Evan Peters won an Emmy!

Good for him. But is he OK? He looks a bit glassine.

Pathetic OP

Official thread link below. No need for this one.

Hopefully this gives him the confidence to never appear in a Ryan Murphy production ever again.

He wouldn't have gotten the part without being in a Ryan Murphy production and he acknowledged it.

Is it hot in LA tonight?

What words did OP block out. A Rita Moreno show? A Robert Mitchum show?

Are the Emmy voters all DLers? They always award these undeserving twink white guys who will be forgotten in 5 years. Look at Darrin Criss

Thank you Buckwheat, for your post. But Evan Peters has been steadily working for much longer than 5 years and 34 years old is way past Twink. Carry on. Will you tell us next bout how trans women of color created quality tv?

Evan Peters actually deserved it.

R8, who said anything about trans people? You sound like a low IQ Republican. They're obsessed with trans people. You guys only like him because he's straight and semi-attractive. Everyone here shits on out gay actors

Failed deflection. Tell us about how DLers, worshippers of male and female movie stars from the silent era to today, often with encyclopedic knowledge, only like "undeserving twink white guys who will be forgotten in 5 years." And use 34 year old Peters as example. Bravo, dipshit.

He gets very nervous on live TV.

R6 are you retarded in real life also, or just on here?

See R4

His face looks old for 34

He looks like they pulled him out of the bathroom doing drugs.

So happy for this win!

He was hot in that Mare of Easttown show. He should keep that look.

[quote] He looks like they pulled him out of the bathroom doing drugs.

He was literally sitting a table with his mother.

Also, he always looks like that.

What is with you DL queens who are determined to make “Evan Peters, Drug Addict” a reality? You know nothing about him. He couldn’t be more boring.

Hottie Brett Goldstein (the one with the great hairy chest) also won tonight.

So happy for Evan.

Although it was very shady of the voters to snub the past 10 seasons of AHS. He did fantastic work in many of those seasons.

Good for Evan. And he won for something NOT in a Murphy production.

Which is a class act on his part, especially given that Jessica Lange for AHS, and she DID NOT thank Ryan Murphy in her speech.

He should have won for AHS. Maybe the academy gave him the award for this other show to make up for it.

R18 Literally

Shame on her.

Sadly, this thread made me wonder if an actor has ever died of a drug overdose on the night they won an award. While I question Evan’s sobriety, he attended the ceremony with his parents, so there’s a zero percent chance he was high.

Evan is not a sober person. He drinks and admits it. It doesn’t mean he has a substance abuse problem, that he’s a coke addict, etc.

Happy for him. Finally! It was well deserved.

I didn't notice a thing.

The people who are clucking their tongues at Emmy winners who may have had an adult beverage on the night of the Emmys remind me of my mother, who is 81, and has been sober her entire life and has never had a moment of fun or abandon at any point in the last 81 years.

Everyone's drunk at the Golden Globes, the booze is right on the tables.

That look wasn't booze, honey.

What was it, R30?

[quote] Didn't even recognize him in Mare until six episodes in.

?? IIRC Peters’ character only appeared in 4 episodes and ——SPOILER ALERT!!!!—— dies in episode 5.

That person watched Mare of Easttown’s episodes on ‘shuffle play’.

When I told a friend of mine about this show, she asked me if I was watching the episodes in order.

[quote]That look wasn't booze, honey.

He was nervous. Many actors are shy and are fine in front of a camera but are uncomfortable talking live. You can see him taking a big breath but of course R30 had him shooting up at the table in front of his Mother and the world.

If you watch the full video on the Emmys YouTube channel, Evan is clearly stunned and nervous. He says “Fuck!” when they announce his name, and then “Shit!” as he gets up from the table, and then when he gets to the microphone he says something to effect of “Oh shit, public speaking…” and then his voice is audibly shaking as he’s thanking people.

I really don’t understand this prurient compulsion certain people have to *insist* that a particular famous person is a drug addict when there’s no evidence for it.

Though later that night in a brief interview, Evan was asked what he was going to be drinking to celebrate, and he said “Vodka. Lots and lots of vodka.” My boyfriend also thinks he looks like an alcoholic. I don’t personally see that—I just see someone with naturally pale skin.

Good for Evan. I’ve liked him since the tv show Invasion. Anyone remember that show? I was bummed it got cancelled after one season.

What’s next for Evan?

I'm very happy for him. I'm also extremely sad that I will never, ever get a chance with him

How do you know you won’t, R37?

man, he doesn't look well.

LOL ^^

Happy he got this recognition. He’s a hard working actor who doesn’t seem like he’s trying to be a celebrity. I wish him continued success, because I can’t take my eyes off him when he’s onscreen.

I agree, R41. He literally cried on set when he thought he wasn’t nailing his ‘drunk’ scene on Mare. He takes his craft seriously. He’s practically perfect in everything I’ve seen him in, even tripe like American Horror Story.

If you haven’t seen American Animals, it’s a great movie and I highly recommend it. Evan is of course fantastic.

That was really a great drunk scene.

I remember Invasion, R36. It had potential. I liked anything that wasn’t yet another doctor, police detective, or lawyer show. Now, it would have been better suited as a streaming.

@r38 that’s sweet. Because evan has always dated women younger than him. I think anyone over 40 scares him. If i were in my 20s/30s again i think i would have had a shot. He seems like a really sweet person.

I loved Invasion! William Fichtner was amazing.
