Stars Turn Out for Emmy Week Festivities Across Los Angeles
Variety's photo gallery captures celebrities at Emmy week parties in Los Angeles, including events hosted by the Creative Coalition, BAFTA North America, and streaming services like Apple TV, Netflix, and HBO Max. The images feature actors such as Mariska Hargitay, Sheryl Lee Ralph, Riz Ahmed, and Katherine LaNasa mingling at various soirees. The gallery highlights the social side of television's biggest night.
The Emmy week circuit spans multiple days of industry gatherings, with the Creative Coalition and BAFTA North America hosting early events before the main ceremony. Streaming platforms Apple TV, Netflix, and HBO Max each staged their own celebrations, while talent agencies like WME held exclusive soirees at venues such as Avra Beverly Hills.
The WME party on Sept. 12 brought together figures from different entertainment spheres, including "Saturday Night Live" creator Lorne Michaels and author George R.R. Martin. Variety's senior culture editor Marc Malkin compiled the gallery, which also captured actors like Mariska Hargitay and Sheryl Lee Ralph mingling at various functions throughout the city.
These party photos could shape public perception of awards season as much as the ceremony itself, reinforcing the glamour and social networking that surrounds television's highest honor. Fans may feel closer to their favorite stars through candid images, while industry observers might read attendance patterns as signals of momentum or alliances. The coverage could also boost the profiles of streaming services competing for cultural relevance.
