The International Emmy Awards: A Who’s Who Of “Why Them?”

by Liz Black

Before we discuss the absolute randomness of just who attended the International Emmy Awards last night in New York, let’s first discuss how amazing an un-Peggy-Olsen-like Elisabeth Moss looked last night at the ceremony. The actress is a far cry from her dowdy copywriter self on Mad Men and we love the new long hair. We really can’t get over how gorgeous she is here.

So while it makes sense for Moss, star of an Emmy-winning program, to attend the international version of the awards, some of the other attendees are a curiosity. Jason Priestley served as the evening’s host for starters, which is weird, and Peter Facinelli and Melissa Joan Hart were presenters. Sure, they’re all stars in their own Twilight-y, Melissa And Joey-ish ways, but what a random crowd. Simon Cowell was also on hand to receive the International Emmy Directorate Award.
