The Writer’s Guild Awards were on Sunday, and we didn’t cover it yesterday because we’re frankly tired of awards season. You can see the list of nominees and winners here. So many of my favorites won, which makes me happy. Best Original Screenplay was awarded to Eighth Grade, which I loved! Ooh and Sorry to Bother You won Best Adapted Screenplay, that’s such a crazy good movie and you can watch it on Hulu. Other winners included Castle Rock, also on Hulu, for Original Long Form, and The Americans for Best Drama. Emily Blunt and John Krasinski were maybe the big “gets” at the show and they were nominated for Original Screenplay, for A Quiet Place. Emily won a SAG for Best Supporting Actress for that role, but she hasn’t won anything for Mary Poppins Returns, nor was she nominated for an Oscar for MP, which makes me sad. (I am rooting for the song “The Place Where The Lost Things Go” to win best song at the Oscars, but I know that’s a long shot. That song is way better than “Shallow.”
Anyway Emily wore this goofy Dolce & Gabbana jacquard suit featuring a cartoonish giant bow tie with ruffled ends that trail down the front. Apparently Emily and her stylist didn’t get the memo that D&G is to be avoided, but more than that this just looks silly. Does the bow spin around and shoot water out of it? Also, her makeup is bad and she looks over it. I like to see her and John out together though, and I truly enjoyed A Quiet Place and am looking forward to the sequel. Check out John’s smart velvet blazer. Is it a little short for him or is that the look?
Here’s Eighth Grade’s Elsie Fisher. She’s only 15! She looks so cute in a little gingham print suit with a Mickey Mouse t-shirt underneath it. Great boots too.
Sarah Silverman was in a peacoat, high lace up boots and knee high socks. I have socks like this and could achieve this look with some boots. This never occurred to me and I like it!
We also have photos of Ellie Kemper, Julianna Margulies and Rachel Bloom!
Ellie and John are the only ones who look good. My god, what has EB been thinking lately?
John looks ridiculous in that suit. When is this dudes wearing suits that look three sizes too small trend going to run it’s course.
I think John looks silly in that shrink-wrap suit.
Ellie Kemper looks best here in my opinion. Elsie also looks amazing, I love the contrast she looks refined yet young and fun.
Despite the fact that the suit is D&G, I quite like it, even with the strange giant bow.
+1, I would wear the hell out of it!
Emily looks over it. Or maybe she wasn’t feeling well.
Maybe she also hates that bow?
She does look very tired. The bad makeup just highlights it.
She look like lady Gaga??? What has she done to her face?
I agree @Milla, I wonder if she had some lip injections or something. Her face does not look like it normally does.
Sth looks different in her eye-area, non?
@Milla I agree — she looks different in the eyes/forehead. I wouldn’t know that’s her in the header pic if her name weren’t in the headline!
I think it might be bad makeup and pursing her lips in the first photo. I don’t see her as the type to start messing with her face. I hope.
Yes, she looks like she has a cold and took one Benedryl too many.
Seriously, who is this woman, because she’s not the Emily I know.
Her face looks different again.
Sidenote: Wow, just learned Karl Lagerfeld died.
Awww poor Choupette D:
@Steff, WOW, well he’d been looking ill lately, Rest In Peace, Karl.
Her face looks… off?
Came here to say the same thing! Too much Botox, maybe?
Yes!! She looks like a younger version of Faye Dunaway’s post-surgery face. Google Faye; the resemblance is odd.
She looks stoned to me. I’d like the outfit without the crazy bowtie.
I think it’s the lipstick: awful color on her, really.
Funny, none of them are dressed like they’re at the same event.
Whoa! I didn’t recognize Emily Blunt! It looks like she did something to her lips which is too bad because I think she’s beautiful. Or rather, was beautiful.
Glad “Eighth Grade” got some recognition.. the academy should be slapped for excluding Elsie Fisher..certainly the most genuine performance.
Did Emily mess with her face? Ugh.
(Here) Emily Blunt looks like Madonna after her 3rd lift face and too many botox/fillers. She doesn’t look like herself . Unflattering makeup
I actually lol’ed when I saw that. She looks like she walked into the carpet out of cartoon. Like she was supposed to be some character in Who Framed Rabbit Roger but her ended up being dropped out from the movie.
Lately her eyes have looked dead and her lips trout-like. It’s distracting me from commenting on the clothes.
I’d like it without that bow. She does need better makeup, too.
Sarah Silverman looks different to me.
*Gasp!* A Brit wearing a MESSY BUN! Alert the Tabloids!
Elsie looks so cute! The suit is something that would look ugly on the rack, but it looks really snazzy on her and I can’t believe I’m saying this but the Mickey Mouse shirt is perfect with it.
The fact that she got snubbed for MP while Emma Stone won for La La Land goes to show the Academy cares little for rewarding talent.
Whoa what’s up with EB’s face tweaking?! Find a new doc!
If you would have said that was Khloe K in the header pic, I would have believed you.
I LOVED A Quiet Place. It should’ve earned more recognition from the Oscars. I don’t do horror movies, (this isn’t quite horror but I’m a scaredy cat and wouldn’t watch without my boo) but this had me on the edge of my seat the whole time. Just to have a movie with so little dialogue, the sound effects, sound mixing, and music really earned some praise.
I liked it too, and Emily was great in it.
I really like Em’s jacket but not with the bow. The ruffled lapel jacket alone is fab.
Honestly Mary Poppins Return was a boring mess, imo. The best part of the movie was Lin-Manuel Miranda and the cameos, but other than that it was just a repetive carbon copy of the original.
They all have to stay so skinny that it shows in their face (like Courtney Cox) and they eventually succumb to some work. Emily is a very attractive woman. I like this couple. Julianne Marguilis gives me the creeps BIG TIME especially after that Archie incident.
I think Silverman would look ravishing in a (modern) toga; I certainly dress-design-a in something more ravishing than a “peacoat”!… you’re not conservative, Sarah! YOU WOULD NEED HELP TO ACT CONSERVATIVE.

The Writer’s Guild is in competition with Netflix and Amazon, but they’re all doing the same old stuff.

It was Can You Ever Forgive Me? (not Sorry To Bother You) that won Best Adapted Screenplay at the WGAs. So thrilled for that win along with Eighth Grade since they were 2 of my faves last year.
