63rd Primetime Emmy Awards: guide

On Monday morning Australian viewers will get to see the Emmy Awards live to air on FOX8 from 10am AEST.

Hosted by Glee‘s Jane Lynch it will be produced by Reality producer Mark Burnett.

Lynch told the Hollywood Reporter, “Mark has allowed me to have input every step of the way. My good friend Jill Soloway (United States of Tara, Six Feet Under) is the head writer of this thing. My sensibilities and hers are in line. I felt really confident and safe, and I love what we’ve come up with so far. I know that I could go to Mark with anything and say, “I’m not comfortable with this,” but it would never get to that point.”
