Ceremony information
On February 10, 2024, the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (ATAS, also known as the Television Academy) announced that the 76th Primetime Emmy Awards would be held on September 15; the corresponding Creative Arts ceremonies were announced for September 7 and 8.[20][21] It was the second Primetime Emmy Awards ceremony held in 2024 due to the 75th ceremony, originally slated to broadcast on September 18, 2023, taking place four months later on January 15, 2024, as a result of the 2023 Hollywood labor disputes.[22] ABC broadcast the gala as part of a four-year rotation deal among the "Big Four" broadcast networks signed in 2018.[23]
The ceremony was produced by Jesse Collins Entertainment (Jesse Collins, Dionne Harmon, and Jeannae Rouzan-Clay) for the second consecutive year.[24] Actor Eugene Levy and his son Dan were announced as co-hosts on August 16.[25] It was the first time a father-and-son duo co-hosted an Emmy ceremony.[26] According to Disney Entertainment chairperson Dana Walden, producers and network executives had asked talk show host Jimmy Kimmel – who hosted the previous three ABC telecasts – to host the ceremony. However, Kimmel declined the offer saying he wanted to take a break after hosting the previous Academy Awards.[27] Alex Rudzknski was the director for the telecast. Rickey Minor served as musical director for the ceremony.[28] Two days before the ceremony, ABC aired a special episode of 20/20 entitled The 76th Emmys: A Night of Firsts. Hosted by Good Morning America co-anchor Robin Roberts, the special featured interviews with hosts Eugene and Dan Levy and several of the ceremony's nominees.[29] Roberts also co-hosted the network's red carpet arrivals special preceding the main telecast with ABC News journalist Will Reeve.[30]
Building from the previous year, producers Collins, Harmon, and Rouzan-Clay announced during a press conference that several of the awards would be presented by actors grouped by "character archetypes".[31] "We loved the nostalgia of January’s show, and we wanted to bring that spirit to the show on Sunday without doing the exact same thing, so we’re really celebrating the characters that you’ve loved over the years — whether that’s TV moms, TV dads [or] villains," Harmon said in justifying the decision to group some presenters by character type.[31] Collins also revealed that the telecast would feature reunions in tribute to the 50th anniversaries of NBC variety/sketch program Saturday Night Live, ABC comedy series Happy Days, and the 25th anniversary of NBC drama The West Wing.[32] Furthermore in an interview with Los Angeles Times, co-host Eugene Levy echoed the producers decision to focus on history and nostalgia saying, "And [it's] also just paying tribute to television, certainly the nominees, but to the medium that gave us both our starts."[33]
Critical reviews and viewership
The broadcast generally received mixed to negative reviews from critics.[34] Allison Herman of Variety compared the ceremony to the previous one noting, "the 76th Emmys were a far less dynamic and more stilted watch than the January show." She also criticized production elements such as the music director's choices for presenters' walk on music, recurring sound technical issues, and the grouping of presenters based on character archetypes calling them inconsistent given that other programs such as Happy Days and The West Wing received full fledged tributes.[35]
Some critics reviewed the broadcast more positively. Judy Berman of Time complimented the Levys for their performances hosts saying, "The emcees imbued what is always a long night—and was, this time around, full of predictable wins—with many moments of lighthearted fun, without trying too hard to roast their fellow actors or land headline-making zingers."[36] Daniel Fienberg of The Hollywood Reporter called the ceremony, "an above-average show" noting that the surprise winners kept "audiences on their toes" and that they often gave the best speeches. However, he criticized the reunion tributes noting that the presenters' dialogue felt bland and poor written in comparison to last year's tributes. He also called the choice of Jelly Roll's performance of "I Am Not Okay" as "tonally questionably" and wrote that Jimmy Kimmel's tribute to comedian Bob Newhart "absolutely warped the mood in a room that wasn’t sure if this was the time to laugh about how often Jon Stewart wins Emmys."[37]
Competing with a Sunday Night Football game on NBC, the ceremony was viewed by 6.9 million people in the United States, making it the most-viewed in Emmys in three years, representing a 54% increase over the previous year's ceremony.[38][39] It also achieved a 1.03 rating among adults ages 18–49.[38]
