2024 Emmy Week Party Guide (Updating)

If it feels like we just celebrated the Emmys — it's because we did, due to the postponement of last year's show to Monday, Jan. 15 on account of the strikes. (Here's a recap of what happened on that eventful night, from the fashion to the moving acceptance speeches — we're looking at you, Niecy Nash — to why one of our writers believes the Emmys "desperately need a 'dramedy' category.")

Now that the 76th television awards have relocated back to its September time slot — the show co-hosted by Eugene and Dan Levy will air on Sunday, Sept. 15 at 5 p.m. PT on ABC — the industry is ready to celebrate with the annual roster of Emmy parties, benefits, gifting lounges and festivities. Here's what's on tap.

FRIDAY, SEPT. 13

Chain x 'People' Magazine's 50th Anniversary

Actor, director and foodie B.J. Novak's Chain — which started as a pop-up in 2022 and now has a permanent East Side home — serves Michelin-starred chef Tim Hollingsworth's takes on chain restaurant classics. On the heels of last month's Chain Pizza Skillet Social and as it gears up for the second annual ChainFEST, Chain will kick off Emmys weekend with a tasty event at the Chain House celebrating People's 50th Anniversary.

'The Hollywood Reporter' x SAG-AFTRA’s Emmy Nominees Night

At this fifth annual event, THR and SAG-AFTRA will toast this year’s Emmy nominees from a private residence in the Hollywood Hills — with help from sponsors Glenfiddich, Heineken and Shake Shack.

SATURDAY, SEPT. 14

BAFTA TV Tea Party

Rather than two separate events for film and TV (in Jan. and Sept., respectively), last year, BAFTA (the British Academy of Film and Television Arts) held one joint tea party celebrating talent from the big and small screens. This year, not only will there be a separate TV tea party, at the Maybourne Beverly Hills from 2-5 p.m. — which there hasn't been for four years for various reasons (from the pandemic to the Queen's death to the strikes) — but BAFTA North America will also be throwing an inaugural New York Tea Party. This debut event on Sunday, Oct. 6 at the Pierre is presented in conjunction with the New York Film Festival.

“The addition of the New York Tea marks an exciting new chapter for us as we continue to expand our work and presence, and cultivate our community,” said chair of BAFTA North America Joyce Pierpoline. For more info on BAFTA, visit bafta.org.

Tory Burch x 'Glamour' Annual Luncheon

Also on Saturday, Tory Burch is once again teaming up with Glamour for a private lunch during Emmys weekend honoring women in television — some of whom will be sporting looks from the vibrant fashion brand. Last year's guest list included Elizabeth Debicki, Rachel Brosnahan, Jessica Williams, Padma Lakshmi, Dominique Fishback, Aja Naomi King and Hannah Waddingham.

MPTF's 18th Annual Evening Before

The Motion Picture & Television Fund (MPTF) supports the entertainment community through financial assistance, crisis counseling, caregiving support and residency on the Wasserman Campus in Woodland Hills — and one of their biggest annual fundraisers is the evening before party.

This year's event on Saturday night is co-chaired by Greg Berlanti and Robbie Rogers, Jon Hamm and Anna Osceola Hamm and Sheryl Lee Ralph, and the host committee is packed with industry heavyweights such as Christine Baranski, Matt Bomer and Simon Halls, Stephen Colbert & Evelyn McGee-Colbert, Billy Crudup, Jamie Lee Curtis, Mark Duplass and Katie Aselton, Hannah Einbinder, Dakota Fanning, Richard Gadd, Walton Goggins, Jessica Gunning, Takehiro Hira, Tom Hollander, Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson, Janelle James, Jimmy Kimmel and Molly McNearney, Brie Larson, Nava Mau, Sarah Paulson, Jonathan Pryce, Hiroyuki Sanada, Anna Sawai, Dominic West, D’Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai and Bowen Yang.

SUNDAY, SEPT. 15

The 76th Primetime Emmy Awards 

The Television Academy's biggest night — hosted by father-son duo and Schitt's Creek stars Eugene and Dan Levy — will air live on ABC from the Peacock Theater at L.A. Live in DTLA from 5-8 p.m. PT (8-11 p.m. ET). The live show is set to air on ABC and stream next day on Hulu. Here's a refresher on this year's nominations (favorites like The Bear, Hacks, Only Murders in the Building and Abbott Elementary will square off for best comedy series; shows including Shogun, The Crown, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Slow Horses and The Morning Show are in the running for best drama; and the limited series race includes Baby Reindeer, True Detective: Night Country, Fargo, Ripley and Lessons in Chemistry).

Disney After-Party

After a quick stop at the Govornor's Gala, awards-goers in Downtown L.A. last year migrated to nearby restaurant Otium at the Broad museum, where guests from Disney Entertainment — including included Abbott Elementary's Quinta Brunson, and The Bear's Jeremy Allen White and Ayo Edebiri — celebrated their 37 wins. This year, Disney is toasting 183 Emmy nominations (across FX, ABC, Hulu, Disney+ and more) at the Music Center.

HBO | Max After-Party

The starry party that for years was held at private setup at the Pacific Design Center moved a few years ago to West Hollywood's San Vicente Bungalows, the al fresco private members club. Last year proved to be a Succession reunion — with trophy-toting stars Sarah Snook and Kieran Culkin congregating in the middle — and other guests from shows like The White Lotus and The Last of Us mingling late into the night. This year's bash at the Bungalows is sure to be just as glitzy, given HBO's 91 nominations across 29 programs.

Gifting Suites

Back on a September schedule as well, celebs and industry influencers will receive the latest products and swag at the usual lounges: 

On Friday, Sept. 13, the ECOLUXE 'Endless Summer Festival at a private estate benefits Marley's Mutts Dog Rescue Ranch (with items from ZenoVerse Wellness Group, Inc. KIMITAKE Jewelry, Fayah Athletics and more); and from Sept. 13-14, Natalie's Dubois long-running DPA Pre-Emmy Gift Suite takes over the LUXE Sunset Boulevard hotel from Sept. 13-14. The GBK & MEND Luxury Prime Time Television Awards Lounge is also taking place from Sept. 13-14, gifting over $60,000 in various gifts and trips from a Beverly Hills home.

The Television Academy Foundation's official Emmy Awards Giving Suite will be open to celebrity presenters, nominees and winners Sept. 13, 14 and 15 backstage on rehearsal days and during the live telecast at the Peacock Theater at L.A. LIVE.

La Maison Valmont — the Swiss brand beloved by celebrities and currently used in treatments at Hotel-Bel Air — just opened a Beverly Hills flagship on Via Rodeo Drive that it will be celebrating with a private soiree next week. The Red Carpet Facial, which features the Ionixlight treatment device as well as diamond micro-abrasion, oxygen therapy infusion and microcurrent, is a tightening, non-surgerical alternative to botox.

The Bear culinary producer Courtney Storer — whose brother Chris Storer created the show based on her real-life experiences — has tips for foods you can prepare to pair with Brad Pitt's Miraval Rose, with whom she partnered. Read more here.

Fans of the series can also shop Jono Pandolfi, the beloved handmade dinnerware brand from the East Coast featured on the show, at its 2024 LA Pop-Up running daily from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. at Platform in Culver City through through Oct. 27.
