"There's still a lot to do, but I am distracting myself for a minute," Emmy host Neil Patrick Harris said 24 hours before air on Saturday afternoon at the HBO Luxury Lounge. 2011 Emmy host Jane Lynch was on hand at the 2nd floor of the Four Seasons where Motorola's MotoX and Logitech Ipad keyboards were doled out, along with sunglasses and baby strollers.

Kathleen Rose Perkins, Matt LeBlanc, and Mircea Monroe (who plays Morning Randolph) feted "Episodes" masterminds Jeffrey Klarik and David Crane at a reception for Emmy-nominated writers at the Television Academy on Thursday night. On-camera talent turned up in larger numbers than previous years.
Hugh Bonneville played host in more ways than one. The corduroy suited "Lord Grantham" emceed the evening but also gave his lap to Dave Boone at the post-presentation reception. "How badly do I want to be a butler on that show," said Boone, a double nominee for writing the Tonys and Golden Globes.
It was after 5:00 a.m. for Bonneville and "Downton Abbey" creator Julian Fellowes (right) who had just gotten off a plane from England ("with no bath," Fellowes' wife Emma Joy Kitchener added.) Lesley Nicol (center, who plays Downton chef Mrs. Patmore) has been in L.A. a month, learning to drive here.
The 2013 writers' nominees class photo includes other notables like Writers Branch Governor Pete Hammond (far left), Tracey "Sorry I'm not Tina Fey" Wigfield ( green dress), and Bess Kalb (black dress, 4th from right), one of three writers on Jimmy Kimmel's internal "Team 1" that came up with the "Twerk Fail - Girl Catches Fire" viral prank.
"I love you so much I could gush for an hour...but I won't because everyone wants to get to the bar," Matt LeBlanc said of "Episodes'" Jeffrey Klarik and David Crane. At left, Bonneville looks on as LeBlanc's castmates huddled for the tribute.
Klarik (left) and Crane (right) are the entire "Episodes" writing staff. There is no writer's room. "They asked for 12 and we said we can't do it," Klarik told TheWRAP. "It takes us (18 months) just do 9." (Photo by Kevin Winter/Getty Images.)

It's here. Gabrielle Union, Sanaa Lathan, Russell Simmons, and Nia Long filled new high-end chinese restaurant Hakkasan on Wednesday, the night before the dimly lit eatery and lounge opened the doors in Beverly Hills.
Julianne Hough and Hilary Duff at Hakkasan. The gilded bottles from Wednesday's Vallure vodka launch party will be the only gold there on opening weekend, as there are no Emmy parties breaking in the new spot.
"Suzy Greenberg, our production manager on 'How I Met Your Mother' is a saint because she has given me a lot of free time when I should be at my day job," Emmy host Neil Patrick Harris told TheWRAP after rolling out the red carpet with telecast producer Ken Ehrlich and Academy CEO Bruce Rosenblum on Wednesday morning.
"My transition from Warner Brothers to Legendary really hasn't impacted my role here at the Academy," Rosenblum told TheWRAP on Wednesday. "It's allowed me to continue doing what we're doing. We're having a good time at the Academy."
Good Robots: J.J. Abrams' philanthropic arm sent "Revolution" delegates Tracy Spiridakos, Billy Burke (top right), and Giancarlo Esposito (bottom right) to the United Natinos for the most non-traditional TV premiere of the year on Tuesday night.

Moments after collecting his emmy backstage, Dan Bucatinsky's team said his cell phone was "blowing up." On any other Sunday afternoon, Bucatinsky told me he'd be at his six-year-old son Jonah's soccer game. "I'm putting on my emotional shinguards just to protect me from any potential good or bad news today," he said before the show.
Mark Burnett, who produced the 2011 primetime Emmys, and Roma Downey were just happy to be on the carpet as a couple. "I am not in a panic about whether the show is going to start on time," he told me on the way in. "I'm just hanging our with my wife, enjoying OUR nominations. We've always done this many times separately. It's the first time together for a project."
Michael Emerson and Carrie Preston illustrate the unsynchronized work of most Hollywood couples. While Carrie Preston (far right) was on her way to win for her work on "The Good Wife", her fellow CBS star husband Michael Emerson (still best known as Ben Linus on "Lost") played the role of bag-guy.

"If I can't be at home watching 'Breaking Bad,' at least I can hangout with them," one guest said. 'Bad's" RJ Mitte (one of the top 2-3 most popular people at the party) and Kate Flannery, who is heading to New York for a role on stage.
The scene at the temporarily expanded Cecconi's. They built out over the driveway to expand the space and leave room for....
..a dancefloor. In what should have been the party's Sunday 10:30 p.m. twilight, the fun exploded. Eric Stonestreet and Cat Deeley (not pictured) led the charge in the most prolonged and unselfconscious dance party the characteristically taut restaurant has seen. Sidenote: Brancott Estate wines cohosted as music from Britney Spears and Swedish House Mafia filled the floor.
