Jennifer Coolidge queen of the Emmys: thanks “the bad gays” of The White Lotus

Award for the funniest and most incorrect actress: Jennifer Coolidge. At the 2024 edition of the Emmys, postponed from September due to the actors' strike, here we were cheering for our Sabrina Impacciatore and Simona Tabasco, but the victory of their colleague The White Lotus it was in the air. And she also gave us one of the few lively moments of a fairly boring evening. Jennifer Coolidge aka the ditzy millionaire Tanya from the series set in Sicily is a kind of actress apart: a bit like her character, she says things she shouldn't say, she's funny and clumsy. First she puts the prize on the ground because it is too heavy, then she says: «I want to thank all the bad gays» of the series, that is, those who in The White Lotus in the end they kill her.

Jennifer then thanks the creator and showrunner Mike White for giving her “the opportunity to play this incredible character”: “He says I'm definitely dead, so I accept it.” We would have listened to her for another twenty minutes, but the time for speeches ends quickly and the host's mother signals it with a sign from the audience. Ok, Jennifer, see you next time.
