Hi, if you missed that super-flirty moment between Hannah Einbinder and Zendaya at the 2022 Emmy Awards, then fear not—we’re here to fill ya in. Before presenting the nominees for Best Supporting Actor in a Limited Series or Movie, Hannah walked onstage with her Hacks costar Jean Smart looking shy...and once they reached the mic, it became clear the two were doing a bit. Side note: Their rapport is just *chef’s kiss*.
Standing center stage, Hannah pretended to hide behind her costar, and when Jean asked Hannah why she would agree to present an award if she couldn’t handle the attention, Hannah revealed her reasoning: From the stage, she’d get an unobstructed view of Zendaya sitting with her Euphoria costars in the audience. Relatable stuff!!
Being the good sport that she is, Zendaya responded with a cute lil wave back to Hannah...and tbh, it’s not at all shocking that Zendaya caught Hannah’s eye. Wearing a stunning black ball gown by Valentino, the actor served old Hollywood glamour, and she NAILED it. And that hair? Just wowwww.
At the 2022 Emmys, Zendaya is nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series, and she’s got a second Outstanding Drama Series nom for her role as executive producer on Euphoria. She’s *also* nominated for Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics for the show’s songs “I’m Tired” and “Elliot’s Song.” Okay!!
Hannah, meanwhile, is nominated for Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for Hacks. TBD whether these two will end up winners tonight, but IMO, Hannah is already a winner for getting that reaction from Zendaya—and Twitter wholeheartedly agrees.
Hannah, tysm for shooting your shot, and tysm for allowing us all to enjoy that moment with you.
