HBO

CIRCA 55

Neither the rain nor a light haul of wins could dampen the mood at HBO’S gathering. The usual array of stars and industry heavyweights made their way through the human traffic jam that snaked around the Hilton lobby to join HBO chief Richard Plepler, Warnermedia CEO John Stankey and others in a hearty toast to a big year to come for HBO (four words: “Game of Thrones” finale). Highlights of the starry tableau included Pete Davidson dodging raindrops in the outdoor area and Regina King and Tiffany Haddish in full bear-hug mode.
