3:35 p.m.: Gorham finally arrives. He looks very nice. Who is he wearing? “Gucci, he’s an up and coming designer. I’m helping him out.” Right behind him is his “Ugly Betty” castmate Michael Urie, who plays Vanessa Williams’ kiss-ass assistant Marc. This was also his first time at the Emmys. “I couldn’t even get into the parties last year,” he says. Who’s he looking forward to seeing? Kiefer Sutherland. “I’m a huge ‘24’ fan.”

3:37 p.m.: Third snub of the night: Hayden Panettiere. She’s waiting for Debra Messing, who is fanning herself with one of those green “ET” personal fans on the TV Guide platform, to finish her interview. Messing doesn’t look happy at all.

3:40 p.m.: “Grey’s Anatomy’s” Chandra Wilson drops by to talk about her nomination and how so far her day “has gone according to plan. I’m a planner,” she says. When asked if there were going to be any exciting guest stars on “Grey’s” this season, she said: “Yes, he’ll be coming and she’ll be coming, too.”

“Ugly Betty’s” Ana Ortiz and Fererra embrace. Fererra looks stunning in an indigo blue form-fitting chiffon gown and Ortiz tells her so.

In the meantime, another “Ugly Betty” star — they’re all over the place — has been standing next to me for a few minutes. Rebecca Romijn and her new hubby Jerry O’Connell are awaiting their turn at TV Guide. She went for old Hollywood glamour and is wearing a pink flapper dress from the ‘20s. He looks bored to tears. Maybe it’s the heat.

4:00 p.m.: Tina Fey of “30 Rock” says that it has taken her “five years to get emotionally ready” for her Emmy nomination. She’s also doing her part for the environment by wearing a dress made of “natural fibers.”

Robert Duvall is standing at attention in the middle of the carpet perusing the scene. He seems particularly taken with Rinna’s backside.

4:10 p.m.: It’s crunch time and there’s this big, booming announcement for everyone to please find their seats because "their seats can’t find them." No one stirs. Late-comers like Heidi Klum and her husband Seal, Hugh Laurie, Omar Epps and his pregnant wife, Steve Carell, Wanda Sykes and Julia Louis-Dreyfus don’t seem to hear the announcement and are all talking among themselves. Denis Leary is impatiently awaiting his turn at TV Guide. They take too long and he bolts. Kelsey Grammer is sweating profusely but he takes the time to chat with everyone.
