TV’s biggest night ― besides the Sunday when “Game of Thrones” finally returns ― is here!
The 70th Primetime Emmy Awards kicked off on Monday night at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, California with “Saturday Night Live” stars and Weekend Update co-anchors Colin Jost and Michael Che at the helm.
The awards show marks an unprecedented standoff between TV giants HBO and Netflix, which broke the premium cable channel’s 17-year streak with an impressive 112 nominations across all categories. HBO, which scored 108 nods this year, has a bit of a head start, however, already outpacing the streaming service by winning 17 trophies at the Creative Arts Emmys last week.
And considering the jewel in HBO’s Emmys crown, “Game of Thrones,” which reigns as the most nominated series around, and the network’s “Westworld” trailing not too far behind, the channel could still maintain its awards show domination by the end of the night.
NBC’s “Saturday Night Live” is also up for 21 awards. Hulu’s “The Handmaid’s Tale,” last year’s winner for Outstanding Drama Series, is in contention again for Emmys gold with 20 nominations.
And don’t count out the critical darling “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” from Amazon, which has been picking up trophies and rave reviews for its inaugural season.
Check back on the list of winners as it’s updated throughout the night.
