The 2023 Emmy Awards are just around the corner, and it’s going to be an exciting night celebrating the best in television. The awards ceremony, which was delayed due to the Hollywood strikes, is finally happening, and we can’t wait to see who takes home the coveted trophies. Here’s a guide to everything you need to know about the show.
How to Watch (or Stream) the Emmys
The three-hour live telecast from the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles will kick off at 8 p.m. ET (5 p.m. PT) on Fox. If you can’t catch it live, don’t worry, as it will be available to stream on Hulu starting Tuesday. It’s worth noting that the broadcast network that presents the Emmys changes each year, with NBC and Peacock hosting the show in 2022.
Who is Hosting?
This year’s emcee is the talented Anthony Anderson. You may know him best from his role on the ABC sitcom “black-ish.” Anderson, who has been nominated for seven Emmys for his lead role on “black-ish,” is also the host of the Fox game show “We Are Family.” He expressed his excitement about the hosting gig, saying, “With our industry’s recent challenges behind us, we can get back to what we love — dressing up and honoring ourselves.”
Who is Presenting?
The list of presenters includes some of the night’s nominees, such as Quinta Brunson, Jenna Ortega, Pedro Pascal, Sheryl Lee Ralph, and Hannah Waddingham. They’ll be joined by familiar faces like Jason Bateman, Jodie Foster, Jon Hamm, and Ken Jeong. It’s going to be a star-studded event!
Who are the Major Nominees?
The nominees for outstanding drama series include “Andor,” “Better Call Saul,” “The Crown,” “House of the Dragon,” “The Last of Us,” “Succession,” “The White Lotus,” and “Yellowjackets.” In the outstanding comedy series category, the nominees are “Abbott Elementary,” “Barry,” “The Bear,” “Jury Duty,” “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” “Only Murders in the Building,” “Ted Lasso,” and “Wednesday.” Keep an eye out for “Succession” and “The White Lotus,” as they lead the pack with the most nominations.
Who is Expected to Win?
While “Succession” seems to be the frontrunner for best drama series, the best comedy series category is less clear-cut. “Abbott Elementary,” “Ted Lasso,” and “The Bear” are among the top contenders. In the limited or anthology series category, “Beef” is expected to come out on top. As for the lead actor races, Kieran Culkin, Sarah Snook, Jeremy Allen White, Quinta Brunson, Steven Yeun, and Ali Wong are the ones to watch.
We can’t wait to see who will take home the Emmys this year. Make sure to tune in and join us in celebrating the incredible talent in the television industry.
