Wolf Hall: These Costumes Deserve Their Own Crown (and an Emmy)

 

If you’ve watched Wolf Hall: The Mirror and the Light, you probably already know how stunning the costumes are – but now the Emmys have made it official. The series is nominated for Outstanding Period Costumes at this year’s Primetime Emmy Awards that will be broadcast on Sunday, September 14th at 8:00 PM EST on CBS. Joanna Eatwell (Costume Designer), Havva Buckles (Costume Supervisor) and Clare Vyse (Assistant Costume Designer) are being recognized for their spectacular work in the series, and particularly the episode “Wreckage”.

The costumes in this series are more than just historically accurate—they’re powerful, full of character, and absolutely gorgeous. We have already gushed about them in our “Best of Wolf Hall” posts, but this nomination gave us the perfect excuse to revisit our top five favorite looks from the series.

Throwback Thursday to Damian Lewis at the 2012 Emmy Awards

“I don’t really believe in judging art. But I thought I’d show up just in case. Turned out alright.” – Damian Lewis

We had Prime Time Emmy Awards Ceremony last Sunday. I have not been watching for the last several years since there was no nominee, a TV show or an actor, that I would root for. But the event marks such a personal moment in my life that I would love to take you all back to 2012 Emmy Awards and re-live Homeland‘s BIG MOMENT!

Well, it all starts with the nomination. Homeland scores BIG in Prime Time Emmy  nominations  – it is not just a record number of nominations for Showtime and but also the highest for any freshman series that year!

Entertainment Weekly asks Damian how he feels about his nomination just after the Emmy nominations are announced.

“I’m really thrilled. Over the moon. I was asleep. So I was just getting some extra zzzzs and I woke up with my phone buzzing next to my head.”

We have Prime Time Emmy Awards coming up this Sunday. As much as I believe it is a crime that we do not have stakes in this year’s Emmys, I will just keep calm and carry on taking us all back to 2012 Emmy Awards and re-live Damian’s BIG MOMENT!

TOP Damian Lewis Moments 2015: Hand in Hand

If you feel the need you can debate who is making who look better, but I’m going to be diplomatic and say that Helen and Damian are just gorgeous together.

Quite honestly I have no idea how they manage to fit in everything that they do, but it is certainly true that life is not fun if you have no one to share it with. I’m sure Charlie Crews would in all likelihood give us a sad smile in agreement.

Chloe Fox of vogue described Helen and Damian in an interview from 2013 like this

“Separately, they are engaging. Together, they are a little bit intoxicating.”

So, with that wonderful quote in mind, the last blog of 2015 is looking back at our favourite couple hand in hand at various points throughout the year.

65th Berlinale International Film Festival

The couple attend the Berlinale for the premiere of Queen of the Desert in which Damian plays Charles Doughty-Wylie. Damianista actually posted about the Berlinale as an individual top moment for Damian as well.
