LOS ANGELES (AP) - Kevin Costner, Amy Poehler, Bryan Cranston, Zooey Deschanel, Julia Louis-Dreyfus and other Emmy-nominated actors celebrated their success at a series of parties around Hollywood.
Most began their evening at the Emmy Performers nominee reception on Friday at the Pacific Design Centre in Los Angeles. That's where the nominees received certificates acknowledging their acting achievements.
The nominated actors posed for a class photo, with many proudly holding their certificates above their heads.
