Stars Kick Off the Emmy Celebrations!

The Emmys are right around the corner (on Monday, to be exact), and the nominees are already getting into the party spirit with star-studded preshow bashes. Michelle Dockery, Julie Bowen, and Aaron Paul toasted to their successes at Audi's Emmys week fete in LA on Thursday night. They were joined by a pregnant Zoe Saldana, who was fresh off her ALS ice bucket challenge, which she transferred to her husband, Marco Perego, because she is currently with child. On Saturday, the stars were out again for two bashes — one for Variety and one for Entertainment Weekly. The weekend fetes brought Lena Dunham together with Kerry Washington as well as the cast of Orange Is the New Black and many more TV stars. Of course, there will be plenty of Emmys fun leading up the big award show, and you can get in on the excitement (and snag a chance to win $1,000) by taking part in our 2014 Emmys Ballot!
