Who is hosting the 75th Primetime Emmy Awards?
This year, Anthony Anderson who is well-known for his performance in the show 'Black-ish' is serving as the host of the Emmys 2024.
In the past, the famed comedian and actor Kenan Thompson has hosted the star-studded event.
Why are the 2023 Emmy Awards taking place now?
In 2023, the strikes by the Writers Guild of America and Screen Actors Guild caused a shutdown in Hollywood for several months.
Due to the ongoing actor's strike, the Emmy ceremony was rescheduled to January, allowing nominees to attend without concerns about crossing a picket line.
The awards being given tonight are for the previous year. The 2024 Emmy Awards will be broadcast in September, but the exact date is still unknown.
