THE RUNDOWNConnor Storrie wasn’t at tonight’s Emmys despite being a first-time nominee.He was nominated in the Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series category for his work hosting Saturday Night Live; the award was called during the Creative Arts Emmys.Heated Rivalry’s first season was not eligible for the Emmys.Connor Storrie isn’t nominated for his role in the acclaimed hockey romance Heated Rivalry. Because the series is a Canadian production, it was ineligible for the U.S. Primetime Emmys. Instead, the actor received a nomination in a separate category: Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series for his work hosting Saturday Night Live.That category was already presented during the Creative Arts Emmys on September 6, with the award going to the late Rob Reiner for his appearance on The Bear. So there was an understandable reason Storrie wasn’t on tonight’s red carpet.He attended the Creative Arts Emmys ceremony with his mother, Linda Storrie.Frank Micelotta//Getty ImagesConnor Storrie and his mom, Linda Storrie, at the Creative Arts Emmys on September 6.Storrie is currently filming season 2 of Heated Rivalry in Canada.In May, he opened up about the experience of posing on red carpets in his GQ interview. The outlet asked if it was at all like acting.“I think being on the red carpet doesn’t feel like an extension of acting,” he began. “I’ll be honest, I’m a very visual person before acting really took off. I’ve had a million passions, one of them being clown, but also one of them being photography. I’ve always just loved the aesthetics of fashion photography and editorial. So I really enjoyed that element. And so it feels like an extension of photography. It feels like live photography.“I think there is an element of acting,” he continued. “You do feel different in different clothes. Tonight, I’m going to be feeling super sleek. I’m going to be feeling really strong and powerful. And sometimes you want to feel rich and relaxed.”He laughed, adding, “I think it taps into my visual sensibility of liking photography and fashion. James [Yardley], my stylist, is really great because he’s cut from the same cloth of seeing things as a full picture and adapting these characters or these versions of myself and being like, ‘Okay, what does this make us feel? What’s the situation this is for?’”
