2020 will no doubt go down as one of the most unpredictable years possible in the entertainment world, from the lack of ongoing TV productions to the rise of remote talk show formats to massive increases in streaming viewership. Even in the face of future unknowns, however, the show must go on, and in this case, we're talking about the 72nd annual Emmy Awards, which today announced nominations for this year's virtual ceremony, which will be hosted by Jimmy Kimmel.
SNL star and future Supermarket Sweep host Leslie Jones was the front-woman picked to deliver the 2020 Emmy nominations, as accompanied by Avenue 5 and Central Park's Josh Gad, Perry Mason's Tatiana Maslany and Inventing Anna's Laverne Cox. You can check out the full list below to see all the well-deserved nods, the shocking snubs and the nominees you wish would just go away already.
