LOS ANGELES (AP) — The 60th Primetime Emmy Awards happen Sunday night, but the Hollywood action is already in full swing. Some run-up highlights:
CALM BEFORE THE STORM: Work hard, party right.
Emmy nominees Chandra Wilson, Sandra Oh, Sarah Silverman, Jon Hamm and Don Rickles were among the stars at a luxe party held in their honor Friday, where many said they needed the breather in a frantic week.
The Academy of Television Arts and Sciences feted nominated performers at a private soiree at the Pacific Design Center in West Hollywood.
In a sunny room filled with yellow roses and orange daisies, a five-piece band played on the patio while guests munched on mini meat loaves, mac 'n' cheese and wild salmon "Wellington." They sipped martinis and a special wine vintage bottled just for the Emmys.
Guests also had a chance to try on pricey diamonds and make their own chocolate gift bags, and each took home a mini makeup kit for the big day.
For the nominees, it was a rare chance to relax in an otherwise busy week.
The Emmy Awards Will Air live on Sunday on ABC.
