Gold House Honors 78th Emmy Nominees at One House Toast

Gold House, a cultural platform dedicated to shaping global opportunity, celebrated the multicultural nominees of the 78th Emmy Awards at its annual One House Toast to the Emmys on September 10, 2026. The event, held at the Four Seasons Hotel Los Angeles at Beverly Hills, brought together over 200 creatives and artists, including nominees from popular shows such as BEEF, Bridgerton, The Pitt, and Abbott Elementary.

The evening honored the achievements of diverse talent, with Netflix's BEEF leading the nominations with 16 nods, including executive producer, writer, and director Lee Sung Jin, as well as Charles Melton and Youn Yuh-jung. Sepideh Moafi, who plays a pivotal role in The Pitt, became the first Iranian woman to receive an Emmy nomination. The cast of The Pitt, including Kristin Villanueva and Amielynn Abellera, also received recognition.

Notable attendees included industry leaders and creators such as Simran Baidwan, Kitao Sakurai, Sang Kim, Seoyeon Jang, Dante Basco, Dolly de Leon, Will Yun Lee, and many others. The event featured a custom portrait studio sponsored by Chase Sapphire Reserve for Business, an exclusive photo experience with the all-new Genesis GV90 from Genesis Motor America, and a BEEF-themed food-and-beverage experience provided by WME.

Gold House's Executive Chairman and CEO, Bing Chen, expressed gratitude for the event, stating, "Gold House has been a significant part of my journey and BEEF's journey. These events are not just fun; they are places of true community. Having people here to support makes a difference. You never know who you'll run into or what conversation turns into what. I'm really grateful that we get to do this and do it together."

The One House Toast aligns with Gold House's commitment to advancing Asian Pacific representation in entertainment. This year's celebration builds on the organization's Gold List for Film and Gold List for TV, which honor Asian Pacific excellence. Gold House continues to empower and enable authentic portrayals of Asian Pacific and multicultural voices through its platform, including the recently launched Gold House Studios, which provides development and financing for Asian Pacific-led films, series, and IP.

Gold House's efforts underscore the importance of diverse representation in the entertainment industry. As Bing Chen noted, "In a week when several whistleblowers are warning that new technologies can decimate our species by the end of the decade, it is hybridized, undefinable-by-a-single-genre art like BEEF that reminds us of what most makes us human, of our fallacies, and our right to exist. On platforms and spaces, when people try to flatten us into one thing, it is polymathical, multi-skilled creators who don't just write, who don't just produce, who don't just direct, but do it all to create historic pieces of art that remind us what it takes to get this far. And it is in our own lives that we're reminded that when things get toughest, we take our broken hearts and turn them into art. That reminds us why we are still here, and why we must stay."

The event not only celebrated the achievements of the nominees but also highlighted the ongoing efforts of Gold House to support and promote diverse voices in the entertainment industry.
