Julia Stiles and Ezra Sosa are not saving their last dance for Juilliard. After the actress was paired with the pro dancer on 'Dancing With the Stars' season 35, fans began resurfacing nostalgic videos of her putting her dancing skills on display in the 2001 movie 'Save the Last Dance,' in which she played teen Sara Johnson, a ballerina aspiring to attend The Juilliard School. But Juilliard quickly two-stepped in to make sure fans knew she didn't actually take classes there. "*Checks registrar* No, Julia Stiles did not, in fact, attend Juilliard. But we love her anyway," the school wrote on Instagram Sept. 3. "You can see ~actual~ Juilliard dancers (and musicians and actors) on Opening Night of the Juilliard Fall Festival Sept 16." And while Juilliard added "P.S. Good luck on DWTS, Julia… we’re cheering you on," Stiles and Sosa weren't exactly touched by the comment. "I heard about it, because I think that Juilliard actually posted saying, 'For the record, she did not go to our school,'" Stiles exclusively told E! News at the 2026 Creative Arts Emmy Awards on Sept. 6, with Sosa adding, "which was kind of shady, but honestly, really funny." Stiles clarified, "That was a pretend character I played in a movie. Not only did I not go to Juilliard, I didn't even audition for Juilliard, and I couldn't even, as an actress, get a dancer." The 78th Emmy Awards will be held over three nights, on September 5, 6 and 14. The September 14 ceremony, hosted by Emmy winner Mariska Hargitay, will be broadcast live on NBC from the Peacock Theater at L.A. LIVE at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT and will stream live and on demand on Peacock. Nights one and two will be edited into a single broadcast, the 78th Emmy Awards (Creative Arts), airing Saturday, September 12, on FXX at 8 p.m. ET/PT, available to stream on Hulu the next day.
