Emmy Awards

Emmy nomination-round voting opened Thursday: Cue the sizzle reel!

As Peter White writes for Deadline, there’s a good chance that TV Academy rules will limit its Outstanding Talk Series nominees to just three shows, while Outstanding Scripted Variety Series is all but assured to be a two-horse race between Last Week Tonight and SNL.

Kimmel took time out during his Emmys Tribute to Bob Newhart to (jokingly) call out his late-night rival.

The producers of Sunday night’s Primetime Emmy Awards tell Deadline they’ve got a “great moment” planned with former Emmys host Jimmy Kimmel.
