Constance Zimmer, Rhea Seehorn, Sepideh Moafi, Dale Dickey and more kicked off the Emmys weekend by celebrating the women behind TV’s biggest hits with TheWrap.
The nominees gathered at the Fairmont Century Plaza for a Thursday evening event Celebrating Women of Emmy Season, presented by TheWrap, the Geena Davis Institute and the Midlife Collective. The event, which was sponsored by Addyi and Ketel One Vodka, united the nominees to champion and reframe the cultural narrative around women in midlife and beyond, honoring every woman nominated this Emmy season.
Over three dozen nominees were in attendance, including Moafi and fellow “The Pitt” co-stars Tal Anderson, Brittany Allen and Tina Ivlev, as well as EP Simran Baidwan and writer Valerie Chu.
Zimmer, who enlivened the gathering by jumping in the rooftop pool while exclaiming “women over 50 are f–king badass,” was joined by fellow nominees Seehorn and Dickey, as well as “Hacks” actress Lauren Weedman, “Abbott Elementary” writer Brittani Nichols, “The Bear’s” Courtney Storer, “Margo’s Got Money Troubles” author and EP Rufi Thorpe and nominated directors Mary Lou Belli, Salli Richardson-Whitfield and Hanelle M. Culpepper, among others.
Other notable industry guests included “The Bear” star Abby Elliott, actress Elaine Hendrix, actress and director Zoe Lister-Jones, “Nobody Wants This” star Jackie Tohn, “The Madison” actress Elle Chapman, “Dancing With the Stars” host Julianne Hough and actress Angelique Cabral.
