It would be incredibly wrong of me to go one more minute without posting a couple of pics of Ugly Betty’s Vanessa Williams at the Emmys this past Sunday.

Wow – what an absolutely beautiful, classic dress.  It’s from Rafael Cennamo, and this color is not only daring, but quite perfect for Vanessa.
But, what absolutely makes this look work is the incredible makeup by Sam Fine.  For an in-depth look at how Fine worked around the challenge of not only a very hot day, but this wonderful dress as well, check out this post.

It’s that time of year again; everyone seems to be doing some early handicapping the Emmys.  The latest entry is Michael Slezak’s prognostication in Entertainment Weekly.  And he seems to like Ugly Betty.  A lot.  (Hey, so do I!)
He doesn’t give an entire list, but Slezak is operating under the assumption that Vanessa Williams is a hands-down favorite for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy for her portrayal of Wilhelmina Slater on Ugly Betty.  And, although I agree (she’s shown some incredible range in season 3), we Vanessa Williams fans have been burned before when it comes to television’s …read more

Just Wow. Was Ashley Jensen not simply lovely last night at the Emmy Awards?

From the beautiful, classy, extra-long strapless dress, to the blingage to the perfect makeup – Jensen was nothing less than the classiest lady on the red carpet.
Hopefully, one day, she’ll win for her work with Ugly Betty, which I think is underrated (Vanessa Williams and Becki Newton get more screen time, so they are usually first in line for Supporting Actress nominations).
I love this pic with her husband, Terence Beesley:

Of course, it’s no secret that Ugly Betty’s America Ferrera is on the Emmy shortlist for Best Actress in a Comedy. If there is an awards show that gives television awards, you can bet that America Ferrera will be nominated in the actress category. And rightly so.
BUT, this year was kind of spotty for Ugly Betty. So, if you want Ferrera to win (and I so desperately DO – we get it, Hollywood, you like Tina Fey – enough already), it would be of concern just which episode was submitted to showcase America’s talents.
I am pleased to …read more

Ana Ortiz, who has a classic elegance to her, appears here at the 4th Annual Entertainment Tonight Emmy Party Sponsored by PEOPLE. Click the thumbnails for high quality pics of.

I was wondering if any party pics of cast members would surface. You never know – the Ugly Betty cast is one of the hardest working in show business. Good to see some of the cast made it to the parties.

I can’t say it enough: pure grace and class.

Bonus video interview from TV Guide Channel with America and Rebecca Romjin after the jump:

Here are some wonderful pics of Becki Newton, Michael Urie and Ana Ortiz at the Emmys.  They seem like such a family!

In this week’s edition of Newsweek, there in a transcript from a two-hour Emmy roundtable discussion held with Masi Oka (Heroes), Sally Field (Brothers and Sisters) , Julia Louis-Dreyfus (New Adventures of Old Christine) ,Jeremy Piven (Entourage), and Ugly Betty’s own America Ferrera.  It starts off talking about how starstruck Ferrera was about meeting Sally Field:
When two-time Oscar winner Sally Field arrived for our first-ever Emmy Roundtable, America Ferrera, the radiant young star of ABC’s freshman hit series “Ugly Betty,” stayed bolted to the floor. “I’d go up to her, but I’d just say something dumb,” Ferrera said. “All I could …read more
