Emmy Awards 2022: Everything to Know About the Host, Nominees, Date and More

usmagazine.com:

The biggest night in television! The 74th Primetime Emmy Awards is returning to its usual home in Los Angeles this year — but there are some major changes afoot.The 2022 Emmys will air live from the Microsoft Theater on Monday, September 12, after two years in which the coronavirus pandemic necessitated that the show was held elsewhere.

Before 2020, the Primetime Emmys had been held at the downtown L.A. theater since 2008.While the venue will look familiar, the behind-the-scenes rules have undergone a major shift.

In December 2021, the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences announced that “Daytime” and “Primetime” categories would be readjusted to align with the way streaming has upended traditional ideas of air time.Talk shows, for example, will be split between the two categories based on “format and style characteristics reflective of current programming in the daytime or late night space.” Categories for morning shows have been moved from the Daytime Emmys to the News & Documentary Emmy Awards, or to daytime talk show categories, depending on the format.Some things, however, will remain the same — like HBO’s complete dominance of the nominees list.

The network and its HBO Max streaming counterpart scored 140 nods across all the categories, marking the 20th time that the HBO brand has earned the most nominations of any platform in a single year. (Netflix came in second place with 104 nominations.)A major contribution to HBO’s massive nomination total is Succession, which is up for 25 awards.
