2021 Emmys: How to watch, what's nominated and everything else you need to know
Kaley Cuoco, Jason Sudeikis, Kate Winslet and more will help honor the year's best shows
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}It's nearly time to celebrate another year of television.
Each year, the Television Academy awards the best comedies, dramas, made-for-TV movies, miniseries and more with Emmy Awards, which are widely recognized as the industry's highest honor.
For years now, awards shows like the Emmys have declined in viewership despite recognition for massively popular shows like "Game of Thrones" and "Schitt's Creek" and the promise of a star-studded event wearing expensive outfits.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}It remains to be seen whether this year will break the low-ratings curse despite being the second year that will no doubt look at least somewhat different due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
