Emmys 2020 Nominations: Watchmen, The Mandalorian, The Good Place, And More

Award shows are probably the last thing on people's minds right now because of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the Emmys just announced its nominations for the 72nd annual award ceremony during a livestream. Favorite series like This is Us, Watchmen, and more are expected to be nominated for this year's show.

Each year, the event showcases and awards the best in television. This year's event will be a virtual one, taking place on September 20 at 5 PM PT / 8 PM ET, and hosted by ABC's Jimmy Kimmel. For the announcements, Leslie Jones hosted a livestream on YouTube, which you can watch below.

GameSpot's best TV show of 2019, Watchmen, has received three nominations for Limited Series, Best Actor in a Limited Series, and Best Actress in a Limited Series. NBC comedy The Good Place wracked up two nominations for Best Actor in a Comedy Series and Best Comedy.

There were two pretty big surprise announcements, as Disney+'s The Mandalorian was nominated for Best Drama Series and FX's What We Do in the Shadows for Best Comedy Series. Below, you'll find the nominees for this year's Emmys. This is a curated list, but you can find the entire Emmys nomination list here.
