The 2022 Primetime Emmy Awards will be held live, indoors and in front of a full studio audience for the first time in two years.
The much-anticipated award show celebrates the crème de la crème of television and it typically draws a full house, but the format of the ceremony shifted slightly during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.
In 2020, Jimmy Kimmel emceed a socially distanced ceremony in front of a mostly empty Staples Center in Los Angeles. A year later, the 2021 Emmys were hosted outside to allow for social distancing.
This year signals a return to normalcy for the show since it will be held in a large auditorium once again. Getting excited already? Here's everything you need to know about watching the 74th Primetime Emmy Awards, including the nominees.
You can tune in to see all the action on Monday, Sept. 12 at 5 p.m. PT/8 p.m. ET.
Yes, normally award shows fall on a Sunday night - but it's football season. NBC airs Sunday Night Football, bumping the Emmys to a Monday.
Hollywood's hottest stars will descend on downtown Los Angeles to attend the Emmys at the Microsoft Theater, a venue that has 7,100 seats.
Whether you have cable or not, you can still watch the ceremony. Cable subscribers can tune in on NBC on TV or stream the ceremony on NBC.com by logging in through their cable provider. The ceremony will also stream on Peacock.
Cord-cutters, or those without a cable subscription, can also access the ceremony through subscription services like Hulu Live TV, YouTubeTV, AT&T TV and FuboTV. Many offer a free trial.

While chatting with Hoda and Savannah Guthrie, Thompson also revealed that he has a musical number in the works with Lizzo for the big show.
