Emmys 2019: How to Watch, Who's Nominated, And Everything Else to Know

The 71st Primetime Emmy Awards take place Sunday, Sept. 22, starting at 8 p.m. ET. But although the show hasn't officially taken place yet, there have already been gobs of 2019 Emmy winners announced in the creative arts and technical categories. Based on the list of nominees for the Emmy Awards, the big show is bound to be an entertaining and talked-about event.

Sure, Game of Thrones is probably set to lay one last claim to the proverbial Iron Throne and walk away with a lot of trophies from its record-setting deluge of nominations -- yes, probably even for the categories fans had the most issues with during Season 8 -- but there are also plenty of deserving shows to watch out for after they landed their first Emmy nominations, like Fleabag, Pose, and Schitt's Creek.

Meanwhile, Television Academy favorites like Barry, Better Call Saul (even if Rhea Seehorn got robbed), This Is Us, and Veepwill also be well represented in multiple categories, and a few strong freshman series made the cut, like Russian Doll and Dead to Me. Overall, this year's crop of nominees delivered some mostly pleasant surprises, capping off a stellar year in TV.
