The 73rd Primetime Emmy Awards will take place on Sunday, September 19, with comedian and The Neighborhood star Cedric The Entertainer taking over for Jimmy Kimmel as host. The Academy Of Television Arts & Sciences is ditching the massive Zoom call this year, as the ceremony will once more be in person, but there will be a limited audience (now you know why you weren’t invited.) Here are TV editor Danette Chavez’s predictions of the winners for the major series awards, including the beyond-tight race in the limited/anthology series category. Look for our Emmys liveblog and news coverage on Sunday, starting at 7:30 p.m. ET.
