Emmy Awards honor the best of TV with father-son duo Eugene and Dan Levy as hosts

The 76th Primetime Emmy Awards were held on September 15, 2024, with Eugene and Dan Levy hosting the event, which celebrated the best in television. The duo humorously opened the show, addressing the complexities of the awards, where streaming services have taken center stage. Dan Levy noted that the Emmys are known for being “broadcast TV’s biggest night for honoring movie stars on streaming services,” emphasizing the changing landscape of television. "Shogun," a series set in feudal Japan, was heavily favored to win best drama and potentially sweep other top awards, having already garnered significant recognition at the Creative Arts Emmy Awards. Meanwhile, "The Bear" was positioned to contend for top comedy honors, with Jeremy Allen White in the running for best actor.

The event marked a return to its traditional mid-September slot after a strike-related postponement earlier in the year. The ceremony took place at the Peacock Theater in downtown Los Angeles and was broadcast live on ABC. For ongoing coverage of the Emmy Awards, viewers were encouraged to visit the AP News website.
