Kristen Bell
Kristen Bell was not sure whether her pre-Emmys beauty regime was really going to make her look more glam on the red carpet. “Getting ready for the #emmys…Look closely…I have serious doubts this is actually a lip conditioning sticker my makeup artist @simonesiegl applied over my mouth…I’m pretty sure she just wanted me to zip it,” she joked.

Eric Stonestreet
We’re not quite sure what Modern Family co-star Eric Stonestreet meant with his post, except that maybe he was trying to keep cool on day when downtown L.A. was sweltering and his sitcom was nominated for Outstanding Comedy Series. “#emmyawards icing down has begun,” he wrote. (Photo: Instagram)
Liev Schreiber
Liev Schreiber, who was nominated for the third time for Ray Donovan, wasn’t at all stressed about the whole thing, judging by a photo of him and his son that he shared: “Sasha and me getting ready for the Emmy’s @showtime.” (Photo: Instagram)

Amy Schumer

Anthony Anderson

Kerry Washington and Kristen Bell were, as Washington put it, “Just a couple of Disney Princesses in the Green Room! ABC/Disney love. #Emmys.” (Photo: Instagram)
Kristen Bell
One of the awesome things about Kristen Bell is that she never takes herself too seriously. “Caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror and said, confidently, ‘This looks GREAT guys! Let’s go!’ Then was informed we’re only half way done. Oh well,” she joked. (Photo: Instagram)
Sofia Vergara
Cheers! The Modern Family cast got in on the snacks at the ceremony. “We all have juice,” Sofia Vergara noted. (Photo: Instagram)

Amy Schumer
Amy Schumer and her Emmys date, boyfriend Ben Hanisch, made some new friends, who happened to be movie stars John Travolta and Kelly Preston, before the show started. You know, no big deal. “Me and Ben. And travovo and presto. #normal #Emmys,” she documented. (Photo: Instagram)
Felicity Huffman
American Crime star Felicity Huffman snapped a congratulatory photo with Regina King — who won her second consecutive Emmy for supporting actress role in the show — and their co-star, Lili King. “Regina King!!!

Yum! Minnie Driver lunged at the PB&J sandwiches host Jimmy Kimmel offered to the audience during the ceremony. “With all the sandwiches @jimmykimmel’s mom made,” Driver wrote. “Thanks Mrs Kimmel!” (Photo: Instagram)
Connie Britton
Connie Britton was almost as excited as the rest of us when she bumped into her Friday Night Lights co-star Kyle Chandler. “The Reunited,” she wrote. “#Emmys #fnl #blurry.” We’ll take it anyway! (Photo: Instagram)
Tony Goldwyn
Can you really blame Scandal star Tony Goldwyn for staying out past his bedtime to hit an Emmys afterparty with this crew, including Priyanka Chopra? “Post-Emmy fun,” he shared. “Should be going home but… @priyankachopra @anjula_acharia @kelilee7 @danasupnick.” (Photo: Instagram)

Derek Hough
If there was any doubt about where Dancing With the Stars pro Derek Hough got his talent for dancing, there isn’t anymore! “Thank you to @brooksbrothers for hooking my dad and I up with our tuxes for the Emmys,” he captioned a snap of his and sister Julianne’s pop Bruce, who accompanied them to the awards show. “As you can see we were pretty happy about it. #ialwayshavetojumpatTheEmmys #likefatherlikeson #thatDudeInTheMiddleThough @brucehough.” (Photo: Instagram)
Patton Oswalt
Funnyman Patton Oswalt wasn’t in the mood to celebrate, even after winning the award for Outstanding Writing in a Variety Special for his Netflix special, Patton Oswalt: Talking for Clapping. Talking to reporters backstage, he sweetly dedicated his Emmy to Michelle McNamara, his late wife, who died at 46 in April. Then, headed to an empty Arby’s, where he wrote that, “This #Emmys after party is off da CHAIN!” (Photo: Twitter)
TV’s biggest night is the perfect time for stars like Kristen Bell, Jimmy Kimmel, and Amy Schumer to share the funny and sweet moments of what was going down before and after they stepped onto the red carpet.
