"Boardwalk Empire" captured a leading seven trophies at the creative arts Emmy Awards, with Gwyneth Paltrow and Justin Timberlake earning TV comedy series guest-star honors.
Paltrow, recognized for "Glee," and Timberlake, a winner for hosting "Saturday Night Live," were no-shows at Saturday's ceremony for technical and other achievements. It preceded the main Sept. 18 Emmy show.
"She couldn't be here because it's happy hour at the Starlight Room," presenter and "Community" actress Alison Brie joked about Paltrow's absence.
Timberlake received his award for hosting a "Saturday Night Live" episode and shared in another Emmy for co-writing his opening monologue, in which he crooned about not wanting to sing.
"Justin Timberlake really wanted to be here but we said no, they want to see the writers," ''SNL" head writer Seth Myers told the audience.
"Boardwalk Empire," which stars Steve Buscemi as a Prohibition-era politico in Atlantic City, N.J., earned trophies for categories including art direction, picture editing and makeup.
Loretta Devine was honored as best guest actress in a drama series for "Grey's Anatomy," with Paul McCrane earning the category's best actor award for "Harry's Law."
"America's Most Wanted" host John Walsh received the Governors Award, and said backstage that he had received offers from Fox, which dropped the show, and CNN to do news commentary. He turned them down.
He'll be hosting a new version of the show on the Lifetime network and hopes to expand internationally.
Howie Mandel teased next week's Emmy Awards, saying: "This is great. These are the creative Emmys. Unlike the Emmys next week, where there's no creativity at all."
HBO earned a leading 15 awards Saturday, followed by PBS with 10, Fox with nine, CBS with seven and NBC with five. ABC won three awards, behind the four each for Discovery Channel and History.
The creative arts ceremony will air Sept. 17 on ReelzChannel, which earned three awards for the controversial miniseries "The Kennedys." The 63rd annual prime-time Emmy ceremony, with "Glee" star Jane Lynch as host, will air live the next night on Fox.
