Dancing With The Stars Cast Supports Derek Hough At The 2013 Primetime Emmy Awards (Photos, etc)
As previously reported, Dancing With The Stars Derek Hough won an Emmy last night for “Best Choreography”. Right before the Choreography Award was given out, he helped to choreograph and danced in a big “Luck Be A Lady/Get Lucky” production number right before it. Above you can see him pictured with Allison Holker. If you missed it, Pure Derek Hough has a video posted of it. It was spectacular to say the least and made the other performances of the night look mild in comparison.
Also, some of the other cast members of Dancing With The Stars were seen walking the Red Carpet and in the audience supporting Derek. Below you can see photos of Brooke Burke-Charvet and Carrie Ann Inaba. What do you think of these dresses?
Bruno Tonioli was also seen. He even had tears in his eyes when they announced Derek had won. So cute!
Derek’s friend and former Dancing With The Stars partner Maria Menounos graced the red carpet. Before the show began she was tweeting her support for Derek. I just had to post this picture being I think Maria was the best Dressed Woman of the night!!
What a night and one we won’t soon forget!! Lots more photos and Derek Hough coverage at
Zimbio Pictures and Pure Derek Hough.
Lastly, and wrapping up this post, below are some tweets from the cast (and fellow cast members from the past) congratulating Derek after he won his Emmy!! So cute! To you Derek Hough!!!xx

Yay!! Congratulations again DEREK~~~ Love that photo of him and Allison!!
It was an incredible moment. His timeline was filled with so much love and support by so many fans in the US and worldwide, stars, and his fellow pros from DWTS!!! He trended multiple times as well.
The picture of Bruno says it all – this has been a long time coming! Finally, a choreographer from DWTS takes home the Emmy! So happy it was Derek! I shed a tear too..
Woohoo!!!!

Woohoo!!!!
Trust me, I was crying as well. Happiness, joy, emotion, nerves…add everything ! :))… This man is outstanding! He loves, he creates, he gives…he does it all! …and I hope he receives our love too!
And he got to have a dance off with Dean Norris from Breaking Bad. He was just having a great night. AND he admitted to Billy Bush that he is no longer single. Wow. That’s very un-Derek – it must be serious. (Waves at Nina’s fans). 🙂
First off, again a very big congratulations to Derek for a much deserved win!
Agree, Maria looks stunning.
I’ve really enjoyed the extremely in depth coverage from Vogue and PH. I didn’t watch the show, and am so glad I could go over to PDH to see the big dance and to Derek’s acceptance speech. You guys worked way overtime on all of that stuff, I know it was a labor of love.
Loved all the support from his co workers past and present. I felt happy to see all the supportive ones from Val as I guess I sometimes buy into the story that there are hard feelings. It seemed he was the most actively tweeting positive things both before, during and after and said how inspired he was and had to get to work.
I love to think they all inspire each other to excellence from which we the viewers benefit.
I know many wish the show would go back to the basics, just teach ballroom, present it straight up. But for me, I would lose interest in that pretty quickly, even with inspiring stories and compelling journeys. I don’t mind that some of the pros approach it that way but I am one who loves the new dances, and love when the whole performance is very entertaining. Not props for the sake of props, but interesting little mini shows with each dance. I think Derek has a vision for that kind of production like no other, but Sharna sure seems to get it, as does Mark and Karina imo and I believe Val does as well but feels torn by wanting to stand with the “traditionalists” and wanting grow and innovate with all his creativity. This is all just my uneducated opinion. I understand that there are many valid opinions about what people want the show to be like.
Hope there are more Emmys to follow for dwts pros.
haha – so true Heidi. (I’ve really had enough of some of them – as well as the “Menough” shippers – they actually seem to believe that he said it because he’s dating Maria).
Even more irritating is the comments I’ve seen of people saying SYTYCD never wins… haha. yeah right! take a look at the past winners people!
Anyway – back to Derek. 😉
So happy that he finally won – no one deserves it more and even all his fellow nominees looked overjoyed that he won.
The final icing on the cake would have been if Tim had won the hosting category last week – just imagine it… Tom handing Derek him Emmy! Tha would have been even more epic!
forgot to add that I think Maria looks stunning too. I like Brooke’s dress as well – not so much CAI’s.
It is too bad that Nina could not go to the Emmys with Derek and Julianne, so her “fans'” heads would explode more than they already are. I shudder with any mention of Billy Bush, but he’s the perfect gossip hound to make public admissions to regarding personal lives since he’ll get it spread FAST. Bush lives for that kind of thing, almost as much as Wet Paint does.
Maria does look beautiful. She’s been a very good friend to Derek since they were on DWTS together and vice versa. Zendaya Coleman, Katherine Jenkins and Jennifer Grey also tweeted congratulations.
Quite a few past contestants has tweeted the congratulations to Derek – I’ve seen tweets from some of his past partners like Jennie, Ricki, Maria, Jennifer and Shawn but also from people like Kirstie Alley, Carson Cressley and Lisa Vanderpump.
There are tweets from Tom, Lindsay, Witney and Julian as well
Wow, Maria looks flawless in that gown.
It’s great to see so many DWTS alums as well as current celebs and pros sending their congratulations. I wonder if Derek managed to get any sleep last night?
I am overjoyed for Derek. I am happy for DWTS as well. I am glad that, finally, he’s been given this recognition. I believe this will spur him to bring out more creative numbers for us to enjoy.
I’m also happy that the DWTS cast congratulated and showed their support for him. I’m looking forward to more Emmy wins on choreography (& other categories) not only for Derek, but other pros on the show as well.
As for Derek & Allison’s pic, wow! Perfect! Maria’s gorgeous as always. Love Brooke’s dress. I don’t quite know what to make of CAI’s dress. Her outfits on DWTS are way better that this one.
Now, I’m excited for Monday’s show. How are they going to introduce Derek now? 😉
Congratulations to our Derek. Yes, it’s VERY un-Derek like to admit that he’s no longer single. Kinda hard to deny it when he tweeted on Friday that he was in love…lol.
I liked CAI’s dress. Thrilled that lots of the cast tweeted out congrats to him. Noticed Maks and Tony didn’t though. Maria looks smokin as always! 2 MILLION dollar necklace on her neck I heard. WOW!!
Congrats to Derek 🙂
I agree, very unlike Derek….
Kelly, to give Derek credit, he DID follow up that tweet with a sweet photo of his pup Romey, albeit several hours later. Intentional or not (I’m thinking both…) he definitely riled them up…..
And I think their heads are exploding very well without Nina being there with Derek and Jules! It’s like a long, slow explosion….. Or, more like Old Faithful, with the continual and predicted explosion of steam.
Ugh. I’m so done with shippers. Nina’s, Menough, hell, even the Shawnough shippers are driving me nuts.
HUGE congratulations to Derek, though! As irritating and immature as people on Twitter can be, it makes me smile to see Derek with his head up. He’s finally gotten his well-deserved Emmy, and he’s letting it speak for itself. He truly is a class act.
So Derek’s Emmy–he won for the Box, the dance with Brilyn + the dance with Shawn J. instead of for Heart Cry, right? Whatever it was, what a fabulous moment, so thrilled for him. IMO he should’ve had several Emmy’s already he has done so many remarkable things over the years. Is it true that except for Brooke, CAI and Bruno the other attendees from DWTS were production and makeup ppl, none of the other dancers? I was also a little surprised his parents weren’t there.
Anyway just so wonderful that he made history, had a big live number on the show and then THE WIN. It was all so perfect , thought I was just dreaming for a minute!
No, he won for the box and the mambo and Quickstep. Allison was with him on Heart Cry and Brilynn’s Dance.
Also, you can’t just go to the Emmy’s, you have to have a ticket. DWTS probably gets so many tickets for production, plus if you were nominated at the Creatives. I think Derek only gets TWO tickets, one for himself and the other he clearly gave to Julianne.
OK thanks-I’d forgotten Allison had helped with Brilynn. Also I heard Sofia Vergara on Red Carpet talking about bringing 20 family members+last year too, so I was wondering.
