist should be fired.

I don’t understand the eye make up at all….yikes!

I honestly don’t think she has a makeup artist. No one could consistently do makeup that horribly and have had any form of real training. I think Claire does it herself, which would explain EVERYTHING.

Not so, Jess. I read a quote on Twitter from her makeup artist (forgot who it was) about her “fabulous, on-trend lippie!”
In any case, I’m no professional, but I know enough about my fair skin and blue eyes to stay far, far away from that coppery-brown shadow and the brown-based lipstick. All those years of being around professional makeup artists hasn’t taught her that much? She must be really tired from mothering, or something like that.

Easily one of the worst dressed of the night in my books. The cut is off, the sleeve is odd, the patterned trim is tacky and the whole look is very dated. Fail.

The make-up was terrible. Her lipstick looked black on the red carpet.

I’ve loved Morena Baccarin since Firefly.

Me three! God, I miss Firefly… it was a travesty that that show was cancelled. (Although, given that Joss Whedon is now directing ‘The Avengers’, I think he got his own back.)

Does Claire have really big feet? No judgement if so but I have just never seen them before I dont think…

It wasn’t her best showing. This is more of how I’d expect a new mom to look.
At least she was more gracious in her speech this time.

Ok we’ll blame the make up this time. I was about to say she looks older than 33 and isn’t aging as we’ll as her peers Natalie Portman and Anna Paquin.

Claire’s makeup was horrible – She’s too pale for those shades. Her gown wasn’t awful but it seemed to highlight her unbelievably long torso – I missed her acceptance speech because I was staring at her low waist.

I disagree.
Claire looked amazing. Man, she had her boy 6 weeks ago!!!!
The make up was great. She usually went all racoon but yesterday she looked more juvenile like in her Romeo and Juliet days.

Her body looks amazing, but that dress is awful, the make-up is awful.

Didn’t care for either dress, and Claire’s makeup is really awful. She looked so good at the Golden globes, don’t know what happened here.
Cranston should always win everything!

Claire’s makeup was ghastly. The dress wasn’t much better.

In a weird way I kind of like her look. The dress is really cool and I love the print on the slit. I like that it has one sleeve but I kind of wish that it were tight all the way down instead of being loose at the top. I love Morena and have since firefly!
Also I’m really happy that Bryan Cranston won for BB! That show is incredible!

I actually liked the dress, but I couldn’t get past the lipstick, not her shade at all, she looked ghoulish.

Why doesn’t Clair do movies anymore? Or maybe she can’t get any more roles because of her affair with Crudup?

I didn’t care for Claire yesterday but I’m not sure why. I think the make up-hair situation just threw me off.

The lady in the background behind Morena Baccarin has major back fat going on! Probably should have gone with a different style dress.

Oh my God, we are terrible people, but I was just going to say the same thing. Not in a judgy way – if I wore that dress you’d probably get the same eyeful, but that’s why I wouldn’t wear it.

I was thinking the same thing. Way to much back fat for the dress. Not a good look at all.

I actually like Claire’s dress but the make up is horrendous.
Also, Morena Baccarin’s dress is not amazing but I sorta do like it. It’s probably the nicest dress I have seen of the pictures posted from this event.
Honestly there seems to have been a lot of misses!

Absolutely awful. Bad hair, bad makeup, bad dress. When I first saw her I immediately wondered if she was pregnant again because she looked sick and like she just came from throwing up in the bathroom. This would only look great on Halloween as a witch costume! What was she thinking and who styled her??

I actually like that shade of lipstick on Claire. Not the eye-makeup though. Agree about the dress but nevertheless I think she looks good. She has that new mum glow.
On a separate note is it me or is Damien Lewis doing a little blue steel?

“I was sad that Damian didn’t win, but I was glad that Bryan Cranston finally got something, you know?”
Was this his first SAG award? Because Bryan Cranston won three straight Emmys for playing Walter White, so I don’t feel all that bad Damian Lewis is taking over. Both are deserving.
Anyway, I’m glad that Cranston won, as well. I love Lewis and Homeland, but Bryan Cranston really blows me away on Breaking Bad.

Damian Lewis looks so hot in these pics. I love him…so sexy…and I love that he is married to an older woman!!

I nearly died laughing.
There’s much debate about this in the uk between those who find her beautiful and those who find she looks way too old for her age cause…she isn’t really older than him unless you count 3 years an age gap. You’ve read right, 3 years.
Don’t know what she looked like before but she is NOT aging well , she looks at least 10 years older than him. Must be terrible to have your face go like that when you’re creeping up on your mid-40s!

I think Claire and Morena have been friends for years. They went to high school together at some point.

This is a little OT but I still don’t understand why Sons of Anarchy is NEVER nominated for anything when it is such a critically and publically acclaimed show. It’s very strange to me.

Damian Lewis looks like Salma Hayeks husband with more hair added. And Claire Danes, in the third photo, looks like Nicollette Sheridan.

Why is no one taking about Morena Baccarin . That woman is so ridiculously gorgeous and classy it’s absurd! It should be illegal seriously -lol
I can’t even hate on her cause from the interviews I’ve seen she’s funny, intelligent and down to earth to boot. Wait no! That should be even more illegal to have the whole package like that! Darn!

I can give the dress a pass, but that make-up was just plain bad.

I love C.D.’s dress. It was different from her usual red carpet dress which is usually strapless and different colors. Blah. However, her makeup was unfortunate. Did anyone notice, I think Damian Lewis is married to Draco Malfoy’s mom (the actress)? that is her, right? M.B. is really one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen. Go Firefly!
