Get ready for an exciting event that will make the wait for the Primetime Emmy Awards worth it! Despite the ongoing strikes, we can’t overlook the incredible work of Emmy-worthy creatives. Join us for the Contenders Television: The Nominees virtual livestream event, starting this Saturday at 10 a.m. PT.
While streamers dominate the picket lines, cable networks like HBO, Showtime, AMC, and FX have racked up the nominations this year. We’ll have discussions with the talented individuals behind watercooler hits like “Succession” and “House of the Dragon.” Find out how the “Game of Thrones” prequel expanded on the original world and focused on the Targaryens. And let’s not forget about “Succession” – we may even ask if Kendall should have jumped into the Hudson at the end of the series!
Apple TV+ is also a strong contender this year, with four frontrunners for trophies. Don’t miss our panels on “Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie,” “Black Bird,” “Schmigadoon!,” and “Ted Lasso.”
If comedies and dramas aren’t your thing, we’ve got you covered with unscripted shows like “The Territory,” “RuPaul’s Drag Race,” and “Taste the Nation with Padma Lakshmi.”
And of course, we can’t forget about “Saturday Night Live.” Join us for a chat with the director and music director of this iconic show.
