The 2024 Emmys are taking place this weekend, with controversial Netlix miniseries Baby Reindeer and historical Japan-set drama Shōgun among the frontrunners.

The three-hour ceremony is taking place at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles and will begin at 8pm ET (midnight GMT). A live broadcast will stream on ABC while the show will be available to watch the next day on Hulu.

This year’s event is being hosted for the first time by father-son duo Eugene and Dan Levy, who co-created and starred in the hit series Schitt’s Creek.

“We’re going to keep it light and bright,” Dan Levy told the Los Angeles Times, while his father added: “You’re setting a tone, and it’s our tone. It is what it is.

“It’s kind of tricky when you’re in the weeds, but ultimately we have to be ourselves and go with what we think is funny.”

Awards presenters will include Hollywood legend and Mary Poppins star Dick Van Dyke, 97, along with Allison Janney, Martin Sheen, Matt Bomer, Lily Gladstone and Kristen Wiig.

Emmys 2024 predictions: Who will win, and who should win, from The Bear to Baby Reindeer

Do not scratch your eyes or start tearing up your calendar: it really is time for the Emmys again already.

The illustrious awards show, sometimes billed as television’s equivalent of the Academy Awards, is back for the second time within the space of nine months, after the writers’ and actors’ strikes delayed last year’s ceremony until January 2024.

This year’s crop of frontrunners includes Chicago-set restaurant dramedy The Bear, which took home major prizes back in January, historical Japan-set drama Shōgun, and Baby Reindeer, the controversial Netflix miniseries created by comedian Richard Gadd.

In order to qualify for the awards, shows must have aired in the US between 1 June 2023 and 31 May 2024. In the case of The Bear, this means that it is being judged on its second season, not its most recent third, which debuted back in June.

In the comedy categories, The Bear is up against school faculty sitcom Abbott Elementary, generation-gap comedy Hacks and Hulu’s starry mystery comedy Only Murders in the Building, among others.

Baby Reindeer review: This twisty, complex drama about a real-life stalking case is something very special

Despite its origins in the world of stand-up comedy and its listing on Netflix as ‘offbeat’, this show is no mere quirky look at London’s comedy scene. Instead, it is a descent into the blackness of abuse and the residues of trauma
