What’s on deck for TV’s big night?
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.”
