The three-hour show begins at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on Sunday, September 14, and is being broadcast live on CBS. Paramount+ premium subscribers can also stream the Emmys live or on demand, while base-tier subscribers can stream on-demand the day after.
Grammy-nominated comedian Nate Bargatze is making his debut hosting the ceremony after becoming a stand-up star and a popular repeat guest on Saturday Night Live in recent years.
Apple TV+’s hit series Severance leads the nominees this year with an impressive 27 nods, including for Best Drama Series and most of the drama acting categories.
Nominees Adam Scott and Britt Lower star as office coworkers at a secretive company that uses a proprietary brain surgery to ‘sever’ their personality, creating a separate version of themselves at work that never knows what happens outside the office.
It’s competing in the Best Drama Series category against Andor, The Diplomat, The Last of Us, Paradise, The Pitt, Slow Horses and The White Lotus.

The Colin Farrell–starring HBO series The Penguin is in second place with 24 nominations, including for Best Limited or Anthology Series, along with acting nominations for Farrell and his costar Cristin Milioti.
The show takes a dark, realistic tone as it creates a backstory for the iconic comic book villain after Farrell played the character in the Robert Pattinson–starring blockbuster The Batman.
Apple’s The Studio and HBO’s The White Lotus season three are both tied for 23 nominations, with the latter series scoring multiple supporting and guest actor nominations for its ensemble cast.
Seth Rogen, Catherine O’Hara, Ike Barinholtz, Chase Sui Wonders and Kathryn Hahn star in The Studio as Hollywood executives trying too revive a struggling studio, and the series features a bevy of A-list guest stars in cameo roles as themselves.
White Lotus stars Walton Goggins, Jason Isaacs, Sam Rockwell, Carrie Coon, Parker Posey, Natasha Rothwell, Aimee Lou Wood and Scott Glenn will all be competing for acting honors, while creator Mike White is nominated in the writing and directing categories.
Fans will be watching for any signs of tension between Goggins and Wood after they struck up controversy after Goggins unfollowed his on-screen love interest on Instagram despite offering surprisingly effusive praise for Wood just weeks beforehand.
Goggins later claimed that it’s his standard practice to cut off communications with his costars after finishing up a big project.
‘When I left Justified . . . I didn’t talk to [costar Timothy Olyphant] for almost two years,’ he told Variety in June. ‘I’ve done that with every single thing that I’ve done.’
The 77th Emmy Awards are honoring the best of television tonight, with the star-studded ceremony being held at the Peacock Theater in Downtown Los Angeles
The show airs at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on CBS and on Paramount+

Pedro Pascal’s zombie video game adaptation The Last Of Us follows with 16 nominations, while Disney+’s Star Wars prequel series Andor and HBO’s previous Emmy winner Hacks both have 14 nominations.
Hacks star Jean Smart, who has already won Best Lead Actress in a comedy for the past three years, is again nominated.
Her costar, Hannah Einbinder, is also nominated in the Supporting Actress category, even though she also has a lead role as a struggling comedian working to help an aging stand-up star (Smart) make it back to the A-list.
This will be Einbinder’s fourth nomination, but so far she hasn’t been able to clinch the prize.
The Bear will hope to repeat its Emmys success with 13 nominations, and newcomers The Pitt and Adolescence are tied with it.
This year marks the first Emmy nomination for Harrison Ford for his work in Apple TV+’s dramedy Shrinking.
The line between film and television was further blurred when filmmakers Martin Scorsese and Ron Howard received their first-ever acting Emmy nominations for guest appearances on Seth Rogen’s Hollywood satire The Studio.
Many of the biggest stars of film and television will be on hand to present this evening, including Elizabeth Banks, Ike Barinholtz, Angela Bassett, Jason Bateman, Kathy Bates, Kristen Bell, Sterling K. Brown, Stephen Colbert, Jennifer Coolidge, Alan Cumming, Eric Dane, Colman Domingo, Tina Fey, Walton Goggins, Kathryn Hahn, Mariska Hargitay, Charlie Hunnam, Jude Law, James Marsden, Christopher Meloni, Jenna Ortega, Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Parker Posey, Jeff Probst, Phylicia Rashad, Hiroyuki Sanada, Sydney Sweeney, Sofia Vergara, Jesse Williams and Catherine Zeta-Jones.

It hasn’t sunk in yet for comedian Nate Bargatze, 46, that he’s about to perform for his biggest audience ever.
‘This is the first I’m thinking about it, was this week,’ he joked in his trademark deadpan tone while speaking to CBS last week.
Bargatze, who favor clean comedy at his arena-filling shows, said he planned to avoid ‘mean’ jokes at the Emmys.
‘I was like trying to think of like how, which way you want to go and it’s like . . . even we’ve had stuff written that I think was a little more roast stuff and then it’s like after you think about it a couple of days, I’m like, “Nah, let’s go back another way,”‘ he said, adding, ‘We have some fun stuff though that’s planned.’
In addition to hosting, Bargatze will be competing in the Best Variety Special and Best Writing for a Variety Special categories for his stand-up special Your Friend, Nate Bargatze
