Nominees for the 2024 Emmy Awards were among the stars gracing the red carpet ahead of Monday night’s award show.
Lengthy strikes last summer and fall by members of Hollywood’s two major writers and actors unions led to the delay of the Emmys, which are normally held held in September. Monday night’s show, which comes a week after the 81st Golden Globes, marks the 75th Emmys. Actor and comedian Anthony Anderson is set to host.
This year’s Emmys ceremony takes place at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. The show airs from 8-11 p.m. ET (5-8 p.m. PT) on FOX. The Emmys in creative arts categories were awarded on Jan. 6; see the complete list of those winners here.
E! began a countdown to the red carpet at 5 p.m. ET (2 p.m. PT) and is set to kick off live red carpet coverage, hosted by Laverne Cox, at 6 p.m. ET (3 p.m. PT). People and Entertainment Weekly are also hosting a red carpet show that will stream on their websites and YouTube pages at 6 p.m. ET (3 p.m. PT).
