Eion Bailey (Almost Famous, Fight Club) won best performer in a children/youth/family special at the Creative Craft Daytime Emmy® Awards for his dramatic yet lighthearted performance as Michael Elgin in Lifetime's The Life of the Party, now available on DVD from THINKFilm. The Daytime Emmys recognize excellence in American daytime television programming.

Life of the Party tells the story of Michael Elgin (Bailey), a former high school track star, who keeps reality at bay by having a few too many cocktails. His wife (Pompeo) is ready to leave him, and his career is hanging by a thread. When he crashes his friend's car and emerges unscathed, he scares those who care bout him into organizing an intervention. Michael comes home to find his friends, co-workers, parents, wife, and new girlfriend waiting. When the psychiatrist who was supposed to guide them never shows up, Michael takes over and turns the event into yet another party. Secrets are revealed, emotions erupt, relationships unravel and Michael must find a way to pull his life back together and save his marriage.
