Television’s biggest night returns with the 78th Primetime Emmy Awards, celebrating the best in television from standout stories, performances and creators of the year.
Mariska Hargitay, the longtime Law & Order: Special Victims Unit star and a three-time Emmy winner, is hosting the show. She is the first woman to host the Emmys in 15 years, following Jane Lynch in 2011.
The ceremony will also celebrate the 30th anniversary of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and the 50th anniversary of Charlie’s Angels, with cast members among the presenters.
Ahead of the ceremony, The Pitt leads all nominees with 25 nods, while Hacks leads all comedies with 24 for its final season.
The emergency room series The Pitt won big last year, including wins for best drama series, best actor for Noah Wyle and best supporting actress for Katherine LaNasa.
Wyle was nominated again, as was LaNasa. Taylor Dearden, Fiona Dourif and Sepideh Moafi also got nominations, with The Pitt taking four of the seven supporting actress spots.
Three of their castmates were also nominated for best supporting actor including Patrick Ball, Shawn Hatosy and Gerran Howell.
Hacks star Jean Smart has won best actress in a comedy for all four previous seasons. Her co-star Hannah Einbinder, who won supporting actress in a comedy last year, got a fifth nomination, as did her castmate, the show’s co-creator Paul W. Downs.
