While at the Emmys, Shailene Woodley, TV Actress, Said She Doesn’t Watch TV

ByJayme Kennedy

The 69th Primetime Emmys aired last night, and tv fans all over the world watched to see if their favs took home a statue. Obviously, one of the best parts about awards ceremonies is the red carpet beforehand. That’s when we get to see the dresses and suits. And that’s also when stars are asked random questions by reporters. It’s usually pretty harmless, who are you wearing kind of stuff. Shailene Woodley, who was nominated for her role in Big Little Lies, was asked about her tv viewing habits.

And her response had everyone saying, ummm sorry what?

“All my friends who watch TV, I always ask them when they have time to,” she said. “When do people have time to? I’m a reader, so I always read a book.”

So let’s get this straight. An actress, on television, at an awards show for television, WHERE SHE WAS NOMINATED, basically shits on watching tv. Way to know your audience, Shailene.

Twitter was obviously not here for this nonsense. The great thing about Twitter is that you can do it while watching TV!

How nice for you! But you’re at THE EMMYS. When are the “I Read Books” awards?

We all have that one friend who smugly proclaims to not watch tv. We get it, you’re so much smarter than we are <eyeroll>.

And here’s the thing: not watching tv is fine! Real talk: I don’t watch a lot of tv. Not because I don’t want to or have better, more intellectual things to do with my time. I just can’t seem to get caught up and am overwhelmed by all the amazing shows I’m not watching. My “To Watch” list is a major source of anxiety for me, and I will be that person on Facebook regaling Game of Thrones 5 years after the series finale.

TV viewing habits aside, it’s important to know your audience. We literally watched your show ON TV, Shailene.

Red carpet shenanigans notwithstanding, Shailene and the cast of Big Little Lies did pretty well last night. Nominated for 8 awards, they took home 5, including Outstanding Limited Series, and acting statues for Laura Dern and Nicole Kidman. I wonder if Laura and Nicole watch TV?
