The show must go on! The 2020 Emmy Awards will take place on Sept. 20, 2020, with Jimmy Kimmel as the host. Before the ceremony happens, the nominations have to be revealed. This year, due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, the 2020 Emmy nominations were hosted virtually by Leslie Jones, along with presenters Josh Gad, Laverne Cox, and Tatiana Maslany.
The past year has featured some of the best television performances — ever. Reese Witherspoon pulled triple duty with Big Little Lies, The Morning Show, and Little Fires Everywhere. Regina King stunned with her incredible performance in Watchmen. Succession took over as one of the best dramas right now, and Schitt’s Creek solidified itself as one of the greatest comedies of all-time with its final season. See the full list of nominees below:

As for how the ceremony is going to go down, details haven’t been revealed just yet. Given the global health crisis and social distancing, the 2020 Emmys will likely be unlike any Emmys we’ve seen before. Whether the show is in-person or virtual, it’s going to be a night to remember no matter what.
