Emmys 2019: Christina Applegate has awkward red carpet moment with E! host Giuliana Rancic

Christina Applegate had an awkward encounter on the Emmys red carpet with TV host Giuliana Rancic.

The comedy star, who appears in Netflix series Dead To Me, was speaking to the E! host ahead of the ceremony when Rancic asked if her daughter was watching back home.

"I don't know if she's watching E!," she said, before pausing and suggestively adding: "You know..."

Many Twitter users couldn't help but detect awkwardness between the two with one user posting the clip with the caption: "Christina Applegate didn't have to murder Guiliana Rancic like this."

You can see the moment for yourself below.

It was a terrific night for British talent. Ben Whishsaw (A Very English Scandal), Jodie Comer (Killing Eve) and Black Mirror's Charlie Brooker and Annabel Jones all won key awards.

HBO series Game of Thrones, which was the evening’s most nominated show, took home just two trophies – Outstanding Drama Series and Supporting Actor for Peter Dinklage, who played Tyrion Lannister.

Patricia ArquetteMichelle Williams and Billy Porter – who became the first openly gay Africa-American winner of Outstanding Actor in a Drama Series in Emmys history – were all praised for their acceptance speeches.
