Inside the Hottest Emmy After-Parties

Following the 76th Primetime Emmy Awards on Sunday, Sept. 15, guests arriving to West Hollywood's San Vicente Bungalows for the HBO | Max after-party — which included talent from series True Detective: Night Country, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Hacks, The Gilded Age, The White Lotus and The Sympathizer, responsible for six Emmy wins — received caviar bumps and Champagne.

Once inside the indoor-outdoor private members club, separate rooms and nooks offered a variety of treats. Right off the entrance on the lower lever, Chain — BJ Novak's concept with Michelin-starred chef Tim Hollingsworth that recreates chain restaurant favorites — served curlies and caviar, as well as cheddar bay beurre monte?-poached lobster biscuits. Another room offered mozzarella and prosciutto di parma from La Morra Pizzeria, while upstairs, guests indulged in a Sushi Handroll Bar (with salmon, tuna and vegan options from Uoichiba) and a sake tasting with sommelier Kerry Tamura.

Emmys decorated the section designed to Hacks — which scored a huge victory in being named outstanding comedy. Not only was Jean Smart celebrating a lead comedy actress win, but also a recent birthday (Sept. 13) — and her colleagues presented her with a cake. She shared a hug with friend Molly Shannon.

Hacks co-creators and co-showrunners Paul W. Downs (who also co-stars and was nominated in the supporting actor category), Lucia Aniello and Jen Statsky, were in high spirits after their win for comedy series writing. What's next up for Downs? "Films," he told Los Angeles.

Having changed from her pink Louis Vuitton to a chic white dress, co-star Hannah Einbinder — Los Angeles magazine's June cover star — sat in a back table and joined the team in celebrating late into the night.

Meanwhile, Jodie Foster did laps upstairs with her statue in tow — fielding congrats for scoring her first-ever Emmy for her work in HBO’s True Detective: Night Country. John Oliver and Alex Edelman also toted Emmys, while Conan O'Brien caught up with Casey Bloys, Connie Britton sipped cocktails from a table with her husband John Britton and Christine Baranski glistened in gold.

Baby Reindeer's Tom Goodman-Hill turned up at the end and dove into a pizza with friends. When did he realize he had a hit on his hand? "After two days," he said, noting how everything he referenced in his speech — about going through hard times — was true and reflected in the series.

Curb Your Enthusiasm's Larry David made a cameo, while Los Angeles February cover star J.B. Smoove hit the dance floor with wife Shahidah Omar and let loose to to DJ M.O.S' tunes. The DJ teamed with Hollywood piano bar Tramp Stamp Granny’s for late-night karoake.

On their way out, guests passed a wood-fired pizza pop-up from La Morra Pizzeria at the exit — offering a choice of three pies (plain, potato or spicy sausage) that they were able to take home.

Meanwhile, over in Downtown Los Angeles, the Music Center was transformed into a swanky indoor-outdoor bash with multiple food venues serving guests at The Walt Disney Company party — where the company celebrated a record-breaking 60 Emmy awards across its brands and studios (including FX, Hulu and Disney+). FX received 36 awards, the most of any brands and the most in FX's history.

Live music, a Disney backdrop and espresso martinis greeted partygoers who ascended the stairs into the whimsical venue adorned with florals. Bars offered specialty cocktails with Johnnie Walker Blue Label while servers passed bites (from sushi to sweet corn pasta to burgers inspired by The Bear culinary producer Courtney Storer's recipes.).

Guests were delighted to see food booths from some of their favorite local eateries — such as thick squares with Burrata from Apollonia's Pizzeria, vegetable curry and Southern-Thai fried chicken from Anajak Thai and outside, warm, freshly-baked chocolate chip cookies from West Adams bakery Fleurs et Sel (which also packed bags to-go).

A band got the crowd moving as Emmy show-goers, nominees and winners migrated over from the nearby Peacock Theater. Heidi Klum sparkled by the bar, while Derek Hough and wife Hayley circulated and the cast of Abbott Elementary (Sheryl Lee Ralph, Lisa Ann Walter and Tyler Williams) hung together at their table.

Jimmy Kimmel made laps, to the attention of fans — and Fargo's Jon Hamm also caught eyes when he came over the Disney exec table.

Ron Howard passed by to greet Disney's Dana Walden, as did The Bear winners Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Jeremy Allen White and a glowing Liza Colón-Zayas, who became the first Latina to win Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series.

With 11 Emmys, The Bear topped its record of 10 comedy wins for one season, from last year. After FX's Shōgun won outstanding drama — and proved this year's most-winning series, with 19 awards that set a new TV Academy record for any show in a single year — the cast and crew were likewise in celebratory spirits all night.

Hiroyuki Sanada and Anna Sawai also became the first actors of Asian descent to win Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series and Outstanding Lead Actress, respectively.
