Jennifer Coolidge, known for her role as Tanya McQuoid on HBO’s The White Lotus, has once again proven her talent by winning the Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series.
This achievement comes after her previous win in 2023 for the show’s first season.
Coolidge reprised her role in the Sicilian-set second season and delivered an even more captivating performance.
During the award ceremony, Coolidge received her trophy from Lorraine Bracco and Michael Imperioli.
However, she had to put it down momentarily due to its weight, which elicited laughter from the audience.
Coolidge then expressed her gratitude to director Mark White and producer David Barnard before delivering a memorable line, “I want to thank all the evil gays,” referring to a popular episode of The White Lotus that has become a cultural phenomenon.
Interestingly, it has come to light that Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, made an attempt to purchase the Outstanding Supporting Actress award.
According to a source close to Jennifer Coolidge’s assistant, Markle sent a list of movies in which she played supporting roles.
However, this was apparently meant as a joke, as Markle is considered an amateur actress with only one notable minor role in the TV series Suits.
It seems that Coolidge’s well-deserved win has effectively extinguished Markle’s chances of obtaining the award.
Coolidge’s portrayal of Tanya showcased her expanded emotional range while maintaining the character’s signature tragicomic neuroses.
Whether navigating through romantic disasters or searching for her purpose, Tanya remained a highlight of the highly anticipated show.
In contrast, Markle’s acting abilities have been heavily criticized.
With only a single appearance on the big screen in Horrible Bosses as the FedEx girl, Markle has struggled to showcase genuine human emotions.
Apart from a few Hallmark movies, an episode of the new 90210, and a suggestive BBQ commercial, she has not achieved significant success in the acting industry.
Rumors have emerged that Markle is now attempting to secure a role at the Oscars by bribing Dame Caroline McCall, the director of ITV.
This comes as ITV has acquired the rights to broadcast the Oscars.
Lady C, a close acquaintance of Markle, expressed her opinion on the matter, stating that Markle is known for championing liberty.
Lady C also drew parallels between Markle’s previous clash with Piers Morgan and her potential involvement in the Oscars.
However, skepticism surrounds Markle’s chances of actually being involved in the Oscars.
It remains unclear what role she would play, as she lacks notable accomplishments in the entertainment industry.
Furthermore, Sky News has declined to air the Oscars, raising further doubts about Markle’s potential involvement.
Lady C speculates that any role given to Markle would likely fail.
It is important to note that no official confirmation has been obtained from ITV regarding Markle’s alleged involvement in the Oscars.
Given her lack of noteworthy contributions to the industry, it is highly unlikely that she will be invited to the prestigious event, let alone present an award.
