Emmy Wards: Best and Worst Dressed List

Presented by the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, the annual Primetime Emmy Awards honor the best in primetime television programming.

This year’s event is set to take place at the Nokia Theatre, Los Angeles, US on September 18, 2011 and hosted by actress Jane Lynch. Before the show, big winners of the 2011 Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards have been announced, including Gwyneth Paltrow with her guest role on “Glee” and Justin Timberlake with his “Saturday Night Live” host.
