Emmys 2025: What to know ahead of television's biggest night
All eyes are on the 77th Primetime Emmy Awards taking place on Sunday.
The annual awards show -- celebrating the best in television that aired between June 2024 to May 2025 -- will take place Sunday, Sept. 14, at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles.
Ahead of television's biggest night, we're sharing everything you need to know about who is hosting, who is nominated and more.
Who is hosting?
Nate Bargatze is hosting this year's show. When the news was announced, the actor and comedian called it a "huge honor" and that he's "beyond excited" in a press release.
Leading up to the Emmys, he told Stephen Colbert in June that he "wants everyone to have a good time" and will try to make the show "lively and fun."
Bargatze has been called "The Nicest Man in Stand-Up" by The Atlantic magazine. His sold-out shows have broken venue attendance records with 1.2 million tickets sold in 2024.
Who is nominated?
"The Studio" leads the pack with 23 nominations. The comedy series, which stars Seth Rogen, tied the record for the most nominations in a single year with 23, according to a press release. The record was originally set by "The Bear" in 2024.
In the drama category, "Severance" came out on top with 27 nominations.

Are there any other winners so far?
In August, the Television Academy announced the winners of the 77th Emmy Awards in juried categories from animation, costume, emerging media programming and motion design.
According to a press release, "juried category entrants are screened by a panel of professionals in the appropriate peer groups (Animation, Costume Design, Emerging Media Programming, and Motion and Title Design) with the possibility of one, more than one or no entry awarded an Emmy."
It adds, "As a result, there are no nominees but instead a one-step evaluation and voting procedure. Deliberations include open discussions of each entrant's work with a thorough review of the merits of awarding the Emmy."
Beyoncé Knowles-Carter was among the winners for outstanding costumes for variety, nonfiction or reality programming for her Netflix special, "Beyoncé Bowl."
She, along with winners in the rest of the juried categories, will be presented their Emmy awards during the Creative Arts Emmy Awards ceremony. It's unclear if Beyoncé will attend just yet.
Who won last year?
"Shōgun" was the big winner at the 76th Primetime Emmy Awards.
The American historical drama television series by Rachel Kondo and Justin Marks won the most Emmys of any other program, including outstanding drama series. In total, the show took home 18 statuettes between the Creative Arts Emmys and Primetime Emmy Awards ceremonies.
"The Bear" was also a big winner of the night with 11 total wins.
In the comedy category, "Hacks" took home the award for outstanding comedy series, while "Baby Reindeer" walked away with the Emmy for outstanding limited or anthology series.
