Sunday 18th September, 2016, Jimmy Kimmel will host the 2016 Emmy Awards at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles. This year’s list of nominees, as always, includes a mix of obvious contenders (Game of Thrones and The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story
are unsurprisingly leading the nominations, and many are already saying
Sarah Paulson is practically a lock to win the Emmy), some newcomers
(such as Mr. Robot’s Rami Malek and Tom Hiddleston for his performance in The Night Manager), and a few surprise curveballs—The Americans finally got its due, but no nods for Samantha Bee?!
