Emmy Awards 2014: guide

The 66th Primetime Emmy Awards take place on Tuesday (Australian time) with a Live broadcast on FOX8.

They will not be screened on Free to Air but www.emmys.com should be streaming coverage.

The event has changed from Sunday to Monday in the US due to avoid clashes with football and MTV’s VMAs.

Other changes this year include separating the Outstanding Miniseries and Movie categories, plus Reality now split into structured (Antiques Roadshow, MythBusters) and unstructured (Pawn Stars, Duck Dynasty). More conventional Reality shows are already grouped together as Competition (ie. Survivor, Amazing Race).

I’ll tip some wins here for: Breaking Bad, Matthew McConaughey, Julianna Margulies and The Normal Heart.

VENUE:
Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles

HOST:
Seth Meyers
