After a two-year-long hiatus, the Emmy Awards ceremony is finally returning to the stage and small screen. In 2020 and 2021, the Governors Balls were replaced with smaller-scale celebrations at the Television Academy’s North Hollywood headquarters.
NBC will be airing the event this year — the host network is chosen by a rotating roster that changes every year — meaning that the event will air on Monday, as it has the past few times NBC has aired it, in order to allow the network to air NFL Sunday Night Football as usual.
This year’s ceremony is expected to return to its former venue, the Microsoft Theater (formerly Nokia Theatre L.A. Live) this year as well. So far, no one has been tapped to host the event.
Several minor rule changes will come into effect this year, including a realignment of qualifications that will allow inclusion for specific genres rather than what time of day a program aired and the elimination of qualifying time lengths for certain programs. The Academy has also redefined what qualifies as a limited series.
The official Emmy timeline runs as follows:
