The 78th Emmy Awards ceremony takes place at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on Monday evening, with all the biggest names from the world of TV stepping out on the red carpet.
Law & Order: SVU star Mariska Hargitay, herself a four-time Emmy winner, is presiding over the three-hour broadcast as master of ceremonies where the likes of The Pitt, Widow’s Bay, Hacks, and many more are hoping to win big.
The traditional red carpet has been swapped for a peacock blue one, celebrating NBC’s 100th anniversary.
Among the early arrivals on the blue carpet were the likes of Abbott Elementary’s Lisa Ann Walter, and Your Friends & Neighbours stars Eunice Bae and Isabel Gravitt.
