Because there are so many Emmys and because A-list actors can only be expected to stay in the same seat for so long, the awards are split between two weekends. Last Saturday and Sunday saw this year’s Creative Arts Emmys, where The Studio won nine awards, a sign that we might also be seeing the Seth Rogen comedy dominate tonight’s ceremony.

Here are some of the more notable winners:

Outstanding guest actor in a comedy series: Bryan Cranston (The Studio)

Outstanding narrator: Barack Obama (Our Oceans)

Outstanding guest actress in a drama series: Merritt Wever (Severance)

Outstanding TV movie: Rebel Ridge

Outstanding guest actress in a comedy series: Julianne Nicholson (Hacks)

Outstanding host for a reality or reality competition program: Alan Cumming (The Traitors)

Outstanding original main title theme music: The White Lotus

Outstanding host for a game show: Jimmy Kimmel (Who Wants to be a Millionaire?)

Outstanding guest actor in a drama series: Shawn Hatosy (The Pitt)

Sure

There’s still a lot of understandable outrage over the decision to cancel The Late Show, a long-running institution that’s most recently been in the capable hands of Stephen Colbert. At last weekend’s Creative Arts Emmys, the show picked up a directing award and is predicted to win in the talk series category tonight.

But the ceremony is airing on CBS, the same network that pulled the plug, so it’ll be interesting to see how fiery his acceptance speech will be …

The Emmys are back!

Yes, it’s that time of year again, where you realize how much TV you haven’t seen – the Emmys are back! And with a healthy mix of award show veterans and newbies.

With the absence of Shōgun, which basically swept the drama awards last year, the race this year is shaping up to be one of the more interesting competitions this year. Apple TV’s Severance leads the night with 27 nominations for its second season. But the epitome of prestige TV – long-gestating, high-budget, starry cast – is up against HBO Max’s answer to the network medical drama. The Pitt, with 13 nominations and plenty of audience goodwill, could come out ahead. Both face-off against Andor, Slow Horses, Paradise, The Last of Us, the Diplomat and Emmys stalwart, The White Lotus.

On the comedy side, another Apple TV success, Hollywood business satire The Studio, has the momentum, with 23 nominations – breaking the record for most nominations for a show’s first season. It competes with two former winners – Hacks and still-not-a-comedy The Bear – as well as Abbott Elementary, Only Murders in the Building, Shrinking, What We Do in the Shadows and the first season of the Netflix hit Nobody Wants This. And like Baby Reindeer last year, another small British production released through Netflix, Adolescence, enters as the heavy favorite for limited series, along with several deserved acting nominations.

The night promises at least a few surprises and memorable speeches, as well as cast reunions for Gilmore Girls and Law & Order – stick with us for all the highlights!
