AMC’s Emmys After Party at the Chateau Marmont was the place to be last night after the network’s top wins, Bryan Cranston for Actor in a Drama (Breaking Bad) and Mad Men honored for Drama Series and Writing for a Drama, at the awards show. Party goers sipped champagne and down cups of pommes frites as they anxiously awaited the arrivals of the coveted Emmys along with their owners. One of the early celebrity attendees, singer Sarah McLachlan fresh from the Emmys performance of her hit “I Will Remember You” during the moving memorial tribute portion of the show (we lost so many wonderful talents in such a short period of time-from Michael Jackson to Farrah Fawcett to DJ AM and Patrick Swayze as well as several others), was having a great time-surrounded by friends and couch dancing to the DJ spun music. Stars from NBC’s The Office came to have fun, including Melora Hardin who chatted up Mad Men star January Jones, and svelte Kate Flannery who looked amazing and revealed to me that she had been on a pre-Emmys diet aka the Zone. Reality host Emmy winner Jeff Probst (who had loosened his tie by this point) arrived with a friend in tow who kept having to move out of the way of flashing bulbs pointing at Jeff.

Steadfast couple Michael J. Fox, who nabbed his fifth Emmy at the Creative Arts Emmy Awards presentation this year for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series as Dwight in FX’s Rescue Me and a presenter at last night’s show, and wife Tracy Pollan arrived at the party only to be stopped by admiring fans who stopped to talk to the loving duo, who had changed in more casual party attire, every few feet. Mad Men star Jon Hamm chatted at the cozy inside bar with fellow co-star John Slattery while girlfriend and actress Jennifer Westfeldt was never far from his side. Guest Actor in a Comedy Series Winner Justin Timberlake remained down the street at the Bar Marmont, and left out the back door. Actor Kevin Pollack chatted with friends on the outdoor patio of the Chateau, and several young actor types kept the party mood flowing while ordering rounds of tequila shots for anyone within earshot.
