Hollywood’s biggest TV stars, including Kristen Bell, Seth Rogen, and Adam Brody, kicked off the 2025 Emmy Awards festivities with a series of star-studded pre-parties ahead of the Sept. 14 ceremony, hosted by comedian Nate Bargatze at Los Angeles’ Peacock Theater.
The Emmy buzz was electric as television’s finest gathered to celebrate in style. Kristen Bell and Adam Brody, stars of Nobody Wants This, brought their undeniable chemistry to Netflix’s 2025 Emmy’s Toast, honoring the show’s three nominations: Outstanding Comedy Series, Outstanding Lead Actor, and Outstanding Lead Actress. (Check out the full list of 2025 Emmy nominations here.)
Kristen, 45, shared her excitement on Instagram on July 15, posting, “Finding out I was nominated for an Emmy! And @erinfoster too!!!” alongside a series of shocked reaction photos.
Meanwhile, Seth Rogen partied with stars like Brian Tyree Henry, Tom Sandoval, and Phaedra Parks at MPTF’s 19th Annual Evening Before at Century Park and NBCUniversal’s Emmy Nominees and SNL50 Toast at Sunset Tower Hotel. The Freaks and Geeks alum, nominated for nine Emmys over the years, is up for four awards this year for The Studio: Outstanding Comedy Series, Outstanding Directing, Outstanding Writing, and Outstanding Lead Actor.
Seth and producer Evan Goldberg shared a humorous joint statement with E! News after their nominations: “What the heck?! We never saw this coming. Thanks to our parents, agents, publicists, preschool teachers, managers, assistants, The Television Academy, and Apple… or do we only say that if we win? Oh no, we’re already messing this up!”
Other pre-Emmy bashes, like the Gersh 2025 Emmy Party, saw stars like Anna Faris, Justin Theroux, Jacob Elordi, and Gwendoline Christie mingling in anticipation of TV’s biggest night.
