Not even a global pandemic can stand between actors and their shiny accolades: the 72nd Annual Emmy Awards will go on as planned. On Tuesday, Leslie Jones announced the 2020 Emmy nominations from a royal blue void as actors like Laverne Cox, Josh Gad, and Tatiana Maslany appeared on screen via video chat behind her to help list those names. If anyone could find some humor in these socially distant days, with a task as mundane as reciting the titles of prestige televisions shows, it’s Jones. She should host the whole show.
The Regina King-led comic book adaptation The Watchmen leads nominations with 26, while in the drama category, Succession stans will be happy to hear the show earned 18 nods—the same as Ozark. In comedy, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel picked up 20, which still isn’t enough to get me to watch that show. But I’m mostly excited for Zendaya, who scored a Lead Actress in a Drama Series nomination for her role in Euphoria. It’s her first-ever!
The 2020 Emmys will air Sunday, September 20 on ABC with host Jimmy Kimmel, who is not Leslie Jones. For the full list of nominations, click here. To see only the categories you actually care about, scroll down.
