Broadcasting live from the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles, the glamorous awards show will feature our favorite stars from the small screen including Sofía Vergara, Bryan Cranston and Amy Poehler.
As you make your final predictions and clear your schedule (yes, you can DVR Dexter and Breaking Bad), we're giving you 10 things you have to know before tonight's big show.
Pop the popcorn and get ready! The Emmys are just hours away.
Cory Monteith's Emotional Tribute: Jane Lynch is expected to pay tribute to her close friend and Glee costar Sunday night. In a special (and emotional) In Memorium segment, Monteith and James Gandolfini, Jean Stapleton, Gary David Goldberg and Jonathan Winters will be honored for their bodies of work.
3. Elton John Is Performing: Yes, this night is technically dedicated to the best stars in television. However, that won't make us complain about a few superstar musical guests. The "Rocket Man" singer is scheduled to pay tribute to Liberace, whose HBO biopic, Behind the Candelabra, is up for 15 Emmys. The performance will mark John's first appearance at the TV awards show.
The biggest night in TV has arrived! All the biggest stars from your favorite shows are flocking to the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles on Sept. 22 for the Emmys. It obviously all starts with a star-studded red carpet at 6 p.m. ET, and you can watch all the action below!
The 2013 Emmys will also be a night where we can properly remember and honor some of our favorite fallen stars. A light will definitely be shone on iconic actors like James Gandolfini and Jean Stapleton, but the awards show will also take special care with Cory Monteith’s tragic July death by putting on a special tribute.
Outside of the usual “In Memoriam” segment, a touching homage with music is being planned. “We felt [Cory] needed to be represented, that at 31, he passed away under very tragic circumstances,” Emmys producer Ken Ehrlich told E! News, explaining Cory’s special tribute.
