Amazon Prime Video hosted its Emmy Phase 2 FYC Fest this weekend with three different events in the Los Angeles area on Friday, August 12, through Sunday, August 14, to celebrate and promote its 30 Emmy award nominations. The event on Sunday took place in the city of West Hollywood, at the Pacific Design Center Plaza, located at 8686 Melrose Avenue. The WeHo event attracted a large crowd with a long line that curled from San Vicente Boulevard to Melrose Avenue and was up to two hours long.
