SPECIAL: The cast of Girls are experts on shooting awkward sex scenes. When Elijah finally hooked up with his sexy would-be boyfriend, Dill, last season, the scene consisted of Dill basically screaming a series of demands: “Fuck me! Stop talking! Harder! Faster! Slower! Stop, stop, stop! Now go! Go! Faster! Slower! Slower, then faster! Stop talking! Fuck me! Fuck me!” in an attempt to make things less uncomfortable behind the scenes, Rannells recalls making them even more awkward when he tried to fill the silences with chit-chat.
AWARDS: ‘GIRLS’ won 2 Primetime Emmys, 19 wins and 124 nominations.
