LOS ANGELES (AP) — The time has finally come for some very unusual Emmys.
The 75th Emmy Awards will arrive four months after their original date Monday night at the Peacock Theater, after a year of historic Hollywood turbulence in an industry whose upheavals are evident.
Strikes by both actors and writers, radical shifts to streaming and the dismantling of the traditional television calendar mean that envelopes opened during the ceremony broadcast by Fox and presented by Anthony Anderson on the American holiday of Martin Luther King Jr.’s birth. will reveal winners that were decided months ago for shows that in some cases were completed years ago, and have a fraction of the audience they had a few decades ago.
But for the actors and others who participate in the ceremony, the rules are no longer usual in this business.
“Since the pandemic it’s been very strange, you film something, then sometimes it’s another couple of years until you see it, and a while longer until something like this happens,” actor Nick Offerman told The Associated Press last week after to win one of the first trophies awarded at the Creative Arts Emmy ceremony for “The Last of Us,” a series that is among Monday night’s top nominees along with “Succession,” “Ted Lasso” and “The Bear.”
The Emmys will provide a respite and celebration after the strikes and the problems that caused them, and with their 75th edition, they will try to provide links to their past and to the history of television. They will include a series of cast reunions and reenactments of scenes from beloved shows like “Cheers,” “Game of Thrones,” “Grey’s Anatomy” and “Martin.”
The nominations themselves resonate with the Emmys’ past: a continuation of the decades-long dominance of HBO, which this year has the three most nominated shows with “Succession,” “The White Lotus” and “The Last of Us.”
Anderson has been tasked with hosting at a time when being an awards emcee is not a coveted job, especially after comedian Jo Koy was widely criticized for his performance at the Golden Globes last weekend. last week.
But Anderson said he actually comes in relaxed and relieved, because for the first time in nearly a decade, he’s not nominated. He never won an Emmy despite 11 nominations as a producer and actor for his former show, “black-ish.”
“All the pressure is off me now,” Anderson, now host of Fox’s “We Are Family,” said during ceremony preparations. “I don’t have to sit there and wonder, am I going to win? Am I going to get it? What time are you going to reach this category? “I can just come here and be myself.”
HOW TO SEE THEM
The Emmys will be broadcast in the United States live on Fox starting at 8 pm New York (0100 GMT), and can be streamed starting Tuesday on Hulu.
The ceremony can also be seen in dozens of other countries. The Television Academy website has a handy list of channels and, in some cases, broadcast times.
There are also plenty of ways to watch the Emmys red carpet, which begins at 5 p.m. (2200 GMT), when E! will begin your coverage. People and Entertainment Weekly will also have red carpet coverage streaming on their websites and YouTube pages.
THE NOMINEES
“Succession” earned 27 nominations. It is the likely favorite to win its third Emmy for best drama series and has three men, Brian Cox, Jeremy Strong and Kieran Culkin, nominated for best actor, with four more nominees in the supporting actor categories.
But he won’t come out with the most wins. This is because “The Last of Us”, second with 24 nominations, comes with eight after last weekend’s Creative Arts Emmys, where “Succession” did not win any awards. Among them are best guest actor awards for Offerman and Storm Reid, suggesting voters may also favor its lead actors, Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey. Both could make history, as Pascal would become the first Latino to win the award for best dramatic actor and Ramsey the youngest to win the award for best actress.
The elite cast of “The White Lotus” is in every supporting category. It has five women nominated for best supporting actress in a drama, including Jennifer Coolidge and Aubrey Plaza.
On the comedy side, the night could become a victory lap for the third and final season of “Ted Lasso,” the football series that won best comedy for its first two seasons.
His main challenge comes from the kitchen. “The Bear,” about a chef struggling with his family’s legacy, will compete for best comedy, and its star, Jeremy Allen White, could challenge “Ted Lasso’s” Jason Sudeikis for best actor. funny.
THE LONG WAIT
Last year’s actors and writers’ strikes meant that the Emmys, normally held in September, were moved to January in an unprecedented way, placing them at the heart of Hollywood’s awards season.
However, the Academy’s voting took place on the normal calendar, meaning that the winners were determined from the end of August.
The wait and other calendar quirks make for strange awards circumstances. “The Bear” is competing for the Emmys in its first season, after having already won the Golden Globes for the second.
