Who is hosting the Emmys?
Following the relative success of this year’s Academy Awards going host-less, the Emmy Awards will also be forgoing a traditional host. This is the fourth time in the show’s history that it will go without a host, the last time being in 2003.
The decision was made in order to honor many shows that ended in 2019 — including “Game of Thrones,” “Veep” and “The Big Bang Theory” — according to Deadline.
Who is presenting at the 2019 Emmy Awards?
The Television Academy and Emmy Awards revealed the first batch of presenters on Sept. 11, which includes a host of nominees such as Angela Bassett, Stephen Colbert, Viola Davis, Michael Douglas, Jimmy Kimmel, Seth Meyers, Billy Porter, Emilia Clarke, Kit Harrington, Sophie Turner and Maisie Williams, among others.
Other presenters include Zendaya, Naomi Watts, Taraji P. Henson and Terrence Howard.

HBO’s “Game of Thrones” and “Chernobyl” dominated the two-night awards ceremony, earning 17 awards between the two shows. The former received awards in sound editing, special visual effects, fantasy/sci-fi costumes and casting, among others.
Other notable winners were Nike’s “Dream Crazy” commercial with former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick, the Oscar-winning National Geographic documentary “Free Solo” for seven Emmy Awards and RuPaul, who earned his fourth consecutive Emmy Award for host of a reality or competition program for “RuPaul’s Drag Race.”
