We love a red carpet moment for casts of our favourite TV show. From Meryl Streep and Martin Short from Only Murders In The Building, to everyone from The Bear, seeing your faves interact irl is a guaranteed way to have you binge-watching all over again. But why did the cast of Bridgerton not attend last night's Emmy awards?
ICYMI, the 76th Primetime Emmy Awards at Los Angeles’s Peacock Theatre took place last night. And while Nicola Coughlan and Jonathan Bailey from Bridgerton season 3 were in attendance, the likes of Luke Newton and Simone Ashley were absent. Why?
Well, as Deadline explain, in order to be eligible for the 2024 Emmys, a show must air at least six episodes in the year prior to 31st May, 2024. Bridgerton season 3 part 1 was released on 16th May, but it was only four episodes, while Bridgerton season 3 part 2 came on 13th June, and was four additional episodes.
So, why were Penelope Featherington and Anthony Bridgerton present this time round? Well, actress Nicola was presenting an award at the ceremony, while Jonathan was up for the Best Supporting Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie award, for his role in Fellow Travelers.
In the end, Lamorne Morris won the gong for his work on Fargo. But hey, Johnny and his red carpet look have our hearts, so who's the real winner here?
