Having helped to create some of the greatest TV shows of all time, it’s little surprise that HBO leads the way with a whopping 50 nominations, including three entries for Outstanding Comedy (Curb Your Enthusiasm, Barry, Hacks) and two for Outstanding Drama (Succession, Euphoria).
Hulu (Dopesick, Only Murders in the Building, The Dropout), Netflix (Squid Game, Ozark) andAppleTV Plus (Ted Lasso, Severance) also look set to have a great night, though once again there’s not a whole lot of love going around for Stranger Things or The Morning Show. Don’t sleep on Abbott Elementary, Yellowjackets, or Better Call Saul, who are flying the flag for ABC, Showtime and AMC respectively.
There’s plenty of potential for blushes in NBC’s corridors of power, as the host network only has five nominations altogether, three courtesy of SNL, of which Thompson is the longest-serving cast member. They’ve got 50/50 odds in the Outstanding Variety Sketch Series category, but miss out on that and things could get ever so slightly awkward.
Read on as we explain how to watch a 2022 Emmys live stream from anywhere. We’ve also listed theEmmy Awards nomineesfurther down the page.

Can I live stream Emmys 2022 in the UK?
At the time of writing, there’s no official broadcaster for the 2022 Emmys in the UK. On the bright side, that means there’s no need to stay up for a show that starts at 1am BST on Monday night…
There are suspicions that the show may be live streamed for free on theEmmy Awards Youtube channel, but right now that’s just a rumour.
If that doesn’t materialise and you’re still keen to try out your luck, the only alternative is to use one of thebest VPN serviceproviders to tap into coverage from elsewhere, as described above.
The software is generally ideal for this as it allows you to change your IP address and appear to be in a completely different location - and all through a safe, encrypted connection. But do bear in mind that most paid streaming services do require a credit card based in the same country as the service.
