Jessica and I were very concerned to see Leslie Jones trending — ANYTHING trending on Twitter is, at first, like a freezing cold hand gripping your heart — but it turns out she just hosted the virtual announcement of the 2020 Emmy nominations. And with her usual vim. Leslie Jones is, God bless, ABSOLUTELY FINE. She also looked great, and had Josh Gad, Tatiana Maslany, and Laverne Cox for company — the latter of whom wore a sheer top and matching sheer gloves, and Laverne, you know how I feel about The Sheers but I just have to say THANK YOU for dressing up so carefully for your early morning Zoom today. I can’t even deal with pants at whatever hour this was, much less thoughtful accessorizing.
Anyway, here, for your debate, are the nominees. Poor Cameron Frye. He’s the only Roy who didn’t get a nod for Succession. I was pleased to see Chidi in here, and so much Schitt’s Creek representation. And Zendaya!
