The 74th Emmy Awards is all set to be held on September 12, at the Microsoft Theatre in Los Angeles. But before that this year's Emmy nominees were announced on Tuesday, August 23.

The nominations list includes some of the most interesting names with "Succession," "Ted Lasso" and "The White Lotus" earning the most nominations. "Squid Game" has earned 14 nods that is the most ever for a foreign-language show.

Over 17,000 voting members of the TV academy are eligible to decide the nominees and winners in 14 categories, including drama, comedy and limited series. The peer groups have been given the task to take the final call for the acting awards, including lead, supporting, guest actors, directing, writing and other individual areas of achievement.

The Emmys with a total of 118 awards with winners in 25 key categories including best drama and comedy series is a huge affair. Thus, the process has been divided into several parts. Here's all you need to know about the event.

When are the 2022 Emmys?

On September 12, the roughly three-hour ceremony will begin at 8 pm EDT and air live on NBC. Viewers can also watch the live streaming for free on Peacock streaming service. The winners in 25 categories will be announced during the broadcast ceremony, however, the rest of the winners will be announced between the September 3 and 4 creative arts awards.
