After a year of television history, the 2024 Emmy Awards showcased great talent, but also massive controversial and shocking moments that left fans in awe.
The award show seeks to recognize the world of television with categories for both the artist talent and the more technical parts of a production. While there are plenty types of Emmy Awards , including a daytime television version , the prime time television is well-considered the biggest night of television of the year.
While the awards and recognition is the primary purpose of the show, off-the-cuff speeches and some runaway red carpet moments truly leave room for spicy drama and powerful statements. We've taken some time to round up the best moments you may have missed this year.
Quinta Brunson told paparazzi 'boy bye' as they requested a certain pose on the red carpet
Quinta Brunson's skintight outfit made it difficult for her to stride too much , meaning she was limited to small steps with only certain types of poses. However, photographers at the event wanted to capture every angle of Quinta's glamorous floor-length gown. The former internet personality had to make it clear she couldn't move certain ways in what she was wearing. Quinta jokingly appeared to tell a particular loud photographer asking her to pose looking over her shoulder, "boy, bye." She added, "Can't do it as I walk you guys, I wish I could," adding in another: "Can't sorry."
Reservation Dogs star, D'Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai, took a stand with a bloody face
D'Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai, star of Reservation Dogs, walked the red carpet with a red handprint painted over his face . This handprint is in recognition of all of the thousands of women that have been silenced and the harrowing fact that Native American women are up to 10 times more likely to be murdered or sexually assaulted. The root cause of this injustice stems from a number of factors including colonization and historical trauma, racism, and sexual objectification of Indigenous women.
Selena Gomez and Candice Bergen disses JD Vance while embracing the "childless chat ladies" trope
Selena Gomez took a swing at presidential hopeful Donald Trump and his sidekick JD Vance, dubbing her co-stars "childless cat ladies." The jab comes as the Republican VP candidate has been under fire for his comments targeting Democrats. In a throwback 2021 chat with ex-Fox News host Tucker Carlson, JD Vance bemoaned the nation being led by Democrats, corporate bigwigs, and "a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choices that they've made and so they want to make the rest of the country miserable, too."
Candice Bergen didn't hold back, either . The celebrated actress reflected on a past episode of Murphy Brown, remarking, "In one classic moment, my character was attacked by Vice President Dan Quayle when Murphy became pregnant and decided to raise the baby as a single mother. Oh, how far we've come. Today a Republican candidate for vice president would never attack a woman for having kids. So as they say, my work here is done. Meow."
