The 2017 Emmy Awards are upon us, airing live this Sunday, September 17, at 8 pm Eastern/5 pm Pacific on CBS, though you can also watch the show online at CBS All Access. Stephen Colbert is set to host.
One of the major stories this time around is in the drama categories. Stalwarts like Downton Abbey and Game of Thrones aren’t in the running this year — the former ended before last year’s awards, and the latter didn’t air its season within the eligibility window. (The same goes for the Twin Peaks revival, which won’t be eligible until the 2018 awards.)
As a result, new shows like Westworld, and Stranger Things were able to grab plenty of nominations — Westworld tied Saturday Night Live for the most nominations across the board, at 22, and Stranger Things earned 18.
