## Brad and Jen

They announced the separation four months after this and Brad's body language kind of says it all. Brad's face also says, "HOLY SHIT I WAS HOT TEN YEARS AGO." I am both not that into Aniston's dress AND I think she is kind of working it despite the fact that she looks both square and back-lit.

## Courtney Peldon and Jason Davis

![2004 Emmys (16)](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/51326364_10.xml)

ANOTHER BROKEN LOVE AFFAIR WE'LL NEVER GET OVER. I...am speechless. I am without speech. I totally forgot they were ever together, and I DO NOT KNOW what Courtney Peldon is wearing. This flashback was sponsored by acid.

## Sharon Stone

![2004 Emmys (8)](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/infphoto_326878.xml)

"TAH-DAH!" Sharon can rest easy knowing that she looks way better now than she did ten years ago.

## Glenn Close

![2004 Emmys (15)](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/51326313_10.xml)

This is AGGRESSIVELY beige and like every slide in this gallery, the shoes are causing me actual pain, but Glenn looks kind of great in this. It's the sunglasses.

## Allison Janney

![2004 Emmys (11)](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/infphoto_326951.xml)

HOIK IT UP, ALLISON. WAY UP (otherwise, this is pretty swell).

## Teri Hatcher

![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/infphoto_326882.xml)

I don't know why she's doing The Paris Hilton Lean -- I guess it WAS 2004 -- but this has aged pretty well, right?

## Felicity Huffman and William H Macy

![2004 Emmys (10)](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/infphoto_326942.xml)

I DO NOT know what is happening here, but let's give it up for a couple in this slideshow that is still together. (Also, Felicity looks good, with the exception of The Scourge of '04: The Choker.)

## Amber Tamblyn

![2004 Emmys (12)](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/infphoto_326959.xml)

She actually looks GREAT in this -- this might be the best she's ever looked -- and you could pull her off the 2004 red carpet and put her on Monday's and I don't think anyone would know the difference. And yes, behind her is JC Chasez gently guiding Eva Longoria through the crowd whilst Eva wears a loofah.

## David Cross and Will Arnett

![2004 Emmys (9)](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/infphoto_326930.xml)

Amber Tamblyn, meet your future husband. No, the other one.

## Ben McKenzie, Mischa Barton, Adam Brody

![2004 Emmys (7)](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/infphoto_326872.xml)

Mischa looks beautiful. Ben needs blotting papers. Also, I blocked out that haircut on McKenzie and I wish I could go back to that innocent place. Also: this was a time when I believe I owned a tee shirt -- a ringer tee, obvs -- that read MRS SETH COHEN. I really liked me some Cohen in '04.

## Sarah Jessica Parker

I don't like this, but I would dislike it the same amount if someone wore it today, which, in all honesty, kind of comes around to being a compliment. And her face and hair look great.

## Paula Abdul

![2004 Emmys (6)](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/infphoto_326857.xml)

Well. From the neck down she looks totally normal.

## Jennifer Garner

![2004 Emmys (5)](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/infphoto_326856.xml)

Jennifer Garner IS a doily.

## Helen Mirren

![2004 Emmys (4)](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/infphoto_326851.xml)

This was a BOLD choice from La Mirren and, I think, a misguided one.

## Jane Kaczmarek and Bradley Whitford

![2004 Emmys (3)](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/infphoto_326815.xml)

Let's pour some out for this former couple, and also for Jane's dress, which is WAY too fussy for her.

## Patricia Heaton

![2004 Emmys (2)](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/infphoto_326794.xml)

Is it weird that I now kind of dig this?

## Alexandra Hedison and Ellen DeGeneres

![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/infphoto_326817.xml)

Ellen has really upgraded to a better cut of suit.

## Anne Heche and Coley Laffoon

![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/infphoto_326767.xml)

Remember when Anne and Ellen broke up and she married this dude, who worked on Ellen's comedy tour? That's EXACTLY what Sunglasses back there is thinking about, VERY JUDGMENTALLY.

## Portia de Rossi

![2004 Emmys (1)](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/infphoto_326784.xml)

Portia can look back ten years and hold her head high, though. Sometimes going Safe And Boring means that two old hags aren't going to be pulling out a photo of you from a decades-old red carpet and cackling over it.

## Kaley Cuoco and Amy Davidson

![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/32001_51328423-419x654.xml)

Insert cackling here. This is a taste from one of the after-parties and my god, EVERYONE owned those shoes.

## Tess Smith

![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/31991_51326262.xml)

I will never forget the time this happened. Tess Smith is allegedly a screenwriter but she was definitely, in 2004, a bit of an exhibitionist.

## Antonio Banderas

![2004 Emmys (14)](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/51325627_10.xml)

BANDERAS!

[Fugtrospective: The 2004 Emmy AwardsIn case our look back at the 2004 VMAs did not remind you, 2004 was a time of GREAT HIDEOUSNESS. This was also an Emmy Awards that proved that one may never know where one's next romantic interest will lie, but if you are a celebrity, he or she probably went to the Emmys with you ten years ago: Ellen Degeneres was there with her girlfriend at the time (Alexandra Hedison, who is now married to Jodie Foster), while Anne Heche was there with the dude she met whilst on tour WITH Ellen, and Portia de Rossi was likewise in the house, meaning that Ellen was in a veritable sandwich of past and future love interests; Amber Tamblyn was there, as was David Cross, and of course they are now married; Brad and Jen were there together RIGHT before their break-up and BOY can you tell from their body language; and then, of course, there was the great love affair that was Courtney Peldon and Jason Davis. Also: COURTNEY PELDON AND JASON DAVIS WERE INVITED TO THE EMMYS. Finally, this event brought with it one of the most naked displays in the history of this website. ENJOY. \[Photos: INF, Getty\]![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/51325183_10.xml)](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/fugtrospective-the-2004-emmy-awards-08-2014/)
