Emmys® ~ The Show Will Go On

The Emmys® nominations will go on this year. The drama and comedy is a source of sanity, entertainment, and human connection with social distancing. Laverne Cox, Josh Gad, and Leslie Jones present the Emmys® nominees with a live virtual event.

“Television has played an integral role in navigating these unprecedented times and has brought us together as we remain apart,” said Frank Scherma, Television Academy chairman and CEO. The Emmys® nominations went on without a hitch.
