LOS ANGELES (AP) — It feels like the Emmys happened just recently, and that’s because they did!
The 76th Emmy Awards are set for this Sunday, occurring about nine months after the last ceremony honoring the best in television. The 75th edition was postponed to January due to Hollywood strikes, where shows like “Succession” and “The Bear” took home major awards.
While “The Bear” is expected to be a strong contender this weekend, January’s awards celebrated “Succession” for its final season, which means there will be a new winner for the drama series category.
One of the big newcomers is “Shogun,” an FX series set in feudal Japan. It has already secured 14 wins from the Creative Arts Emmy ceremony last weekend, making it the record-holder for the most wins in a single season. It’s likely to add even more awards on Sunday.
Here’s what you need to know about this weekend’s Emmys, including how to watch the event and the nominees.
When do the Emmys start?
The show kicks off at 8 p.m. Eastern time and will be broadcast live on ABC, which you can access with an antenna or through various cable and satellite providers.
Can I stream the Emmys?
Yes! You can stream the Emmys live if you use a service that includes ABC in its lineup, such as Hulu+ Live TV, YouTube TV, or FuboTV. If you don’t have those options, don’t worry! The show will be available for streaming on Hulu starting Monday.
Who has already won an Emmy?
Several individuals from “Shogun” have already received awards, including actor Néstor Carbonell. Maya Rudolph took home an Emmy for her work on “Big Mouth,” and Jamie Lee Curtis won her first Emmy for a guest appearance on “The Bear.”
The Creative Arts Emmys primarily recognize the behind-the-scenes talent that contributes to making television shows shine, while the main awards will be presented at Sunday’s ceremony, hosted by actors Eugene and Dan Levy.
How can I watch the Emmys if I’m outside the U.S.?
The Emmys can be watched in many countries around the world. The Television Academy has a helpful list of international broadcasters along with air times available at https://www.emmys.com/watch.
How can I watch the red carpet coverage?
“Live from E!” will start its red carpet coverage at 6 p.m. Eastern on the E! cable network. Laverne Cox, the first transgender person nominated for an Emmy, will host the event, joined by comedian Heather McMahan and E! News’ Keltie Knight.
Additionally, People magazine and Entertainment Weekly will have a live red carpet show available on their websites and YouTube, also starting at 6 p.m.
Who is nominated for the Emmys?
“Shogun” leads with 25 nominations, followed closely by “The Bear,” which has 23 nominations and is in the running for best comedy series and best actor in a comedy series for Jeremy Allen White – both of which it won at the January ceremony. Ayo Edebiri, who won best supporting actress last January, is now nominated for best actress in a comedy.
“The Crown” and “Hacks” are returning with 19 and 16 nominations, respectively. Elizabeth Debicki is a nominee for best supporting actress in a drama for her portrayal of Princess Diana, while Imelda Staunton is nominated for her role as Queen Elizabeth II.
Two-time Academy Award winner Jodie Foster is favored to win her first Emmy for best actress in a limited series or TV movie for her performance in “True Detective: Night Country.”
Additionally, Robert Downey Jr., who recently won an Oscar for best supporting actor, has the chance to earn his first Emmy for portraying five different characters in “The Sympathizer.”
