While the 2020 Emmy Awards were certainly affected by the pandemic, this year’s ceremony will be largely defined by the shows that helped us get through the dark days of quarantine. On Tuesday morning, the Emmy-winning father-daughter duo Ron Cephas Jones (This Is Us) and Jasmine Cephas Jones (#FreeRayshawn) unveiled the nominations for the 73rd Emmy Awards.
The Television Academy's Board of Governors recently announced a small but notable rule change for this year's Emmys to be more inclusive of gender-noncomforming individuals: A nominee or winner of any acting category can request they be recognized with the more gender-neutral title "Performer" on their nomination certificate and Emmy statuette, although the categories themselves relating to Actor and Actress won't change. Last year's show went almost fully virtual amid the COVID-19 pandemic, but this year's ceremony was hosted by Cedric the Entertainer. The ceremony was live-streamed on Emmy® OTT platform powered by Vimeo with more than twenty-five categories celebrated on the telecast and on social media. The Daytime Emmy® Awards Fiction & Lifestyle ceremony was hosted by Emmy® award-winning talk show host, author and comedian Loni Love. This was her second time hosting one of our Daytime programs. Other presenters on the telecast included boxing world champion, author and lifestyle TV personality Laila Ali, Francisco Hernández Cáceres (Un Nuevo Dia, Telemundo), Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs (A House Divided, UMC [ALLBLK]) and Jodi Long (Dash & Lily, Netflix).
Below, we dive into the biggest winners from Tuesday’s nominees.
