The 74th Emmy Awards will be held Sept. 12, airing live on NBC

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The 74th Emmy Awards will be held Sept. 12, airing live on NBC.

Nominations for the best in TV will be announced July 12, the television academy and network said Wednesday. The ceremony's host, producers and other details will be announced later.

The Emmys will be held on a Monday, not the usual Sunday, because of “NBC Sunday Night Football.”

Last year's ceremony, hosted by Cedric the Entertainer on CBS, had a limited in-person theater audience because of COVID-19 concerns. But it was closer to business as usual after 2020's largely virtual event on ABC with host Jimmy Kimmel.

The Emmys rotate among the major broadcast networks, including Fox, although the awards themselves have increasingly gone to cable and, more recently, to streaming services as well.

The 2021 Emmys drew more than 7.4 million viewers, a turn-around after an all-time low viewership of just under 6.4 million in 2020. Ratings for awards ceremonies generally have slipped over the years, the pandemic aside.

‘Ghost Soldier’ Review: Jim Caviezel Is a Superheroic Soldier in an Uninspired, Retrograde Actioner

If “Walk Hard” was the parody that made it harder to take seriously subsequent music biopics, “MacGruber” did the same for a certain subset of action movies. Directed by William Eubank (“Underwater”), “Ghost Soldier” stacks up one-man-army cliches as early as the opening credits and continues as if no one’s ever told the story of […]
