It’s that time of year again.
On Sunday night comedian Stephen Colbert of CBS’s The Late Show will host the 2017 Emmy Awards, officially the 69th running of the primetime ceremony (not to be confused with its daytime sibling).
Which shows, actors and actresses will go home with a statuette? We won’t know until later tonight, but the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences has already given its nod to many deserving contenders. (Among them: NBC’s Saturday Night Live and HBO’s Westworld, both of which earned 22 nominations each.)
As an industry, entertainment and media companies face a complicated outlook. Mature segments like film, pay television, and TV advertising are under pressure; digital viewing is on the rise, but at a slowing pace. PricewaterhouseCoopers predicts that global entertainment and media industry revenue will rise from $1.8 trillion in 2016 to $2.2 trillion in 2021; in the U.S., it’s expected to increase from $635 billion in 2016 to $759 billion by 2021.
Still, keep an eye out for tech giants turned entertainment innovators. Here’s what to expect from Netflix, Amazon, and Hulu at this year’s ceremony. (And here’s our look at what an Emmy win is worth.)
The CBS broadcast from the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles begins at 8 p.m. Eastern. (Here’s how to watch it online.) Until then, here’s a look at who’s in the mix:
