Television’s
biggest night is going viral. While many award shows have been disrupted due to
the ongoing pandemic, the 72nd Emmy Awards are scheduled to air LIVE on
September 20 at 5:30 am IST on ABC, or on Hulu with Live TV. However, like
everything this year, they’ll also be a little different than what you’re
normally used to.

The 72nd
annual Emmy Awards are not being held at the Microsoft Theatre in the downtown
Los Angeles, but rather virtually.

When are the
2020 Emmys, and how can you watch them?

Every year,
the Emmy air in mid to late September, and despite how difficult and different
this year has been, the 2020 Emmys are sticking to this particular tradition. The
ceremony is set to last three hours – from 5:30 am- 8:30 am (IST) on September
20.

tapped to host the ceremony for a third time, after his well-received hosting
stints in 2012 and 2016.

which gives out awards in a wide variety of categories from reality television
to scripted shows.
