Eugene and Dan Levy Host Primetime Emmy Awards 2024

Television enthusiasts are gearing up for a night of glamour and entertainment as Eugene Levy and Dan Levy, the renowned father-son duo from Canada, are set to host the 76th Primetime Emmy Awards. The event promises to bring together the best talents from across the small screen, with the Levys adding their unique blend of humor and charm to the evening.

A significant highlight of this year’s Emmys is the show “Shōgun,” which has received a remarkable 25 nominations. This historical drama set in 17th-century Japan demonstrates the continued strength of narratives that explore rich and complex cultural histories. Alongside “Shōgun,” “The Bear,” a contemporary comedy-drama about chefs working in a Chicago restaurant, is also a strong contender, having accumulated 23 nominations.

Leading up to tonight’s main event, several awards have already been distributed. The Creative Arts Emmys, held earlier, celebrated achievements in various technical categories, with “Shōgun” securing 14 wins and “The Bear” following closely with seven. Among those recognized was Jamie Lee Curtis, awarded for her guest appearance on “The Bear.”

In a notable achievement, the award ceremony saw songwriters Benj Pasek and Justin Paul achieve EGOT status for their work on “Only Murders in the Building.”

Other acclaimed shows contending for the top honors include “The Crown,” “Fallout,” and “The Gilded Age” in the drama categories. In comedy, “Abbott Elementary” and “Only Murders in the Building” aim to impress, continuing their successful runs from previous years.

Prominent actors are also in the spotlight. Jennifer Aniston has received nominations for her work in “The Morning Show,” while Selena Gomez gains recognition as both a producer and performer for “Only Murders in the Building.” Many eyes are on these performances as fans eagerly anticipate the outcomes of these nominations.

Fans of Eugene and Dan Levy can expect a memorable awards night. Beyond the prestigious accolades, their presence promises to infuse the awards ceremony with a sense of warmth and humor, reminiscent of their acclaimed work on “Schitt's Creek.”
