Cast of 'Modern Family' and Other Winners Not Invited to Jon Hamm and Amy Poehler's Losers After Party
The cast from "Modern Family," "Breaking Bad" and "Saturday Night Live" will not be invited to an after party even if they have won at the Emmy Awards 2013. The reason - this is a special party for the losers of Emmy Awards only!
Actors Jon Hamm and Amy Poehler have actually teamed up to co-host an after-party just for the night's losers.
"Mad Men" Hamm is nominated in the category for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series for his portrayal of Don Draper in "Mad Men." However the 42-year-old is not expecting to win after having missed out on the trophy five times in previous years.
The duo said they came up with an exclusive idea because every year the winners get to celebrate but losers don't have anywhere to go.
"We figured that the winners get celebrated enough so we thought it was about time that the losers get celebrated," Hamm told E online. "Parks and Recreation" actress Amy Poehler is nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress In A Comedy Series.
"And Poehler and I are friends from a long time ago and every year when we would lose the Emmy we would kind of wink at each other and call each other loser for the rest of the night."
The idea struck the duo after Kristen Wiig hosted a grand party after last year's Emmys at her hotel.
"We called it the Losers Lounge because nobody that was there won and it kind of stuck," Hamm said. "We were like, 'That was a really fun party. We should do that again, but we should do it bigger and better and invite our friends who aren't going to win either and we'll have a good time with it.'"
The duo, who also both lost out on awards last year, said they will welcome any Emmy winners who wish to attend their party but they will be required to leave their statues at the door and donate $1,000 to a charity of their choice.
"You have to actually check your Emmy at the door and donate a $1,000 dollars to a charity," Hamm's longtime girlfriend Jennifer Westfeld said.
"We might end up doing a lot for humanity on Sunday night," she added.
Who do you think will be other losers interested in the party?
