The 72nd Primetime Emmy Awards take place on Sunday, September 20 and will air live coast-to-coast on ABC. Jimmy Kimmel will host this virtual ceremony. While he and most of the presenters will be seen onstage at the Microsoft Theater in downtown Los Angeles, the nominees will be beaming in from around the world. Over the course of a jam-packed three hours, 23 awards will be handed out. Check out the 2020 Emmy winners list below.
While that is just one award shy of the total number of Oscars and Tonys, it represents only about a fifth of the 123 categories at the Emmys. The bulk of these — 100 in all — were bestowed at the five Creative Arts Emmy Awards ceremonies earlier this week.
Last year’s big Emmy winners were HBO’s “Game of Thrones” for Best Drama Series and Amazon’s “Fleabag” for Best Comedy Series. As both of them finished their runs last year, we will have new winners in each of this marquee categories.Which of your favorite TV programs will win this year? There is still time to make or updating your Emmy predictions right here before the first award is handed out at 5 p.m. PT/8 p.m. ET on Sunday, September 20.
