Variety‘s Emmy studio returned this year, with many contenders stopping by the Los Angeles studio. From the men on the small screen, including Kelsey Grammer (“Frasier”), Josh Hartnett (“Black Mirror”), Ramon Rodriguez (“Will Trent”) and Tom Hiddleston (“Loki), to the powerful women dominating, like Karen Pittman (“The Morning Show”), Renée Elise Goldsberry (“Girls5eva”) and Brie Larson (“Lessons in Chemistry”), the studio was filled with contenders.

Each of these portraits first ran in our special Emmy issues, available now.
