TV Stars Reveal Their Pre-Award Show Rituals Ahead Of The Emmys

"Cold beer, really good potato chips."

Showtime held its annual Emmys Eve Party at the Sunset Tower Terrace in West Hollywood, California, on Saturday night, and The Huffington Post was there to take in the star-studded scene. When speaking with some of the network’s biggest talent as they prepped for the 68th annual Primetime Emmy Awards, we asked them about their pre-award show rituals.

Here’s what they had to say:

"My husband [William H. Macy] and I, if we're not staying at a hotel, which is fun, I go for a run in the morning."

"I just go and try to get something fresh and try to look good on camera and try to increase my following. That's it. That's the most honest thing."

"Cold beer, really good potato chips -- a big bucket of those are a good way to start and finish."
Hank Azaria, "Ray Donovan"

"I'm not around them enough to have any pre-show rituals, but you just try to psyche yourself up and not make too many faux pas with whoever you run into."
Jon Voight, "Ray Donovan"

"I have three nieces and six grand nieces and one of the grand nieces gave me several pairs of socks to wear and I will wear one of those pairs of socks tomorrow. They have fishes on them ... something crazy. And I will wear those socks for her."

"I don't have any rituals. My thing is just seeing some of the people and just bumping into the people I admire and that I never met. I'm just such a fan."
