It seems like Niecy Nash has been on the awards circuit for two seasons now for Dahmer, right? According to her Wiki page it’s all the same awards season, 2023, and I guess it’s just skewed due to the strikes. Niecy won her first Primetime Emmy Award last night, and she already has a Daytime Emmy, for Clean House. I used to love that show! Niecy gave my favorite speech last night. She got the crowd roaring when she thanked herself for believing in herself. She ended by saying “I accept this award on behalf of every Black and Brown woman who has gone unheard yet overpoliced like Glenda Cleveland, like Sandra Bland, like Breonna Taylor.”
Niecy was in custom Greta Constantine. I love how formfitting this dress is and her gloves make the look. Niecy’s wife, Jessica Betts, is so supportive and I love to see them together.
Claire Danes was also nominated in this category, for Fleishman Is In Trouble. She was in a pink vintage Balmain gown with a draped crossed back and rhinestones on the shoulders. This looks better from the back actually. It’s pretty, but I would like it in a darker color. Her styling is lovely. I remember watching her on My So Called Life when I was in college! I used to tape that on my damn VCR.
Maria Bello won in this category at the Globes, for Beef. I’m glad Niecy took home the Emmy. Maria was in a Georges Hobeika top and skirt featuring draped strands of crystals. It’s not my taste, but it’s unique. She was there with her fiance, French restauranteur Dominique Crenn. They were sweet together in their red carpet interview on The CW. Maria said they live in LA and Paris.
Nominee Juliette Lewis was in a red Moschino sequin tank dress with a neck bow. I’m not digging this gown or her styling. Her half bun is a bit too severe. Juliette was nominated for Welcome to Chippendales. I haven’t seen that yet but she’s great in Yellowjackets despite my issues with that show.
Juliette’s Yellowjackets costar, Christina Ricci, was in black velvet Saint Laurent. She looks like a goth queen I love this! This look is so much better than her dress and styling at the Critics Choice Awards. Her emerald and diamond jewelry is perfect.
Claire’s looks was perfection. Christina looked good though I would like to see her step away from the goth vibes just once. It’s getting predictable. I didn’t love Niecy’s dress but it fit her well. I think Maria’s top would have worked better with pants than that skirt. Again just like at the Critic’s Choice Awards I feel like the skirt is kind of ruing the overall silhouette.
Gosh, Christina is just SO beautiful. That is some great bling too.
Niecy is normally the absolute queen of bust fit- she neverrrr looks squeezed like this! Greta did her a tiny bit wrong here for a custom imo but it’s still a hell of a glam look and she looks gorgeous.
I don’t understand awards. I watched both Beef and Welcome to Chippendale’s, and while I enjoyed both series, I wouldn’t have thought that either of those actors’ performances merited any kind of nomination. Juliette Lewis, especially, it’s been a year since I watched it, but my recollection is that her role consisted mainly of a lot of obnoxious whining and screaming? She was my least favorite part of that series.
Love Niecy’s speech and I must have her gloves!
Loved Niecy’s speech so much and even loved her comment about it back stage more. She is so right, i also have to say it is a crime this is her first Emmy (primetime) she should have countless more.
Love her dress, Cristina’s and Claire’s, will be nice about the other two photos.
I don’t like Niecy’s dress but her speech and energy were great.
Maria’s jacket-like top is beautiful but the dress is too short and the mismatched shoes ruin the whole look.
Claire’s hairdo and the dress colour work really well for her and the dress is reminiscent of Old Hollywood from the back.
Christina’s whole look is so much better here and that lovely necklace and the bracelet give the outfit that special something. she’s beautiful.
This actress is severely underrated. She has been absolutely STELLAR in every performance I’ve ever seen her in. She deserves all the flowers and awards forever!
Niecy, stop messing with your face!! Those cheeks…ugh. The dress is fine, those gloves are to die for!!
I loved the speech also! She drew from a very similar “I want to thank myself” speech that Snoop gave quite awhile ago.
Niecy Nash is a National Treasure. She hits the right note every time.
