Hey there, TV fans! Guess what? The much-anticipated 2018 Emmy nominations have finally been announced, and it’s a star-studded lineup. On Thursday, July 12, we got the official word on which shows and stars made the list. Tonight, we’ll all be glued to our screens as the industry’s best and brightest gather for the big event. Are you ready for what promises to be an unforgettable night?
Now, let’s talk about one of the biggest surprises this year: the case of "Roseanne." Many folks thought the reboot would sweep the awards after its massive ratings success. But then, well, you know what happened—its controversial cancellation in May threw a wrench into things. While Laurie Metcalf did snag a well-deserved nod for Outstanding Supporting Actress, the show itself didn’t make it onto the Outstanding Comedy Series list. Life can be unpredictable, huh?
The Emmys are set to air tonight, Monday, September 17, at 8 p.m. EST on NBC, and they’re bringing in the comedic duo of Saturday Night Live stars Colin Jost and Michael Che to host the festivities. Whether you're tuning in for the drama, the laughs, or the stunning acceptance speeches, it’s going to be a night to remember. So, grab your popcorn, and let’s see who takes home the gold!
