Hollywood stars will gather on Monday night to toast the best of television at the annual Emmy awards, where back-stabbing drama “Succession” will battle South Korean sensation “Squid Game” for the top prize.
The two are competing for the best drama series trophy at the red-carpet ceremony that will be broadcast live on Comcast Corp’s NBC network and streamed on Peacock. Longtime “Saturday Night Live” cast member Kenan Thompson will host the event starting at 5 p.m. local time (8 p.m. Eastern/midnight GMT) in downtown Los Angeles.
Competition is tough, according to awards experts, with several shows and stars back in the running after COVID-related filming disruptions kept them away last year.
“We’re seeing a lot of categories with contenders who have been mainstays for years, and they’re competing against each other,” said Entertainment Weekly editor-in-chief Patrick Gomez.
