What day is the Emmys 2021?
The Primetime Emmys 2021 will be happening Sunday, September 19 at 8 pm ET. Unlike previous years, this year's ceremony will take place outside with "a limited audience of nominees and their guests," according to a press release.
Who was nominated for the Primetime Emmys 2021?
The nominees for Emmy awards were announced on Tuesday, July 13. Ahead of the big day, the Emmys put out the full list of nominees—including those for the Creative Arts. Some of the most-anticipated nominees include Mare of Easttown, WandaVision, and The Queen's Gambit.
If the Creative Arts Emmys predict anything, then The Queen's Gambit may be expected to sweep the competition. Over the weekend, the limited series dominated the award show taking home nine Emmys.

Who is hosting the Emmys 2021?
In the past, talk show legend Jimmy Kimmel has taken to the stage to host the Emmys. This year though, the award ceremony is switching things up, including the channel it's typically home to.
Rather than use ABC, the Emmys are now home to CBS where comedian Cedric the Entertainer will be taking us through the night's events.
Make sure to tune in on September 19 to see which TV shows win the coveted golden statue—as well as all that red carpet glamour we all love so much!
