The Television Arts and Sciences academy determined not to have a host this year, for the purpose of putting the spotlight on departing shows like HBO's Game of Thrones. The final season of this show has set a record for Emmy nominations with 32 total, including 14 significant accolades. Giuliana Rancic and Jason Kennedy will be hosting E! News, red carpet coverage.
Some of the famous faces presenting the awards include Jimmy Kimmel, Stephen Colbert, Viola Davis, and Naomi Watts. Another reason for the hostless awards this year is because Kevin Hart backed out due to insensitive comments on social media.
