What Time, TV Channel Are the Emmys 2018? How to Watch, Stream Online

Television's biggest night has come as the 70th annual Primetime Emmy Awards is slated to take over the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, California, on Monday. Since Saturday Night Live stars ‎Michael Che‎ and ‎Colin Jost are signed on to host the ceremony, TV aficionados are not going to want to miss seeing the night unfold.

The nominees list is stacked this year, which will make for some tough competition. Monday's battle appears to be between non-traditional television services since the popular streaming service of Netflix secured more nominations than premium service HBO. Netflix staples like Stranger Things and The Crown allowed the service to score 112 nods, whereas HBO's 108 nods were due to programs like Westworld and Game of Thrones.

There are several buzz-worthy nominees on this year's lineup. Surprise nods went to actors like Sandra Oh for Killing Eve, which makes her the first Asian woman to be recognized in the lead actress in a drama category. Viewers won't see actors like Kyle MacLachlan honored for his efforts in Twin Peaks: The Return, which proved to be an upset snub. Modern Family, which is known as an Emmy darling, was ignored as well.

With all this in mind, Monday's ceremony is slated to be a can't-miss event. Here's everything worth knowing about how to watch, live stream information and more.

Nominees to Look Out For

Monday's ceremony will be a battle to determine the best of the best in each major competing category. The potential bloodbath between Netflix and HBO is worth closely examining since 2018's ceremony marks the first year Netflix surpassed HBO in nominations.

While Oh's nomination for Killing Eve is historic, she has tough competition in steady winner Elisabeth Moss for her part in Hulu's The Handmaid's Tale. According to expert predictions from Gold Derby, The Handmaid's Tale has even been placed as the likely nominee to win for best drama as well. What may prove to shock viewers is which show wins for outstanding comedy series since there's no clear winner. Buzzy shows like Atlanta, black-ish, Curb Your Enthusiasm and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel are set to go against each other in this category. Gold Derby odds, however, place Atlanta as the likely winner with The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel as a close second.
