The 69th Primetime Emmy Awards takes place tonight. 

The awards honour the best U.S. television shows that air between June 1, 2016 and May 31, 2017. 

This year's nominations have a Game of Thrones shaped hole as the latest season aired too late in the summer to be considered. 

Tonight's awards kicks off at 8pm Eastern time, which means it'll be 1am before the show kicks off on our shores. 

If you do want to stay up and watch some of the coverage, tune into E! Entertainment from 11pm where you can watch the Red Carpet coverage. Unfortunately, after that you'll have to rely on social media coverage as the show itself won't be broadcast outside of America. 

But back to the awards itself! Want to know who's up for what? Then read on! Below is the list of nominees for the major awards.
