The nominees will be announced in a ceremony broadcast live from 8:30am PT (3:30pm GMT on July 17), after which the final voting for the 76th Emmy Awards will begin on September 15.
The hit series Shogun, The Bear and Baby Reindeer are expected to receive nominations for this year's Emmy Awards.
The nominees will be announced in a ceremony broadcast live from 8:30am PT (3:30pm GMT on July 17), after which the final voting for the 76th Emmy Awards will begin on September 15.
Here are five things to watch out for:
"Shogun" brings the drama
"Shogun" - adapted from the historical novel by James Clavell - transports viewers to Japan at the beginning of the 17th century.
Beginning from the point of view of an English sailor caught in a dead end, the series expands over 10 episodes to encompass the complex and deadly palace politics of the era and deploy a remarkable cast of Japanese heroes and villains.
With two more seasons already in the works, it's a hot favourite in this year's drama categories.
"Because it has everything in terms of acting, writing, directing" and many technical categories, "Shogun" will probably come in first," Deadline awards columnist Pete Hammond told AFP.
"Shogun" faces competition from the final season of Netflix's British royal saga "The Crown" and Apple's "The Morning Show," starring Jennifer Aniston.
"The Bear"
Set in a chaotic Chicago restaurant run by a group of close-knit but rude and sometimes abusive chefs, "The Bear" was the big winner for its debut season at last year's Emmy Awards.
The series returned with an even more ambitious and experimental second season.
Sumptuous montages of Michelin-starred dishes were paired with extraordinary episodes such as "Pisces," an hour-long portrait of a dysfunctional family that falls apart over a harrowing dinner.
Oddly placed in the comedy categories of the Emmy Awards, despite dealing with heavy issues like grief and addiction, "The Bear" is expected to fight back.
He's up against series that include "Hacks," "Abbott Elementary," "Only Murders in the Building" and "Curb Your Enthusiasm."
"Baby Reindeer"
Limited series, which end after one season, is a category always full of hits. But this year, one made a lot more noise than the others.
Netflix's "Baby Reindeer," adapted from Scottish comedian Richard Gad's one-man show about his encounters with an obsessed woman, was a global phenomenon.
The film was billed as a "true story" - a claim that helped attract audiences but sparked a lawsuit by a British woman who claims she inspired the obsessive stalker and is seeking $170 million in damages.
"I don't think the controversy will hurt him in terms of the nominations," Hammond says.
"Baby Reindeer" battles "Fargo," "True Detective," "Ripley" and "Chemistry Lessons."
Déjà vu
It often seems to us that awards like the Emmys come back faster with each passing year. But this time it's really true.
The 76th Emmy Awards, scheduled for Sept. 15, will be the second to be held in 2024 after last year's ceremony was postponed to January due to strikes in Hollywood.
Further complicating matters is that some shows like "The Bear" recently released new seasons that won't be eligible for awards until the 2025 Emmys.
The upcoming edition of the Emmy Awards will honour television series broadcast between June 2023 and May 2024.
Tony Hale ("Veep") and Sheryl Lee Ralph ("Abbott Elementary") will announce the nominations.
Voting members of the US-based Television Academy will have a month to catch up on viewing before the final round of voting takes place in mid-August. | BGNES
