The Emmys are live. Expect things to go wrong

Jessica Biel took to Instagram with a throwback to the 2018 Emmys, when she and husband Justin Timberlake — along with all the other stars — actually attended in person. 

That year, Biel was nominated for "The Sinner," and captioned a shot of the couple holding hands: “Once upon a time, a long LONG time ago … Mom and Dad put on some real clothes and stayed out past midnight."

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, host Jimmy Kimmel will host to, well, pretty much no one at the Staples Center in Los Angeles tonight.

The nominees will be watching and accepting their awards from home.

The Emmy Award nominations were announced virtually this summer by Leslie Jones, Laverne Cox, Josh Gad and Tatiana Maslany.

Here's how some of the nominees reacted:

Uzo Aduba, supporting actress, limited series or a movie for "Mrs. America":

Rachel Brosnahan, outstanding lead actress in a comedy series for "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel":

Tituss Burgess, outstanding supporting actor in a limited series or movie for "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt":

Kerry Washington, producer and outstanding lead actress in a limited series or movie for "Little Fires Everywhere," outstanding variety special for "Live In Front of a Studio Audience" and outstanding television movie for "American Son":

Sterling K. Brown, lead actor in a drama for "This is Us" and supporting actor in a comedy for "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel":

Billy Porter, outstanding lead actor in a drama series, "Pose":

Jasmine Cephas Jones has followed in the footsteps of her actor father, Ron Cephas Jones, and in the process made some Emmys history.

They became the first father-daughter pair to win Emmys in the same year.

She won for outstanding actress in a short form comedy or drama series for her performance in the Quibi series "#FreeRayshawn" while he won for his guest starring role on "This Is Us."

It was the first Emmy for the "Hamilton" actress and the second for her dad via his "This Is Us" work.

In an interview with CNN prior to her win, Jasmine Cephas Jones spoke with pride about her father.

"One of the reasons why I'm acting is because of him and he's taught me a lot," she said. "He's a great dad, but he's also a great mentor and to be able to have this moment it's like full circle for me."

The Emmy Awards delivered more diversity among the nominees. But there has been some backlash over the nominations falling short on representation.

Some on social media complained that while Billy Porter, who is Black, was nominated for lead actor in a drama series for "Pose," none of the central trans actors on the show received a nod.

In the acting categories, 33% of the nominees are Black, compared with 14% the five years prior, according to a report from the Los Angeles Times. 

Their analysis found that performers of color made up 37% of the total of nominations overall, which is 6% more than in any of the past five years.

While "Ramy" became the first Muslim American sitcom to score a nomination with co-creator and star Ramy Youssef earning noms for outstanding lead actor and outstanding directing in a comedy series, there was less to celebrate for other minorities.

Asian artists were not well represented, despite the third consecutive Emmy nomination for Sandra Oh in the lead actress in a drama series category for "Killing Eve."

Oh made history in 2018 as the first woman of Asian descent to be nominated in a lead actress category.

The lack of Latinx representation — most notably EGOT winner Rita Moreno for her work in the comedy "One Day At a Time" — led Daily Beast writer Laura Bradley to highlight that "Tuesday's Emmy nominations included only one Latinx actor, Outstanding Guest in a Drama Series nominee Alexis Bledel."

Here's a list of some of the nominees:

Outstanding lead actor in a limited series or TV movie

Outstanding lead actress in a limited series or TV movie

Outstanding lead actor in a comedy series

Outstanding lead actress in a comedy series

Outstanding lead actor in a drama series

Outstanding lead actress in a drama series

"Ramy" is the first Muslim American sitcom to receive an Emmy nomination.

Ramy Youssef, the show's co-creator and star, was nominated for outstanding lead actor and outstanding directing in a comedy series. Co-star Mahershala Ali earned a nod for his season two supporting role.

In the show, Ramy Hassan (Youssef), a first-generation Egyptian American, struggles to balance his cultural and religious values alongside his American millennial ways. "Ramy" celebrates the Muslim faith while laying bare a host of community issues.

Although "Ramy" focuses on a Muslim American character, the show found a wide audience with millennials of diverse ethnic and religious backgrounds who could relate to the character's anxiety over his romantic life, career aspirations and overbearing parents.

In January, Youssef won a Golden Globe for best performance by an actor in a television series.

Jennifer Aniston is using Emmys prep time for some self care. 

"The Morning Show" star took to Instagram to show off her majorly comfortable pajamas with matching robe. She completed her relaxed look with a rubber band on her wrist and a face mask — the relaxing kind. 

"Emmys prep... in my other mask," she wrote. "Congratulations to the nominees and all of the amazing performances we’ve seen this year."

Her "Morning" co-star Mark Duplass commented, "My dude! Lookin great."

Earlier he was interviewed by "E! Live From the Red Carpet" rocking his own pajama shirt under a tuxedo jacket. 

Hopefully we'll see some acceptance speeches straight from bed.

Nominations for the 72nd Primetime Emmy Awards include a diverse mix of shows, including "The Mandalorian," "Insecure" and "Schitt's Creek."

Netflix dominated with 160 nominations, as new services like Disney+, Apple TV+ also made their mark.

Here's a list of tonight's nominations:

Outstanding comedy series

Outstanding drama series

Outstanding limited Series

Outstanding reality/competition series

Outstanding variety talk series

Giuliana Rancic shared on Sunday why she wasn't covering E!'s Emmys pre-show coverage in person.

"Hey, everyone. As I go into my 20th year on the E! red carpet I have to say I do not take missing an award show lightly, but unfortunately this year is just so different," Rancic said in a message reported by her network. "As part of E! and NBCUniversal's very strict testing guidelines, especially before an event like this, I did find out that I tested positive for COVID-19. Now as much as I didn't want to hear that, I'm very thankful I heard it before I traveled and possibly could have exposed other people. So for that, I'm thankful."

She added that she was doing well and gave an update on her husband, Bill Rancic, and their son, Duke.

"My husband Bill and our son also did test positive, but we're all doing well and taking care each other so I'm going to get back to doing that," she said. "But I just want to say I'm wishing you all the best and please protect yourselves and protect those around you. Take good care and I'll see you on the next red carpet." 

Her colleague, "Nightly Pop's" Nina Parker, filled in for Rancic.

So what if Zendaya doesn't have a red carpet to walk on?

Even though the 2020 Emmys Awards are virtual, the singer "arrived" in major glam. 

The "Euphoria" star showed off her look on Instagram, twirling in a purple Christopher John Rogers dress, sparkly Bulgari jewelry, and a stunning pair of Christian Louboutin crystal-embellished heels. 

Her stylist Law Roach took to Instagram to share the video, writing that there was more to come and that this was only "look one" of the night.
