Euphoria, Stranger Things and Squid Game are up for 2022 Emmy awards. Here's who's nominated and how to watch it in Australia

It's been a few months since the Oscars and we all know how that went. 

Thankfully, award season is a year-long event, giving the film and television industry multiple chances to redeem itself — the 74th Emmy Awards is one of them. 

Here's when they're on, how to watch them, and who'll be vying for television's top prizes.

When are the Emmys 2022?

The Emmys started today at 10am AEST.

Where are they being held? 

This year's Emmys are being held and broadcast at the Microsoft Theater in Downtown Los Angeles, California. 

The awards ceremony rotates annually between four different broadcasters in the US.

This year, it's NBC's turn to broadcast the event.

How do I watch the Emmys in Australia?

The Emmy Awards will air live on Foxtel Arena and Foxtel On Demand. 

For those who are unable to watch it live, Foxtel also offers a repeat screening at 8:30pm.

If you're keen to catch a glimpse of all the glitz and glam, E! Entertainment's coverage of the red carpet will be broadcast two hours ahead of the main event. 

Who is hosting?

Kenan Thompson will take the stage to host this year's event. 

The American actor and comedian is best known for starring in NBC's Saturday Night Live since 2003, making him the longest-tenured cast member in the show's history. 

Highly regarded for his acting skills and comedic talents, Thompson is one of the most beloved stars of the industry. 

Who is presenting?

The first 20 celebrity presenters for the 2022 Emmys were announced on Wednesday by the Television Academy.

Among them are: Kelly Clarkson, Ariana DeBose, Selena Gomez, Squid Game’s Jung Ho-yeon & Lee Jung-jae, Jimmy Kimmel, Seth Meyers, Amy Poehler, Jean Smart and Kerry Washington.

Who is nominated? Who are the frontrunners?

A plethora of fan favourites and Emmy newcomers alike are up for nominations this year. 

Notably, HBO's Succession is leading the pack with 25 nominations — the most of any project this year.

The White Lotus has a similar shot with 20 nominations. 

Nominated for best drama, Squid Game stands to make history again after already becoming the first non-English-language show to compete in the category.

On the comedic side of things, Apple TV Plus’s Ted Lasso, the Jason Sudeikis soccer comedy, landed 20 nominations and is primed to win big.

And last but never least, Zendaya has yet again been nominated for Euphoria in four categories — including being the youngest person ever to be nominated as a producer.

In 2020, the then 25-year-old made history as the youngest person to ever win a Best Actress Emmy.

Sydney Sweeney also received her first-ever Emmy nomination for both Euphoria and The White Lotus.
