The award ceremony where television celebrates television – the Emmys – is set to air Sunday night.
There are plenty of new series and new faces up for the gold statues this year, but do they have a chance against tried and true winners like “Game of Thrones,” and “Veep.”
We'll have to tune in to see.
So how do you do that? Here is what you need to know about the 68th annual Emmy Awards ceremony.
What time is the show?
The actual handing out of awards begins at 8 p.m. on ABC. A countdown to the Emmys comes on at 7 p.m. (ET). E! has a pre-show which begins at 4:30 p.m. (ET) and is hosted by Giuliana Rancic and Jason Kennedy. Red carpet coverage begins at 6 p.m. (ET)
