Critics Choice Awards joke controversy resolved with sweet Emmy reunion

The Critics Choice Awards and Emmys recently took place, showcasing memorable celebrity moments.

If you're finding it hard to keep track of all the awards shows taking place, you're not alone. This past weekend, both the Critics Choice Awards and the Emmys brought us numerous memorable celebrity moments. It's worth noting that the Emmys, originally scheduled for last year, had to be rescheduled due to the strikes conducted by the Writers Guild of America (WGA) and the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA). Now, let's dive into some of the highlights from these two renowned events.

During the Critics Choice Awards, presenters Bella Ramsey and Anthony Ramos attempted to add some humor to the show. They made a joke about actors who 'think that they're singers' and surprisingly grouped Ariana DeBose into this category. However, anyone familiar with Ariana's career is well aware that she is not merely someone who 'thinks' they can sing.

Ariana DeBose boasts an impressive Broadway career, including her role in the original cast of the groundbreaking musical Hamilton alongside Anthony Ramos himself. Furthermore, she received an Academy Award for her portrayal of Anita, a character known for her remarkable singing abilities, in the 2020 West Side Story reboot. So, it's safe to say that Ariana has solidified her status as an accomplished singer. Needless to say, the joke did not sit well with her, as becomes evident from her subsequent Instagram story post, where she bluntly stated, 'No I didn't find it funny. Lol.'

Now, fast forward to the Emmys, which took place recently. Both Ariana DeBose and Bella Ramsey attended the event, proving that any lingering animosity from the previous joke has been left behind. In a heartwarming moment, the two shared a sweet hug in the audience, captured and shared by writer Evan Ross Katz.

This incident serves as a reminder that even in the world of entertainment, where emotions can run high, misunderstandings and misinterpretations happen. However, it's refreshing to witness a gesture like this, demonstrating that individuals can move past such incidents and maintain positive relationships.

And there you have it, another fascinating chapter in the magic of awards season. It's incredible how these shows bring together talented individuals from various fields and create both unforgettable moments and occasional mishaps. Make sure to check out our comprehensive coverage of the Emmys for more exciting updates.

As award season continues to unfold, we can expect more surprises, emotional speeches, and perhaps even a few more unexpected encounters. Stay tuned, and let's see what unfolds next.
