"Master of None" Wins Best Comedy Series | 2016 Critics" Choice Awards | A&E
This years Critics Choice Awards combines film and television categoriesnearly doubling the shows chances of drawing a strong turnout. Needless to say, the red carpet didnt disappoint. Jennifer Aniston, Rachel McAdams, Rosie Huntington-Whitley, and Saoirse Ronan were among those who turned out in their finest.
While most movie stars used the live telecast as a diversion to avoid interviews, a few, like Bryce Dallas Howard, were happy to talk shop. I got it from a store called Forward by Elyse Walker, the retail-loving Best Actress in an Action Movie nominee said of her low-cut Balmain dress. Ive alluded to this a little bit before, but when youre not a sample size or if you dont have a direct relationship with a designer or if you dont have a lot of noticethose size six dresses arent available. What Ive found is, if something is last minute, I go to Neimans or I get something online. As for the dresss plunging neckline, the actress laughed, Im really taped and Im touching my b*****s a lot, making sure that the tape is still sticking. I hope its not awkward for anyone.
Another film star,Jacob Tremblay of Room, relied on a little help from family. My mom and my dad helped me get ready, said the nine-year-old, whose tie featured monkeys.
Fashionably adventurous writer/director Paul Feig also went sans stylist. This is a little Ralph Lauren action, the Spy nominee said of his velvet tux with satin lapels. I get in there and buy this stuff. When I did the Globes, I wore a Tom Ford jacket with a little more color to it, so I thought Id go more basic black, but give it a little pop.
I know how to dress, insisted nominee Wendi McLendon-Covey. Borrowing things? Free is just too expensive, let me tell you. Its such a headache. I prefer to do it myself. Added Tracee Ellis Ross, Sometimes I work with a stylist. Sometimes I dont. For award shows, [borrowing] is probably the easiest. And I like to be smart with my dollars. I am a girl who has a closet and loves to shop.
For her part, Gina Rodriguez sang her stylist Lauren Rodriguezs praises. Were not related, but were soul sisters, she said. My stylist is like the love of my life. Shes been styling me since before I had money to pay her. She knows how I want to represent myself.
Meanwhile, Best Actress in a Comedy Series nominee Constance Wu worked with Jessica Paster to select her cornflower blue Peter Langner gown. I really loved the color, said the Fresh Off the Boat star. I was inspired a lot by Alessandro Michele at Gucci. Does she aspire to be dressed by Mr. Michele himself? Maybe one day. Im not getting that kind of stuff yet. Im so new to red carpets that Im still figuring it out.
Mary J. Blige, nominated for her role on The Wiz, selected J. Mendel for the occasion because its easy. Its comfortable. Its sleek. Its couture. Its everything that all the award shows are. I felt like being classy and chic. I hope thats what I am.
Wes Bentley said that the men have it far easier than the women. It doesnt matter at the end of the day if Im wearing something well, no one is going to talk about it, said the Armani-clad American Horror Story nominee, but for women, no matter what you do, theyre going to talk about it good or bad and thats a pressure I wouldnt want. I feel for them.
