With the Emmys returning to their fall berth after the strike-delayed 2023 edition in January, the caravan of pre- and post-ceremony celebrations is also back to (almost) normal. The 2024 roster is extensive, though we will likely never see again the scope of the Peak TV-fueled bustling pre-pandemic Emmy party scene, with media consolidation and economic factors trimming the list over the past few years.
This awards season marks the return to the Emmy party circuit for WME after a six-year break and Gersh after 7 years. Hollywood talent agencies only resumed their Emmy festivities in 2022 after skipping 2019 over the standoff with the WGA and 2020 and 2021 due to the pandemic. There were also no agency parties leading to the 2023 Emmys held this past January. Of the two agencies that held soirées in 2022, UTA is back, while CAA is sitting this year out. It’s safe to say we are never going back to the pre-Covid practice of Emmy parties held at the homes of agency leaders, with receptions now taking place exclusively at outside venues.
As Deadline reported earlier this month, BAFTA’s traditional TV Tea Party also is returning after a five-year hiatus (It was canceled in 2022 following the death of Queen Elizabeth). Meanwhile, another Emmy weekend daytime staple, the AMC brunch, is not being held this year as the last of network’s awards juggernauts, Better Call Saul, came to an end. Also off the list this year is the Emmy reception at the Canadian Consulate, with pre-merger Paramount skipping the festivities too.
The Creative Arts Emmys’ big winner, FX, is sticking with its traditional evening-before reception, which is moving to a new location after years at Craft. With the network also expected to do well on Sunday, the Disney Emmy afterparty Sunday at a new Downtown venue will be one of the hottest tickets in town. Netflix, HBO, Apple TV+’s post-ceremony bashes also are back, along with Emmy weekend institutions such as MPTF’s Evening Before and The Governors Ball.
