The 2025 Emmy Awards are finally here to celebrate this year’s greatest achievements in television. If you’re planning to watch the star-studded show live, keep reading to learn all the ways to view the 77th annual ceremony on cable, streaming services and for free.
Comedian Nate Bargatze will be hosting the star-studded ceremony, which will air live from the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. Bargatze told CBS News that he’s honored and excited to host the awards show, saying “you kind of dream of like hosting some kind of award show… it’s very flattering to even get asked to do it.”
He continued, “I’m used to performing in front of live people, not an audience like this of all the people that you know. So, it will be fun to get in there, get on stage, get that first joke, hear that first laugh and then just get running and just really make your own of it.”
The 77th Emmy Award nominations were announced on July 14. Apple TV+’s Severance topped the list with 27 nominations, while The Penguin followed close behind at 24. Apple TV+’s The Studio and HBO’s The White Lotus tied with 23 nominations each.
The Studio also tied the record (with The Bear in 2024) for the most nominations in a single year for a comedy series. The Apple TV+ hit is up for Best Comedy Series against Abbott Elementary, The Bear, Hacks, Nobody Wants This, Only Murders in the Building, Shrinking and What We Do in the Shadows.
