Emmy Awards: Highlights and How to Watch
The Emmy Awards, a prestigious event in the television industry, is just around the corner. This year, shows like Adolescence, The White Lotus, Severance, and The Penguin are in the spotlight.
Certainly, the spotlight will be on 15-year-old Owen Cooper, the star of Adolescence, who is poised to become the youngest male actor to win an Emmy.
Meanwhile, a campaign by chat show hosts surrounding the cancellation of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert could lead to the program winning Outstanding Talk Series for the first time.
The ceremony is set for Sunday evening at the Peacock Theatre in Los Angeles.
Other competitors include The Studio, Andor, Hacks, Slow Horses, The Bear, Nobody Wants This, and The Last of Us.
Who is hosting the Emmys?
US comedian Nate Bargatze will take the helm as the host of this year's Emmys. Known for his family-friendly humor, Bargatze plans to introduce an interesting twist: a donation to charity that decreases with overlong acceptance speeches.
Which TV shows are nominated?
This year features strong contenders in several categories, including a mix of drama, comedy, and limited series. Standouts in the Outstanding Drama category include The White Lotus, Andor, and Severance, while The Bear and Hacks are in the running for Outstanding Comedy.
Record breakers and controversies
If Owen Cooper wins, he will make history as the youngest male winner in his category, potentially eclipsing Roxana Zal's record, who was just 14 when she won in 1984.
How to watch the Emmy Awards
The ceremony will commence at 17:00 PT / 20:00 ET on Sunday, or 01:00 BST on Monday for UK viewers. US audiences can catch all the action live on CBS or via the streaming service Paramount+. In the UK, the BBC News website will provide live coverage of the red carpet and ceremony.
