77th Emmy Awards Viewing Guide: How to Watch, Pre-Show, Noms & More

With the pre-show set for 7 pm ET, here's a look at our viewing guide to the 77th Emmy Awards, hosted by comedian and actor Nate Bargatze.

Earlier this summer, Harvey Guillén, Brenda Song, and Television Academy Chair Cris Abrego announced the nominees for the 77th Emmy Awards. When the dust settled, Apple TV+'s Severance walked away with 27 noms, while The Studio picked up 23 noms. HBO's The Penguin pulled in 24, The White Lotus locked down 23 noms, and The Last of Us pulled 16 noms. In addition, Disney+'s Andor and HBO Max's Hacks scored 14 noms each, while Netflix's Adolescence, Hulu's The Bear, and HBO Max's The Pitt took on 13 noms.
