“I wish you all could win, obviously,” said Jimmy Fallon. “But, if you don’t win, are you practicing your ‘losing face?’”

“Oh yeah, sure,” said Gomez and her co-stars before the host announced the winner of the “Emmys” to be “not Selena Gomez.”

The actress then applauds, and nods in agreement while looking to the right, seemingly recognizing the imaginary winner for their performance before breaking character and laughing.

As the made-up situation became a reality at the actual awards ceremony where she wasn’t able to take home any trophies, the actress performed the same routine: applause, look to the side, and say something positive about the winner.

“She needs the best actress just for this performance alone!” wrote one fan.

“She doesn’t need the Emmy! She has a billion reasons to smile!” said another.

Her series, Only Murders in the Building, continues to be a success with a fifth season being announced for 2025
