‘Shogun,’ ‘The Bear’ and ‘Baby Reindeer’ are at the top of the queue as the Emmys arrive

The 76th Primetime Emmy Awards promise to be a night of excitement, with shows like Shogun, The Bear, and Baby Reindeer leading the charge. Returning to their traditional mid-September spot after last year's strike-induced delay, the Emmys will take place at the Peacock Theater in downtown Los Angeles. Hosting the event will be the beloved father-son duo, Eugene and Dan Levy, stars of the Emmy-winning Schitt's Creek.

Among the most anticipated moments of the evening is the potential sweep by Shogun. With 14 Creative Arts Emmy wins already under its belt, the series, set in feudal Japan, has the chance to extend its record by claiming up to six more awards. If any show can challenge Shogun for the best drama prize, it’s The Crown, which is vying for its final season to take the spotlight. Hiroyuki Sanada and Anna Sawai, both nominated for their roles in Shogun, could make history as the first Japanese actors to win Emmys.

In the comedy category, all eyes are on The Bear. Having dominated the January Emmys for its first season, the show is expected to repeat its success for season two. Jeremy Allen White is favoured for best actor, while Ayo Edebiri, moving into the lead actress category, will compete with veteran Jean Smart of Hacks.

Meanwhile, the limited series category has its own fierce competition. Jodie Foster could win her first Emmy for True Detective: Night Country, while Baby Reindeer has emerged as a surprise contender for top awards, including best actor for creator Richard Gadd.

The awards will be streamed live in India on September 16 at 5 am. Indian viewers can catch the event on Lionsgate Play. The show With star power, surprises, and groundbreaking moments on the horizon, the 2024 Emmys are shaping up to be an unforgettable celebration of television’s best.
