The 75th Primetime Emmy Awards will finally be held on Monday (15 January) following a four-month delay.
Two hours ahead of tonight’s ceremony, the stars will grace the red carpet, beginning at 3pm PT/6pm ET.
The annual celebration of the year’s best TV shows takes place half a year after nominations were announced back in July.
While the ceremony was originally scheduled for September, it was pushed back due to the Hollywood writer and actor strikes that brought the industry to a standstill last year.
The show with the most nominations is Succession, the fourth and final season of which aired on HBO last year. Fellow HBO dramas The Last of Us and The White Lotus are also heavily nominated, while the final season of Apple TV+’s Ted Lasso has the most nominations in the comedy categories.
You can find the nominations here, along with who will win (and who should win) in the major categories.

What time does the Emmys red carpet start?
Ahead of the ceremony, which begins at 5pm PT/8pm ET, all the stars will walk the red carpet to mingle with interviewers and pose for photos. In a way, I like to equate the red carpet with the NFL halftime show.
Tonight’s official red carpet will begin on Fox two hours before the ceremony at 3pm PT/6pm ET, and will be hosted by Laverne Cox for E!. Entertainment Weekly and People will also be holding their own red carpet show hosted by Jeremy Parsons and Janine Rubenstein. You can tune in to the latter via their YouTube channels, social media accounts or websites.

Trevor Noah honours those who were recognised at the Creative Arts Emmys
While those in front of the camera typically take precedence over those behind the scenes, the latter are no less important. In the lead-up to the Emmys ceremony tonight, the Creative Arts Emmys were awarded at the weekend, and comedian Trevor Noah made sure to give a shoutout to the winners. Those honoured at the Creative Arts Emmys include video editors, set decorators, production designers, costume designers, casting directors, cinematographers and sound editors.

Jenna Ortega could make history tonight
The 21-year-old Wednesday star already made history as the youngest Latina to earn an acting Emmy nomination. So should she go on to win Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series, Ortega will become the youngest Latina acting Emmy winner ever.
She’s up against Rachel Brosnahan (The Marvelous Mrs Maisel), Quinta Brunson (Abbott Elementary), Natasha Lyonne (Poker Face) and Christina Applegate (Dead to Me).

Did the Golden Globes and Critics Choice Awards give a little insight into what will win tonight?
So far, Succession and The Bear have completely dominated the TV competition at the Golden Globes and Critics Choice Awards. Beef also led several of the categories for limited series.
Oftentimes, the Emmys arrive ahead of the Golden Globes, however, this year, with the delayed Emmy Awards, the order has flipped. Similarly to how the Golden Globes act as a predictor for the Oscars, I think it’ll do the same for the Emmys.
