The 76th Emmy Awards are Sunday, roughly nine months after the last celebration of the best in television.
Last year’s Hollywood strikes delayed the show’s 75th edition until January, when "Succession" and "The Bear" dominated the show.
HBO’s mega-hit "Succession" has ended, so TV fans are wondering if any top show will sweep the categories this year in its place.
Here are all the details to know about the ceremony, and some of the bigger moments to watch for:
When are the Emmys?
The Emmys are Sunday, Sept. 15. The show begins at 8 p.m. ET.
What channel are the Emmys on?
This year, the Emmys are being shown live on ABC.
ABC is available with an antenna or through cable and satellite providers.
How to stream the Emmys
The Emmys can be streamed live through live TV streaming services that include ABC in their lineup, like Hulu+ Live TV, YouTube TV and FuboTV.
For those without the service, the show will be streaming Monday on Hulu.
Who is hosting the Emmys?
Father-son duo Eugene and Dan Levy are hosting the Emmys this year.
Emmys red carpet streams
"Live from E!" will begin airing its red carpet coverage at 6 p.m. ET on the cable network E!. Laverne Cox, the first transgender person to receive an Emmy nomination, will host the coverage along with comedian Heather McMahan and E! News' Keltie Knight.
People magazine and Entertainment Weekly will also host a live red carpet show on their websites and YouTube, also starting at 6 p.m.
Notable moments to watch for
- The recent top winner at the Emmys, "Succession," has ended, clearing the way for a new favorite drama series.
- After last week’s Creative Arts Emmy ceremony, FX’s "Shogun" is now the record-holder for the most wins for a single season. How many more will it get on Sunday - and will it take the top honor of best drama series? More on that below.
- But also worth noting about "Shogun" is that Hiroyuki Sanada and Anna Sawai have potential to become the first Japanese actors to win an Emmy. Sanada is nominated for best actor in a drama series; Sawai for best actress.
- Speaking of acting, two-time Academy Award winner Jodie Foster is a good bet to win her first Emmy as best actress in a limited or anthology series or TV movie for her role in "True Detective: Night Country."
- Meryl Streep could end up with more Emmys than Oscars if she wins her fourth for best supporting actress in a comedy for "Only Murders in the Building."
- Reigning best supporting actor Oscar winner Robert Downey Jr. could also become a first-time Emmy winner. He’s up for best supporting actor in the limited series category for playing five different roles in "The Sympathizer."
- Actors Jon Hamm and Jennifer Aniston have both received several Emmy nominations, and have only won once. Will either finally take home a second trophy Sunday night?
"Shogun" Emmys
"Shogun" leads all Emmy nominations with 25, and dominated at the Creative Arts ceremony last week.
It won in 14 of the 16 categories, such as for costuming, hairdressing, cinematography, casting and more. The 14 wins made it the winningest series for a single season in Emmy history.
And it could win six more trophies, including best drama series, best actor in a drama for Hiroyuki Sanada and best actress in a drama for Anna Sawai.
"Shogun" is a new FX series about feudal Japan, based on the 1975 novel of the same name by James Clavell.
"The Bear" Emmys
"The Bear’s" second season received 23 nominations this year.
Its placement in the comedy category — mocked by some for a show with more drama than many dramas — will be a major perk this time amid the "Shogun" dominance.
Actress Ayo Edebiri won last year’s Best Supporting Actress Emmy for her role as Sydney, and was nominated again this year – though she faces stiffer competition after a shift from supporting actress to lead.
Jeremy Allen White, Lioney Boyce, Ebon Moss-Bachrach and Liza Colón-Zayas are also nominated for acting roles.
Jamie Lee Curtis already won an Emmy for her guest role on "The Bear."
