What Time Do the Emmys Start?: The Emmys will air live coast-to-coast from the Microsoft Theater at L.A. Live on Sunday, Sept. 18 at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on ABC. Viewers can also watch a live stream of the awards show on ABC.com or through the Watch ABC app. The Emmys will also be available via On Demand on Monday.
Who Is Hosting?: Jimmy Kimmel returns to the Emmy stage as host for the second time. The 48-year-old late-night host, who first emceed the Emmys for ABC in 2012, told ET he won’t be roasting many of TV’s biggest stars -- for the most part. “There are a few that maybe should be a little worried, but for the most part everyone can relax,” he said.
It’s also an election year, so expect Kimmel to drop a few zingers at presidential candidates Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. We’re also hoping for wildly random moments like this stunt from 2012 involving Josh Groban, One Direction and President Barack Obama. Plus, what are the odds of Kimmel’s “nemesis,” Matt Damon, making an off-the-wall cameo?
Who Will Be Presenting?: Anthony Anderson, Aziz Ansari, Hank Azaria, Kristen Bell, Julie Bowen, Kyle Chandler, Priyanka Chopra, James Corden, Laverne Cox, Bryan Cranston, Claire Danes, Larry David, Michelle Dockery, Minnie Driver, America Ferrera, Tina Fey, Tony Goldwyn, Kit Harington, Taraji P. Henson, Tom Hiddleston, Terrence Howard, Allison Janney, Matt LeBlanc, Rami Malek, Margo Martindale, Joel McHale, Mandy Moore, Randall Park, Amy Poehler, Chris Rock, Tracee Ellis Ross, Keri Russell, Andy Samberg, Liev Schreiber, Peter Scolari, Abigail Spencer, Kiefer Sutherland, Jeffrey Tambor, Damon Wayans, Michael Weatherly and Constance Wu
Biggest Moments to Watch Out For: Fresh off his three-month whirlwind romance with Taylor Swift, Tom Hiddleston will make his first high-profile public appearance by closing the Emmys and presenting the final award (Best Drama Series). Will he make a joke at his own expense? Will he mourn his failed relationship by paying homage to his infamous “I <3 T.S.” tank? (Probably not, but one can hope!)
#BFFGoals Tina Fey and Amy Poehler won an Emmy for co-hosting Saturday Night Live at last weekend’s Creative Arts Emmys and they will take the stage together for what’s sure to be a highlight-reel moment. Whatever they do will be worth noting, because everyone needs more Tina and Amy in their lives.
Will late-night favorite and presenter James Corden create another viral moment, a la Carpool Karaoke? Even though Kimmel said he wouldn’t be targeting many celebrities on Sunday night, we’re hoping he’ll still ruffle features. How far will he really go?
