It’s television’s biggest night once again as the 69th annual Emmy Awards kick off Sunday night, September 17, live from the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, California, with Late Show host Stephen Colbert set to host the proceedings for the first time. But those series will face stiff competition from HBO’s other heavy-hitter, the Anthony Hopkins-starring sci-fi drama Westworld, as well as from Hulu’s The Handmaid’s Tale, and NBC’s ensemble weepy This Is Us, the latter of which hopes to become the first Best Series Emmy-winner for a broadcast network since Fox’s 24 picked up the honor in 2006.
