Emmy Awards 2016: The nominees

Awards Season with Attitude, sponsored by discoverlosangeles.com.

Following being pranked by Britney with a bedroom full of semi-naked dancers earlier this year (our favourite dream!), Jimmy Kimmel has just about recovered enough to host this year’s 68th Annual Emmy Awards.

This Sunday, September 18th, celebs will gather at the LA Microsoft Theatre to find out if they’ve won an award in any of the astounding 19 categories.
