Emmys weekend parties pack Beverly Hills and Hollywood before Monday show
Riz Ahmed, Noah Wyle, Katherine LaNasa and George R.R. Martin were among the guests at the WME Emmy Party at Avra Beverly Hills on September 12.
The party landed two days before the 78th Emmy Awards. Photos from the night were published by Variety on September 13.
The WME list mixed actors, creators and executives. LaNasa attended alongside HBO and Max chief Casey Bloys. Sean Evans was also on the guest list.
Wyle attended with Sara Wells. Producer Lorne Michaels attended with author George R.R. Martin. The timing was tight. The main ceremony follows on September 14.
Across town, a second gathering had a family focus. Kaley Cuoco and Briana Cuoco attended the John Ritter Foundation Evening from the Heart LA at Sunset Room Hollywood on September 12.
The same event hosted a "Wings" reunion. Tyler Ritter, Amy Yasbeck, Melanie Lynskey and Jason Ritter were pictured together, according to the Variety gallery.
The 2026 Primetime Emmy Awards will be held at the Peacock Theater at L.A. Live in Los Angeles, as reported by ABC News. The show airs Monday, September 14 at 8:00 PM ET / 5:00 PM PT, according to the Television Academy.
The telecast will air on NBC. It will also stream live and on demand on Peacock, as reported by WCNC.
Mariska Hargitay will host. It is her hosting debut, according to Variety. Presenters include Zendaya and Amy Poehler, according to NBC Insider.
Party season is spread across the centre of Los Angeles. The historic Chateau Marmont is the most popular venue for 2026 Emmys parties, according to Deadline. THR and SAG-AFTRA's Emmy Nominees Night also took place on September 12.
The Creative Arts Emmy Awards, which honour craft and guest categories, took place on September 5 and September 6.
What makes this stand out is the calendar. The parties are not an extra. For crews, writers' rooms and casts, they are the last stop before winners are named and next-season decisions pick up pace.
