We’re one step closer to TV’s biggest night: the Emmys!
Hosted by Law & Order: SVU star Mariska Hargitay, the 78th Emmy Awards are set to air live on NBC on Monday, Sept. 14 at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT, with streaming available on Peacock. Emmy winners Liza Colón-Zayas (The Bear) and Jeff Hiller (Somebody, Somewhere) have been tapped to announce this year’s Emmy Award nominees at 11:30 a.m. ET/8:30 a.m. PT today.
Over the past few months, DECIDER has had the opportunity to spotlight some of our favorite Emmy hopefuls, including HBO’s cult hit Industry, Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette breakout Paul Anthony Kelly, and Widow’s Bay scene-stealer Kate O’Flynn.
While you can head to the official website of the Emmys to listen live to Colón-Zayas and Hiller read out this year’s Emmy nominees, DECIDER’s got you covered, as we update the list of the 2026 Primetime Emmy nominees in real time. Check out the list below.
