At the 2024 Emmy Awards, the Only Murders in the Building star showed off her "losing face," which she had humorously practiced just days earlier on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. The 32-year-old actress had joked with Fallon about how she rehearsed her reaction in case she didn’t win the Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series category, drawing inspiration from Jennifer Aniston’s Rachel on Friends.
During the live broadcast of the Emmys, Gomez put those rehearsed skills to use, delivering a gracious, well-practiced applause for the eventual winner. Fans were quick to notice and shared side-by-side clips of Gomez’s award show reaction alongside her comical rehearsal on The Tonight Show. The similarities were uncanny.
