The Emmy Awards, highly regarded in the television industry, will honor standout shows such as Adolescence, The White Lotus, Severance, and The Penguin. This year, Owen Cooper, a 15-year-old actor from Adolescence, is nominated for best supporting actor in a limited series. If he wins, he could become the youngest male actor to secure an Emmy, though the record for youngest winner overall is held by Roxana Zal, who won at age 14 in 1984.
Hosting this year’s Emmys is comedian Nate Bargatze, known for his family-friendly humor. Bargatze expressed his excitement about the opportunity and plans to make an unconventional move by pledging $100,000 to charity, with the amount decreasing for each acceptance speech that exceeds the time limit.
The nominations span three categories: comedy, drama, and limited series. In the outstanding drama category, contenders include The White Lotus, Andor, Severance, and The Last of Us, as last year’s winner, Shogun, has not yet commenced production for its next season. In comedy, established shows like The Bear and Hacks will compete, while the limited series category is highlighted by Adolescence and others such as Black Mirror and The Penguin.
One significant development ahead of the ceremony is the cancellation of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, which has sparked an industry response as various talk show hosts rally in support of Colbert ahead of the Emmys, with notable nominations in the variety talk series category.
The ceremony will take place on Sunday at the Peacock Theatre in Los Angeles, starting at 5 PM PT / 8 PM ET. While U.S. viewers can watch it on CBS or via Paramount+, UK viewers will have to rely on live updates on the BBC News website, as no British broadcaster is set to air the event live.
