The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences’ 72nd annual Emmy Awards will be presented Sept.20, but who will be in the running? On Tuesday, Leslie Jones (« SNL »), Laverne Cox (« Orange is the New Black »), Josh Gad (« Frozen ») and Tatiana Maslany (« Orphan Black ») unveiled the nominees — both in front of and behind the camera. It’s unlikely that the coronavirus pandemic will have impacted too many of the nominations this year, as the majority of TV shows are shot well ahead of their air date. Shows that are included in this year’s selection of nominees had to have aired or been made available on a streaming platform between June 1, 2019 and May 31, 2020. This year’s Emmys were already expected to be different from years past, as a number of high-profile shows that often swept their categories have ended. « Game of Thrones, » « Veep » and « Fleabag » are just three of the shows that will be absent from awards contention.
