For years, award winners at the Emmy Awards, the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences’ (NATAS) annual celebration of all thing’s television, have provided us with guideposts for what to binge-watch next, and we’re about to get a whole slew of new options: The 2024 Emmys are just around the corner! Here’s your complete guide to watching every moment of the 2024 Emmy Awards.
WHAT ARE THE EMMY AWARDS?
Emmys are awarded each year to the top TV shows and television actors for their outstanding performances on the screen. While there are two different Emmy Awards ceremonies, we’ll focus on the better known of the two, the Primetime Emmy Awards, in this article.
TV programs released between June 1, 2023, and May 31, 2024, are eligible for an Emmy nomination.
Nominations were announced at the beginning of July and the voting period closes at the beginning of September. Only active members of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences can vote for the winners.
How to Watch the 2024 Emmy Awards
The 2024 Emmys will be held on Sunday, September 15 at 8 p.m. ET and believe it or not, this is actually the second Emmy Awards ceremony of the year. The 2023 Emmy Awards were postponed from September 2023 to January 2024 amid the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes.
They’ll be held at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, California and will air on ABC (Check your local listings here).
Who is Hosting the 2024 Emmy Awards?
This year, the Emmys will be hosted by the comedic father-son pair of Eugene and Dan Levy, the stars of Schitt’s Creek, which won an Emmy in 2020 in the Outstanding Comedy Series category and became the first series to ever sweep all four acting categories.
Who are the Top Nominees for the 2024 Emmy Awards?
Thanks to a pair of sensational series that aired on FX this year, Shōgun and The Bear, the network made a strong showing this awards season. Shōgun, a series about feudal Japanese warlords vying for power, snagged the most overall nominations at 25, while The Bear, which follows a Michelin-starred chef as he returns home to Chicago to revitalize his family’s struggling sandwich shop, hauled in 23 nominations, a record for a comedy series.
Netflix and HBO/Max had the next most nominations for shows like The Crown, Curb Your Enthusiasm, The Gilded Age, Griselda and True Detective: Night Country.
