Emmy Awards

Jenna Ortega set the tone for the 2025 Emmy Awards early ... stunning in a barely-there top that left little to the imagination -- and proved to be one of the hottest red carpet looks!

The TV star arrived in a blouse of what looked like loosely patched together baubles ... which revealed her ample cleavage and her toned stomach.

It's a daring look -- more so than Pedro Pascal or Sydney Sweeney who stuck to more traditional red carpet get-ups ... though Justine Lupe also got in on the skin-baring trend at the event.

Squished inside this celebrity mash-up is an actress who's no stranger to the limelight, but given the following clues, do you think you've got what it takes to unscramble and put a name to the unknown?

She may appear to be dazed and confused but that's just part of her acting charm ... Some may call her the "Queen of the Indies." She starred in the classic film "Best In Show" alongside many greats like Eugene Levy and Catherine O'Hara.

Before you go off "Kicking and Screaming", can you guess who this Emmy-nominated star is?

"STAND-UP" and give Nate Bargatze's looks over the years a round of applause!

Here is a 33-year-old version of the stand-up comedian rockin' a striped tee and freshly groomed performing at the Buckhead Theatre in Atlanta, Georgia back in 2012 (left). This was 5 years before he broke out as a star on Netflix's "The Standups."

And, over a decade later, the now 46-year-old silver fox rocked his spiffiest white tux on a red carpet earlier this year (right).

Bargatze blasted a plethora of spiffy snaps through his long-standing career, and as he gears up to host tonight's Emmys, we can place our bottom dollar he'll bring his stage-ready looks and jokes to the stage ...

The imperative question here is: Good Genes or Good Docs?!

Your vote counts:

Eric Dane isn't letting his ALS diagnosis keep him from the biggest night in television ... he's set to hit the Emmys stage this weekend, months after sharing his big health update.

The Television Academy announced a lineup of presenters ahead of Sunday's awards show, confirming the "Euphoria" star would be attending the 77th annual Emmys alongside Stephen Colbert, Jenna Ortega, Walton Goggins, Angela Bassett, Sydney Sweeney, among others.

Eric's addition to the big show is certainly noteworthy given his current health situation. Remember, back in April, the "Grey's Anatomy" alum shared he was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, commonly referred to as ALS.

"Beyoncé Bowl" is setting a great precedent for the upcoming 77th Primetime Emmy Awards -- and the megastar is now an Emmy winner for the first time!!!

Her Netflix special was created for the NFL's 2024 Christmas Day Halftime Show, and it took home the category of Outstanding Costumes for variety, nonfiction or reality programming on Tuesday.

The Emmy Committee rolled out the winners list in the juried categories a month ahead of the Creative Arts Emmy Awards showtime at the Peacock Theater at L.A. Live, come September 6 and 7. No nominees in those categories ... just expert picks!!!

Beyoncé and Kendrick Lamar are both up for an Emmy following their respective music performances during the 2024-25 NFL season ... and TMZ Sports asked Ray-Ray McCloud who he would have his vote for the prestigious award -- and he said he has to give the nod to K. Dot!!

We gave the hard-hitting question to McCloud when we linked up with the wide receiver/music producer ... and he said Kendrick's Super Bowl halftime show edges out Beyoncé's Christmas performance.

"Beyoncé's was hard," he said. "You can't knock Beyoncé. She's one of the best performers ever. But Kendrick, the moment, the whole setup, the aesthetic, all of it man."

Beyoncé and Kendrick Lamar will face off for a live performance Emmy Award later this summer -- and it won't be Anthony Anderson's burden to open the envelope or make the dirty jokes ... he's been there, done that as a host!!!

We recently caught up with Anthony in Beverly Hills -- the veteran actor hosted the 2023 Emmys and offers some advice for this year's host, Nate Bargatze ... and that is -- No jokes are off-limits!!!

Easier said than done with so much Diddy and Coldplay material up for grabs ... and we ask Anthony his prediction for the winner of Outstanding Variety Special (Live) between Kendrick's "Pop-Out Concert" and the "Beyoncé Bowl."

Kendrick Lamar pushed his "Not Like Us" Drake diss to the forefront during his Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show in February -- and he's being honored for the performance with a pair of Emmy nominations!!!

On Tuesday, Kendrick earned 2025 Emmy Award noms for Outstanding Music Direction and Outstanding Variety Special (Live).

His performance in Apple Music's big set spliced together cultural innuendos, a PlayStation controller, women's jeans, and Samuel L. Jackson and Serena Williams ... 133.5 million viewers said it was one for the history books!!!

And the Emmy goes to ... Adam Copeland?? It could happen ... and the AEW superstar tells TMZ Sports it's surreal to even be considered for the prestigious award!!

The 51-year-old wrestler and actor chopped it up with Mojo Muhtadi on the "TMZ Sports" TV show (airs nightly on FS1) ahead of his in-ring return at AEW Dynamite: Fight For The Fallen ... and we got his thoughts on being up for the Best Supporting Performer in a Preschool, Children's Or Young Teen Program for his role in Disney's "Percy Jackson and the Olympians."

Even though he's got a growing resume in front of the camera, Copeland said he didn't really think of himself to be much of an actor until recently.

"Hacks" snagged the Outstanding Comedy Series at last night's Emmys, beating "The Bear," which has been called out by some for not actually being a comedy -- and Susie Essman tells us while the Chicago-based show is unfairly criticized for its categorization, it's not the fault of the show's actors or crew.

The comedienne tells TMZ even though "The Bear" racked up a record-breaking 11 wins, at the end of the day, the show is a drama -- and probably shouldn't be included in the comedy category at all.

Susie spills the tea on why she thinks "The Bear" got labeled as a comedy series. Check out the video to hear her take!

Shelley Duvall's fans are livid about her being snubbed when she was left off the 2024 Emmys' "In Memoriam" segment, calling it downright disrespectful ... but her longtime partner isn’t sweating it.

Dan Gilroy tells TMZ he’s not upset over Shelley’s omission from the segment ... he's giving the Emmy producers the benefit of the doubt, saying it may have been an oversight -- noting segments like these are planned way in advance.

Dan also tells us, in the grand scheme of things, Shelley being left out of the segment is small potatoes compared to what he and Duvall dealt with over the past few years ... considering she suffered greatly while battling diabetes, which ultimately led to her death in July.

"RuPaul's Drag Race" star Ross Mathews shut down any talk about the cast feeling robbed by "The Traitors" winning at the Emmys -- but, some others on the show aren't on the same page.

The TV host told TMZ that win or not, just being invited was an honor -- and his upbeat mood speaking to us Sunday evening after the ceremony definitely backed that up.

Ross also reminisced on how he’s gone from covering the Emmys BTS to arriving on the red carpet ... check out the clip to hear him rave about his journey!

Dan Levy may be one and done when it comes to hosting award shows ... hinting as much to us when we caught up with him after the 76th Primetime Emmys.

The "Schitt's Creek" co-creator hosted the year's 2nd Emmy Awards with dad Eugene Levy at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles Sunday evening ... and while the father-son duo got mostly rave reviews for their hosting work, DL made it clear he was burnt out after all of it.

As Dan told TMZ ... he wasn't sure he had another awards show in him ... and stayed tight-lipped on whether he was eager to take the father-son act on the road, noting it took "a lot of work."

Selena Gomez was decked out in bling for the 76th Primetime Emmy Awards ... though, people may need to "Calm Down" before jumping to engagement speculation.

The "Only Murders in the Building" actress stepped out for the awards show at Los Angeles' Peacock Theater Sunday evening ... where she wore a striking black Ralph Lauren gown and several noticeable diamond rings -- including a platinum band covered in marquise diamonds on her left ring finger.

Of course, having such a bauble on that finger instantly got tongues waggin' about the possible engagement of the Disney Channel alum and her music producer boyfriend, Benny Blanco.

The biggest names in Television stepped out for the 76th Primetime Emmys Awards -- the 2nd Emmy Awards of 2024 -- so, it's no surprise the after-parties were equally star-studded affairs.

After Eugene and Dan Levy impressed as hosts of this year's ceremony ... bringing together a "Schitt's Creek" reunion with Annie Murphy and Catherine O'Hara, the evening's big nominees and their famous friends hit Los Angeles for some much-earned celebrating.

Netflix's after-party at the Hilex in L.A. appeared to be one of the hot spots of the night, especially after Richard Gadd took home 3 Emmys for his hit on the big red N, "Baby Reindeer."

The Primetime Emmys are back again ... returning just eight months after the last edition -- but, the stars came out with just as much excitement for round 2.

Selena Gomez and hit the red carpet in a stylish black gowns ... while TV legend Jennifer Aniston changed it up with a bright white ensemble. "The Bear" star and Emmy winner Jeremy Allen White looked stylish in a classic black tuxedo.

A couple of Gomez's close friends -- and "Only Murders in the Building" costars -- Martin Short and Steve Martin opted for a pair of stylish black tuxedos.
