Good news, TV fans: The wait is almost over to watch the 2024 Emmy Awards. The 76th annual Primetime Emmy Awards will finally take place on Sunday, September 15 at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT. Even better? The Television Academy recently announced who will host the awards show, and the star-studded event will air on ABC.

During the nomination ceremony, Television Academy Chair Cris Abrego said in a statement, “Television delivers stories that connect us, uplift us, challenge us, and always entertain us. I am honored to celebrate the outstanding work of our extraordinarily talented and hardworking creative community.”

So, who’s been nominated? And how can you watch the Emmys? I did some digging and put together a little FAQ, from the biggest Emmy nods and snubs to red-carpet coverage. Here’s everything you need to know about TV’s biggest night.

According to ABC, the 2024 Primetime Emmy Awards will be broadcast on Sunday, September 15 at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT. The ceremony will be held at the Peacock Theater at at L.A. LIVE in Los Angeles.

At the nominations ceremony, Abrego said, "While this year has been marked by significant challenges for our industry and its workforce, there has been an abundance of remarkable programs, extraordinary performances and impactful storytelling. Great television relies on the contributions of so many, and we are delighted to have Tony [Hale] and Sheryl [Lee Ralph] help us acknowledge excellence across our field as we embark on a season of tremendous celebration." (In case you missed it, Hale and Ralph announced this year's nominees—but more on this later.)

2. How to Watch the Emmys

The 2024 Emmys ceremony will be broadcast exclusively on ABC, but if you prefer to stream the awards show, you can tune in with a live subscription service, including Hulu + Live TVSling TV, YouTube TV and Fubo. Also, if you're unable to tune in live, you'll be happy to know the ceremony will stream the next day on Hulu.

3. Who’s Hosting the Emmy Awards?

Back in 2023, I was thrilled to learn that the Television Academy selected Anthony Anderson to host the reunion-packed ceremony. The Black-ish star totally nailed it, from his hilarious monologue to his nostalgic I Love Lucy tribute. But for this year's ceremony, ABC has announced that our favorite father-son duo, Eugene and Dan Levy, are set to host.

FYI, this will be the first-ever father-son duo to take on the role. Cris Abrego said in a statement, "We are thrilled to welcome two generations of comedy genius to the Emmy's stage as hosts. Eugene and Dan Levy are known for creating unforgettable laugh-out-loud moments on screen, and together, they are super-charged. I cannot wait for Emmy fans to see what they have in store for all of us." TBH, same.

4. How to Watch the Red Carpet

For the 75th annual ceremony, E! led the coverage with a Live From E! Countdown to the Emmys. Additionally, People and Entertainment Weekly hosted their own coverage, titled Red Carpet Live: 75th Emmy Awards.

This time, Live From E!: Countdown to the Emmys will start at 5 p.m. ET on E!, featuring Zuri Hall, Melissa Peterman, Zanna Roberts Rassi and fashion designer Christian Siriano. Per usual, they'll discuss the night's biggest nominees and predict which trendy styles the stars will wear. People will also report live from the red carpet, starting at 6 p.m. People's Editor at Large, Janine Rubenstein, and Entertainment Weekly Editor-in-Chief Patrick Gomez are set to co-host.

5. Who’s Nominated for an Emmy Award?

The 2024 Emmy Award nominations were announced back in July by previous winners, Tony Hale and Sheryl Lee Ralph. The list of nominees features several expected fan-favorites, including Abbott ElementaryThe Bear, Hacks, Shōgun, Only Murders in the Building and Curb Your Enthusiasm.

The most noteworthy category was Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series, which is stacked with Hollywood stars, including Quinta Brunson (Abbott Elementary), Ayo Edebiri (The Bear), Selena Gomez (Only Murders in the Building), Maya Rudolph (Loot) Jean Smart (Hacks) Kristen Wiig (Palm Royale). Yep, we weren’t kidding.

The list also included a few surprises, like Matt Berry's nomination for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series for What We Do In the Shadows. Another one I didn't see coming? FX's highly underrated Reservation Dogs, which finally secured a nomination for Outstanding Comedy Series. The show's star, D'Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai, also scored a nomination for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series.

6. Who Got Snubbed?

There are way more snubs than there should be. For starters, two-time Oscar winner Emma Stone delivered a stellar performance as Whitney in the clever satirical thriller, The Curse, but she and the series were completely overlooked with zero nominations. Another big shocker? Kelsey Grammer, who earned four Emmys playing Dr. Frasier Crane in the original Frasier series, wasn't nominated for his performance in the Paramount reboot.

Speaking of neglected stars, Ricky Martin didn't receive a supporting actor nomination for Palm Royale, although his co-stars, Kristen Wiig and Carol Burnett, are both in the running. The period comedy-drama has also been nominated for Best Comedy Series.

Others I'm surprised to see left out include Nicole Kidman (Expats), Chloë Sevigny (Feud: Capote vs. the Swans), Tom Hiddleston (Loki) and Dominic West (The Crown). And despite receiving rave reviews from critics, John Mulaney Presents: Everybody’s in L.A. was completely shut out from the Outstanding Talk Series category. Womp, womp.
