This year, 2011, the Emmys nominees who came in to the Nokia Theatre to rehearse for the Sunday extravaganza were flooded with gift suites from HP’s TouchSmart Gift Lounge, where they were given notebook computers and a sizeable donation each, to the Academy’s not-for-profit foundation.
That was not all: nominees for the 2011 Emmys also took home all sorts of other goodies, like actor David Boreanaz of “Bones”, who came in with his family and ended up taking home designer sunglasses, Nautica watches and lots more. The goodies were raining down as stars like LL Cool J, veteran actress Cloris Leachman and Emmy-winner Loretta Devine graced the occasion to add a truly red-carpet feel to the evening.
The guests were completely pampered as they had the option of either lounging in luxury with the other nominees at the HBO Luxury Lounge or take a quick mini-spa break courtesy L’Oreal. They could sip drinks that were named after HBO shows like “True Blood”, and in the process bag goodies like headphones, handbags and even baby strollers for the fortunate babies. Though the takings were high, the best rewards are yet to come – on Sunday at the Emmys 2011, where only a few of the nominees will get to take home the most coveted goodies of all: the Emmy Awards themselves!
