65th Primetime Emmy Awards: guide

On Monday morning (Australian time) the 65th Primetime Emmy Awards will be hosted by Neil Patrick Harris from the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles.

They will air Live on FOX8 from 10am AEST with a primetime replay. There is no Free to Air broadcast again this year.

Harris is tipped to appear in at least one musical number, with rumours of a “binge viewing” moment as he gets up to speed on all the nominees. Executive producer Ken Ehrlich wouldn’t discuss the opening, saying only that “the show will open in a way that is definitely not expected.”
