Britton unfortunately had to miss the AHS shenanigans as she had to travel back early to New York for hew new TV miniseries Zero Day. A rep for the star confirmed to EW that her trip was brought forward due to the forecasted snowstorm reported to hit the East Coast.
In LA, McDermott was joined by ceremony host Anthony Anderson dressed in a Rubber Man body suit in an impromptu appearance.

McDermott, who appeared in three more series of American Horror Story as well as reprising the role of Ben in an episode of American Horror Stories, paid tribute to the show's creators Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk.
"We would not have American Horror Story, a winner of 16 Emmys, without the series creators Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk," he said.
