The 68th Emmy Awards, the annual honors of the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, will kick-off this Sunday night at 7 p.m. The ceremony, hosted by comedian Jimmy Kimmel, is a star-studded affair and appointment viewing for fans of entertainment and followers of the celebrity set.
And a glamorous celebration deserves an equally elegant viewing location. To that end, we’ve identified five homes that are fine fits for hosting an Emmys party.
Each of these properties, currently on the market, are located in Los Angeles, home to the Emmy Awards, and offer aesthetics in keeping with the traditions of Tinsel Town.
