‘Friday Night Lights’ star Connie Britton was mobbed at the sinks in the first floor ladies room at the Nokia Theatre at L.A. Live before the Emmy Awards ceremony began. Women kept approaching her as she washed her hands, proffering compliments to the actress, who was wearing a strapless, rust-colored gown with a blond bodice, her strawberry blond hair long and flowing. ‘Connie, you look gorgeous!’ they cooed.

‘Connie we hope you win tonight!’ one woman said. The actress replied: ‘I’m going to stand here all night,’ adding emphatically, ‘I AM NOT MOVING.’
