The 2020 Emmy Awards ceremony will take place on September 20, broadcast by ABC. Hosted by popular late night television host Jimmy Kimmel, the 72nd Primetime Emmy Awards will be held virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Netflix has bagged the most nominations for this year’s Emmys with a record high 160 nominations. Its rival HBO has secured 107 nominations, although these Emmy nods are from just 21 programs, which is less than half that of Netflix. Other streaming services are trailing behind, like Amazon Prime with their 20 nominations. A newcomer to the streaming landscape, Disney+ has scored 19 nominations, and Apple TV+ has garnered 18 nominations. “Watchmen” leads this year’s nominees with 11 nominations in major categories, followed by “Succession” with 10 and “Ozark” with nine nominations.
As you gear up for the event, we’ve compiled a complete list of the nominees as well as where you can check out all the Emmy nominated shows.
