Emmy Awards 2020 Date Revealed

It only seems fitting that the date and plans for a forthcoming awards ceremony is revealed while the current awards season is at its peak. So, while the current awards season is all we can talk about, we now have another awards ceremony to look forward to even though it is months and months away.

ABC and the Television Academy have firmed plans for the 2020 Primetime Emmy Awards, scheduling the live telecast for Sunday, Sept. 20. 

That means the Creative Arts ceremonies will take place over two consecutive nights the prior weekend, Sept. 12 and 13. Nominations for the 2020 Emmys will be announced Tuesday, July 14, with all hopeful series and projects having to air in the eligibility window between June 1, 2019 and May 31, 2020. The TV Academy recently announced a few changes to the rules, including news of tightened criteria for voting members.  

Again taking place in Los Angeles, at the Microsoft Theater at L.A. Live, the telecast will air live on both coasts. No host was announced, but the 2019 Emmys on Fox went hostless to dismal rating returns.
