Presenters
The awards were presented by the following people:[14][15][16]
Ceremony information
In April 2022, the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (ATAS, also known as the Television Academy) announced that the 74th Primetime Emmy Awards would be held on September 12; the corresponding Creative Arts ceremonies will be held on September 3 and 4. The main ceremony will be shown on NBC as part of a four-year rotation; the ceremony was moved to a Monday to accommodate NBC's Sunday Night Football coverage.[43][44] The broadcast will also be streamed on Peacock.[45] The ceremony will be produced by Hudlin Entertainment and Done and Dusted, with Reginald Hudlin, Ian Stewart, Byron Phillips and Jane Mun serving as executive producers. This marks Hudlin's third year and Done and Dusted's fifth year producing the Emmys ceremony. Hamish Hamilton will serve as director for the fifth time.[46] The ceremony will return to the Microsoft Theater in Downtown Los Angeles, California after two years at other venues due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[47]
On August 9, 2022, it was announced that Kenan Thompson would host the ceremony.[48] The producers reportedly approached Chris Rock and Dwayne Johnson to host the ceremony, but had no success. NBC late-night hosts Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers – both past Emmys hosts – were also reportedly uninterested in the role.[49] Scherma initially indicated that a hostless ceremony was being considered, but the Television Academy quickly clarified that such an option was not being pursued.[50]
Emmys realignment
In December 2021, ATAS and the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS) announced a major realignment of the Emmy Award ceremonies. This was in response to the growth of streaming television, which blurred the lines in determining which shows should fall under the Daytime or Primetime Emmys. The two ceremonies' scopes will now revolve around factors such as the themes and frequency of such programming, rather than strictly dayparts.[51][52]
Among the major changes that will take effect at the 49th Daytime Emmy Awards in June 2022 and at the 74th Primetime Emmy Awards in September 2022:[51][52]
- Daytime dramas, as defined as "any multi-camera, weekday daily serial, spin-off or reboot", remain at the Daytime Emmys but most other scripted dramas and comedies will have to enter into the Primetime Emmys. For example, the streaming limited series Days of Our Lives: Beyond Salem may still enter into the Daytime Emmys because it is a spin-off of the daytime soap opera Days of Our Lives,[53] but other programs such as The Bay would have to move to the Primetime Emmys.[54]
- Talk shows will now be divided between the Daytime and Primetime Emmys based on "format and style characteristics reflective of current programming in the daytime or late night space". Such programs may petition to switch ceremonies, such as the previous Daytime Emmy winner The Ellen DeGeneres Show, whose format is more similar to the late night talk shows awarded at the Primetime Emmys.[54]
- All children's programming categories have been moved to the new Children's and Family Emmy Awards.
- Categories for morning shows have been moved from the Daytime Emmys to the News and Documentary Emmy Awards or to the Daytime Emmys' talk show categories, depending on format.
Categories for game shows and instructional programming will remain split this year between the Daytime and Primetime Emmys, with their realignment to be determined in 2023.[51][52]
Other rule changes
Several other rule changes will be implemented for the ceremony. Most notably, programs will no longer be categorized as dramas or comedies based on runtime; instead, producers will determine where their programs are submitted, with the Television Academy reserving the right to review decisions. The distinction had previously been adjusted in 2015 to consider half-hour programs as comedies and hour-long programs as dramas. The exception to the new rule are programs under 20 minutes, which must be submitted in short-form categories. The Television Academy also revised the description for the Governors Award and clarified that limited series must fully resolve story arcs with "no on-going storyline and/or main characters in subsequent seasons".[55][56]
In July, the categories for the broadcast were revealed. Outstanding Variety Special (Live) and Outstanding Variety Special (Pre-Recorded) were moved to the Creative Arts ceremonies, while Outstanding Writing for a Variety Special replaced Outstanding Writing for a Variety Series in the main broadcast.[57][58]
Ratings and reception
Competing with the season premiere of Monday Night Football on ABC and ESPN, the ceremony was viewed by 5.92 million people in the United States, making it the least-viewed in Emmys history, representing a 19% decrease over the previous year's ceremony. It also achieved a 1.09 rating among adults ages 18–49. The ratings figures only include those who watched the telecast on NBC, and not those who streamed it on Peacock.[59]
In Memoriam
The annual In Memoriam segment was presented by Anthony Anderson and featured John Legend performing the song "Pieces".[38][60][61]
