During the first two hours of the 68th Primetime Emmy Awards, we saw names like Priyanka Chopra, Tom Hiddleston, Kerry Washington, and Terrence Howard distribute trophies.
We saw Sterling K. Brown, Sarah Paulson, and Regina King win those trophies.
As viewers, however, our perspective was limited to that which appeared on ABC’s broadcast. Shortly after these exciting Emmy Awards moments, ABC also provided media outlets with a backstage look at the premiere TV awards show.
The backstage gallery follows:
