Emmy nominations 2020 - Succession, Ozark, Watchmen among top contenders at this year's awards
Roll out the red carpet – the Emmy nominations are in for this year's 72nd ceremony.
Now that all the Emmy Award nominees have been announced (virtually), preparation for the 72nd annual ceremony can officially begin, with just under two months to go until the big day.
This year's Emmy Awards, which will be broadcast on ABC on Monday 21st September, will be presented by chat show host Jimmy Kimmel, making 2020 his third year hosting the event.
With the nominations event having occurred via livestream due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, it's currently unclear whether by September, this year's Emmy Awards will be able to go ahead as usual or not.
Virtual or not, this year's event is bound to be hotly contested, now that previous Emmy-magnets like Game of Thrones and Fleabag are out of the race.
Succession, Ozark, Watchmen are among the top contenders in the drama genre, bagging three nominations each across all categories.
Meanwhile, over in comedy, Netflix dominates with nominations for Dead to Me, The Kominsky Method and Schitt's Creek, while fellow US hits Blackish and The Good Place have also earned nods.
