The Boys, Mandalorian, WandaVision & More Score Big: 2021 Emmy Noms

Before Cedric the Entertainer (The Neighborhood) can host the 73rd Annual Primetime Emmy Awards on CBS (and streaming on Paramount+) on Sunday, September 19, there's one very important thing that needs to happen. We need nominees. Thankfully, the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences and father-daughter hosts & 2020 Emmys winners Ron Cephas Jones (This Is Us) and Jasmine Cephas Jones (#FreeRayshawn) took care of that on Tuesday. Joining them were Academy chairman and CEO Frank Scherma and president and COO Maury McIntyre. Recognizing the best in small-screen programming that aired between June 1, 2020, and May 31, 2021, this year's ceremony will be held in-person at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, with a limited audience of nominees and their guests. From The Boys and The Mandalorian to Perry Mason and I May Destroy You… from Lovecraft Country and WandaVision to Bridgeton, Cobra Kai & Pose… there's a lot to unpack.

"Since I was a little boy huddled up next to my grandmother, television has always been my reliable friend, so it is an enormous honor for me to host this year's Emmy Awards," said Cedric the Entertainer. 'Throughout the roller-coaster of a year that we have all lived through, television has helped us stay connected as a society like never before. It not only entertained us, but as it always has, it helped to open our eyes, educate us, and hopefully brought about a better understanding of who we are as a people. I can't wait to take the stage to celebrate all of the great shows and performances that made us laugh, cry, dance and sing over the past year.'
