The moment of the Emmy’s 2024 that everyone is talking about

Award season has officially begun; last week there were the Golden Globes, then the Critics Choice Awards and yesterday it was time for the Emmys. Of course, I will go through who the big winners were, what the best looks were, and so on, but first I want to talk about the most beautiful moment. Are the tissues ready? Then we can continue.

Actress Christina Applegate was called to the stage and I guess few people in the audience managed to stay dry at that moment. The actress suffers from the muscle disease MS, which was diagnosed in early 2021. Unfortunately, she has deteriorated significantly since then and has had to put her acting career on hold. She is rarely spotted in public, but especially for the Emmys, she took to the stage.

And she did so with a smile and a tear: ‘You’re totally shaming me for letting me stand up with a disability’ she joked when she stood in front of the microphone. But also: ‘I’m gonna cry, more than I’ve been crying today.’ And many joined her.

She was on stage to present the award for Best Supporting Actress, which went to Ayo Edebiri for The Bear.

Other winners included Jennifer Coolidge for her role in The White Lotus, Jeremy Allen White for The Bear (a series that won many awards last night), the series Beef and Succession as the big winners of the night, followed by The Bear. If you haven't seen those three series yet: what are you waiting for? They are sweeping all possible awards this season.

And now to the most delightful but also shallow part of the evening: the looks. Here’s a list of celebs who looked absolutely stunning.
