The Emmy Awards — or rather the 'Oscars of television' — sees stars from the past year's most acclaimed shows take to the red carpet then try to look pleased when they lose. From the Handmaid's Tale to Game of Thrones, Phoebe Waller-Bridge to Henry Winkley, there's some stiff competition for the angels later this autumn.

Here's everything you need to know about the ceremony...


What time are the Emmy Awards 2019 on TV?

The 71st annual Emmy Awards will air live from the Microsoft Theater at L.A. LIVE in Los Angeles on Sunday 22nd September at 1am BST. While US viewers can watch over on Fox, it is not expected that it will be broadcast for UK viewers.

However, you can watch via the Emmys website, Facebook page, YouTube channel and additionally the red carpet arrivals will be shown via the E! YouTube channel.

Who is hosting the Emmy Awards 2019?

The Emmy Awards will have no host this year, just as the most recent Oscars didn't after Kevin Hart dropped out from the hosting gig. Fox CEO Charlie Collier announced in August that there would be no host, but that there would still be "an opening number", Entertainment Weekly reported.

Asked whether anyone was approached to host the show, Collier said: “We’ve had a lot of names on the board but the conclusion was reached this year that we’re highlighting so many shows going away that it was a better use of the time [to focus on the shows].

“There will be entertainment. There will be an opening number. If you look at the trade-offs in a show like the Emmys, so often its a trade-off between the opening acts and using the time elsewhere. There will be many surprises. It will be entertaining.”

Who is nominated for an Emmy Award 2019?

A slate of British actors and artists have been nominated this year, with Phoebe Waller-Bridge's Fleabag season two nominated for 11 Emmys, with acting nods for Sian Clifford, Olivia Colman and Waller-Bridge herself.

There are nods for Game of Thrones' Kit Harington, Richard Madden for Bodyguard and Jodie Comer of Killing Eve, while Game of Thrones has a whopping 32 nominations overall in the drama categories.
