Emmy Anticipation - Pre-Awards Parties Began Early In The Week
VARIETY - EMMY CENTRAL
BAFTA/LA's Saturday afternoon tea party on the rooftop of L'Ermitage drew both Brit and American Emmy nominees.
"A few years ago some members decided the T for TV in BAFTA was not recognized," said Neil Stiles, BAFTA/LA deputy chair and Variety topper. "There's tremendous talent in Britain. 'Downton Abbey' is English, but Midwest viewers don't know Archie Panjabi or Hugh Laurie are not Yankees. All they know is that they're good."
Besides Panjabi and BBC America's Richard De Croce guests included Guy Pearce, Mary Lynn Rajskub, Wendie Malick, and cast members from "Modern Family" and "The Office."
