This year’s Primetime Emmy Awards will follow its film cousin, The Oscars, by not having a main host.

Instead, celebrities will be presenting the selected categories throughout the night, with the elite group now being revealed.

Stephen Colbert, Viola Davis, Michael Douglas, Jimmy Kimmel, Seth Meyers, and Billy Porter, who are all nominated for awards, will be pulling presenter duty alongside Angela Bassett, Taraji P. Henson, Terrence Howard, Peter Krause, Naomi Watts, and Zendaya.

Game of Thrones is the frontrunner in many of the categories, with the final season of the HBO series picking up 32 nominations.

The 71st Primetime Emmy Awards will be held at Los Angeles’ Microsoft Theatre on September 22nd.

While Kevin Hart’s decision to withdraw as host of the Academy Awards was surrounded by controversy, the Emmys appear to be doing so for the sake of the nominees.

“What’s interesting about this year to me is how many amazing shows we’re saying goodbye to,” said CEO of FOX Entertainment, Charlie Collier. “We’ve got Game of Thrones, our own Empire, Veep, and Big Bang Theory. So this is new to me, I’ve never worked on the Emmys before. You really have to look at all the trade offs. If you have a host and an opening number, that’s 15-20 minutes you can’t use to salute the shows.”

2018’s ceremony was aired by NBC, with FOX taking over broadcasting duties this year.

“We’re so proud to host the Emmys, but no one will say ‘That is Fox’s Emmy’s.’ We’re happy to have it this year, we’ll pass it on to another network partner next year — so our job is to assess how to elevate the program in the year we’re lucky enough to broadcast it.”

The 2019 Primetime Emmy Awards are scheduled for September 22nd.
