Good morning and welcome to the Emmys!
By Louise Rugendyke
Good morning and welcome to our live blog of the 78th annual primetime Emmy Awards – or as I like to call them, the American Logies.
I’ll be your live blog host, while deputy Lifestyle editor Courtney Thompson will be taking us through the best looks from the Peacock Theatre in Los Angeles, and Lifestyle writer Abby Seaman will be combing through the photos for our red carpet gallery. On the ground, Culture Editor-at-Large Michael Idato will be giving us a front-row seat to the awards (OK, he’s actually in row L, but it’s closer than I’ll ever be). Once the awards kick off, Deputy TV editor Meg Watson and Culture writers Karl Quinn and Nell Geraets will be blogging their way through the event. You can check out the full list of nominees here.
The morning will go something like this:
- Red carpet from 8am.
- Live broadcast starts at 10am on Binge, hosted by Law and Order: SVU star Mariska Hargitay.
- Presenters include Zendaya, Amy Poehler, Matthew McConaughey, Woody Harrelson, Emmy Rossum, John Mulaney, Macaulay Culkin, Alan Cumming, Jon Hamm, David Harbour, Dan Levy, Julianna Margulies and Florence Pugh.
- The evening will also feature a 30th anniversary celebration of Buffy the Vampire Slayer with Sarah Michelle Gellar and David Boreanaz, and a 50th anniversary celebration of Charlie’s Angels with Kate Jackson, Cheryl Ladd and Jaclyn Smith.
We’d also love to hear from you, our readers, about what you think of the event, so please leave a comment (be polite!) and vote in our polls for most outstanding drama, comedy and limited series. I hope you can stick with us for some – or all! – of the event, which I shamelessly love for its celebration of TV.
