With the nominations round of Emmy voting complete, the anticipation now shifts to the announcement of the nominees in July.

The duo will lead the nominations ceremony on Wednesday, July 17, at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood. The event will be live-streamed on the Television Academy’s Emmy website.
Television Academy chair Cris Abrego expressed his enthusiasm for the upcoming event, stating, “While this year has been marked by significant challenges for our industry and its workforce, there has been an abundance of remarkable programs, extraordinary performances, and impactful storytelling. Great television relies on the contributions of so many, and we are delighted to have Tony and Sheryl help us acknowledge excellence across our field as we embark on a season of tremendous celebration.”
