At Sunday\u2019s Primetime Emmy Awards, Sydney Sweeney presented the award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie \u2014 but not before host Nate Bargatze took a jab at the recent controversy surrounding her American Eagle ad campaign.<\/p>\n
\u201cI forgot \u2014 I have a blue jean tux on for some reason. We had, like, a joke \u2014 there\u2019s a cummerbund, and I forgot what it… I don\u2019t know. All right, please welcome two-time Emmy nominee Sydney Sweeney,\u201d Bargatze said.<\/p>\n
Sweeney walked up to announce the nominees without acknowledging the joke. <\/p>\n
Over the summer, Sweeney\u2019s jean ad, which played on the phrase \u201cgood genes,\u201d was widely panned, but also garnered support from the White House<\/a>. <\/p>\n Steven Cheung, White House communications director, weighed in on X to denounce the backlash<\/a> as \u201ccancel culture run amok.\u201d<\/p>\n And President Donald Trump<\/a> said<\/a> that \u201cif Sydney Sweeney is a registered Republican, then I think her ad is fantastic.\u201d<\/p>\n The actor was not nominated for an Emmy this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"At Sunday\u2019s Primetime Emmy Awards, Sydney Sweeney presented the award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited or…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":158317,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[57],"tags":[236,11643,10549,88,7105],"class_list":["post-158316","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-emmy-awards","tag-emmys","tag-entertainment","tag-sydney-sweeney"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/158316","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=158316"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/158316\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/158317"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=158316"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=158316"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=158316"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
