In the battle for glory at the 76th Primetime Emmy Awards, two leading contenders have emerged: the powerful feudal lords of 17th-century Japan and the beleaguered cooks of a modern-day Chicago restaurant.
Either way, FX may rack up several statuettes tonight, between "The Bear" and "Shōgun," while crowd favorites like ABC's "Abbott Elementary," and "Only Murders in the Building" on Hulu return for another swing at Emmy wins.
Everything to know about the Emmys:
- How to tune in: The three-hour telecast from the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles kicks off live at 8 p.m. ET (5 p.m. PT) on ABC. The ceremony will be available to stream the next day on Hulu.
- The simultaneous monthslong SAG-AFTRA and Writers Guild of America strikes last year brought the entertainment capital to a grinding halt, resulting in fewer entries across categories this year.
- With 25 nominations, FX’s “Shōgun,” about 17th-century feudal Japan, racked up the most nods. FX's “The Bear,” which swept in the comedy categories at the January show broke the Emmy record for a comedy series, amassing 23 total nominations.
- This year's awards will be hosted by father-son duo Eugene Levy and Dan Levy, of "Schitt's Creek."
What’s on deck for TV’s big night?
"Only Murders in the Building" stars Steve Martin and Martin Short have practiced their "losing" faces, while the women nominated in the stacked acting categories prepare for an incredible face-off.
Who is hosting the ceremony?
“Schitt’s Creek” fans, this is your moment. Eugene and Dan Levy are serving as this year’s emcees, four years after their sleeper hit comedy series dominated the Emmys.
Eugene, 77, and Dan, 41, are each making their Emmys hosting debuts. In an interview with The Los Angeles Times, Dan Levy promised to keep the show “light and bright.”
How to watch the Emmy Awards tonight
The three-hour telecast from the Peacock Theater at L.A. Live in downtown Los Angeles kicks off at 8 p.m. ET (5 p.m. PT) on ABC. If you’re not able to follow along live, you can stream the ceremony the next day on Hulu. (ABC and Hulu are both units of Disney.)
FX dominates with ‘Shōgun’ and ‘The Bear’
Don’t bet against FX tonight. The cable network cruises into the show with the two leading contenders: ‘‘Shōgun” (25 nominations) and the “The Bear” (23 nominations).
‘‘Shōgun,” a lavish drama about feudal lords in 17th-century Japan, looks like a lock for the best drama series prize. FX would score its first-ever victory in that category.
“The Bear,” a dark comedy about cooks trying to revitalize a Chicago sandwich shop, nabbed the best comedy series award at the previous Emmys. It’s widely expected to do so again.
FX boasts four other shows in contention tonight: “Feud: Capote vs. The Swans,” “What We Do in the Shadows,” “Reservation Dogs” and the fifth installment of “Fargo.”
