Allison Williams

Allison Williams' HBO series, Girls, is nominated for best comedy. "It's the second time around," she told THR of the Emmys. "I know a little more what to expect. I have a little Girls pride on my fingers, so I'm pretty excited," she added, referring to her manicure.

Gilligan said it was "amazing" to be nominated as his show was ending. "We're even luckier to have one more shot at it. Because for it to end, to go off the air, in the midst of this season 5A, as we call it, excitement is great," he said. "It's just wonderful. It's the cherry on top."

Tina Fey and Allison Williams

The two funny ladies struck a pose inside THR's Emmy Nominees party. Williams told THR of her pre-Emmy ritual: "I'm staying at a hotel that has incredible truffle fries. It's now a tradition that we order the truffle fries before Emmys. What else? It's usually just music and chaos. It's really fun. It's dress up and then hanging out with people I love. What could be better than that?"

You know what, honestly, it's just a matter of calming down, getting excited to see everybody, and for me I feel so lucky to get to go. It doesn't happen to everybody."

Padma Lakshmi

The Top Chef host and judge struck a pose for photographers. "This nomination is about the people you don't see in front of the camera.
