Sunday's Emmys ceremony was full of planned reunions, but it was a seemingly impromptu hug between Bella Ramsey and Ariana DeBose that caught many people's attention. Why? Because the embrace came just a day after The Last of Us star made a joke at the expense of the Oscar-winning West Side Story actress, one which Debose did not appreciate.
This saga began on Sunday when DeBose found herself in a moment of bewilderment at the Critics Choice Awards. While announcing the Best Song nominees, Ramsey read a scripted joke that included DeBose in a list of "actors who also think that they are singers," along with Jack Black and Ryan Gosling.
The camera captured DeBose's quizzical reaction as the joke unfolded. Ramsey's co-presenter Anthony Ramos, who shared the Broadway stage with DeBose in Hamilton, added a quip, suggesting the lineup was fit for the Grammy Awards.
DeBose later took to her Instagram Story to clarify her reaction to the joke and wrote, "No I didn’t find it funny. Lol."
Cut to Monday, and it seemed like all was forgiven, or at least enough was forgiven for DeBose to put on a show of making nice with Ramsey. During the course of the Emmys, writer and pop culture maven Evan Ross Katz posted to Instagram a photo of the pair hugging at the ceremony.
"Incredible!" Katz wrote in the accompanying message. "Here’s Bella Ramsey and Academy Award-winner Ariana DeBose hugging at tonight’s Emmy Awards."
