Nate Bargatze is set to bring his witty humor and charismatic charm as the host of this year's Emmy Awards. But don't worry, folks; he won't be stealing the spotlight from the stars themselves! Pedro Pascal, Patricia Arquette, and Keri Russell are just a few of the talented nominees who will walk the coveted red carpet.

The A-List Presenters

Get ready for some serious star power as Jenna Ortega, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Jason Bateman, Jennifer Coolidge, Jude Law, Sydney Sweeney, and Sofía Vergara take center stage to present awards. We can't wait to see who they'll be wearing!

The 77th Emmy Awards will take place at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on Sunday

The Nominees: A Star-Studded Lineup

With 27 nominations under its belt, Apple TV+'s Severance is the clear frontrunner for Drama Series of the Year. But don't count out the competition just yet! The Studio, another Apple TV+ hit, has racked up a whopping 23 comedy nominations. Meanwhile, HBO's dark drama The Penguin boasts an impressive 24 limited series nods.

Who Else Made the Cut?

Adam Scott and Britt Lower are both nominated for their dual roles in Severance, while Tramell Tillman gets a nod for his hilarious performance as their supervisor. Ben Stiller is also up for directing, but will he take home the award?

In the comedy category, The Studio leads with 23 nominations, including nods for its A-list guest stars like Martin Scorsese and Ron Howard. But don't forget about Hacks, which scored a respectable 14 nominations.

Reality TV Fans Rejoice!

The nominees for Talk Series are The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, Jimmy Kimmel Live, and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. And for Reality Competition Series, it's a battle between The Amazing Race, RuPaul's Drag Race, Survivor, Top Chef, and The Traitors.

Will the Oscars of Television Live Up to Its Name?

While an impressive average of 10 million people per episode watched Noah Wyle on HBO Max's The Pitt, it's a far cry from the 30 million viewers who tuned in for his hit show ER back in the day. But hey, that's what we love about the Primetime Emmy Awards – they celebrate excellence in television, no matter how niche.
