After being forced to shift last year’s awards online due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this year’s ceremony will be hosted in the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles. Only a small group of nominees and their guests will be permitted to attend.
A show must have aired between June 1, 2020, and May 31, 2021, to be eligible for this year’s categories. Additionally, those nominated in the actor or actress category can now request that their nomination certificate and Emmy trophy be inscribed with the word “performer” instead of “actor or actress.”
The big night will take place on September 19 (Sunday). It will be available to watch on CBS and Paramount+. The 73rd Emmy Awards will be hosted by Cedric the Entertainer.
