Emmy Awards - Los Angeles Hotels .com

Each September in LA, glamorous stars flock to the Primetime Emmy Awards for a shimmering evening filled with prestigious awards and high-profile after-parties. Star-gazing visitors have long been drawn to the Emmys' red carpet strut, where television's heavyweights give interviews and pose for photographs before entering the Leonard H. Goldenson Theatre to receive accolades in categories including Outstanding Comedy Series, Directing for a Drama Series, Writing in a Comedy Series, Lead Actor/Actress in a Drama Series, and many more.

The Emmy Award is considered the television equivalent of the Oscar, and is characterized by a statue of a winged woman holding an atom aloft, which is a symbol of the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences' goal to uplift both art and science. Fans line up hours (some even days) in advance to stake out choice territory along the red carpet, where they can best view their favorite actors and actresses, and maybe--if they're lucky--grab an autograph or two.
