Watchmen, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel Lead This Year’s Emmy Nominations

The 2020 Emmy Awards are underway despite the coronavirus’s best efforts. The TV industry is still reeling from the pandemic, but with the announcement of this year’s Emmy nominees, at least we can look back to better days, like when Euphoria was on. Leslie Jones, a two-time nominee herself, hosted the nominations on July 28 at 11:30 a.m. ET, livestreamed on the Emmys’ website, Facebook page, and YouTube. Laverne Cox (Inventing Anna), Josh Gad (Central Park), and Tatiana Maslany (Perry Mason) joined her virtually. The winners will be announced on September 20, 2020, at 8 p.m. ET. The Emmys will be “reimagined as a virtual event,� like this year’s Creative Arts Emmys, but at least they locked down a host this year, late night’s Jimmy Kimmel. Last year, Game of Thrones and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel led the noms. Who will it be this year? Take a look below for the full list of nominees for the 72nd Emmy Awards.
