Adolescence, The White Lotus, Severance, and The Penguin are a few of the TV shows that will battle it out later at the Emmys, the television industry's most prestigious awards ceremony.

Owen Cooper, the 15-year-old British star of Adolescence, Netflix's series about a teenager accused of murdering a classmate, could become the youngest male actor ever to win an Emmy.

Elsewhere, a campaign led by US chat show hosts following the cancellation of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert could see the programme win outstanding talk series for the first time.

The ceremony will take place on Sunday evening at the Peacock Theatre in Los Angeles.

The Studio, Andor, Hacks, Slow Horses, The Bear, Nobody Wants This, and The Last of Us are among the other shows competing for the top prizes.

Here's everything you need to know ahead of TV's biggest night:

Who is hosting the Emmys?

US comedian Nate Bargatze is this year's Emmys host. He is well known to American viewers and sold more tickets to his shows than any other stand-up in the US last year. Bargatze is known for his family-friendly comic style. He plans to tell nominees that he will donate $100,000 to charity on the night, but the donation will decrease for every acceptance speech that goes over the time limit.

Which TV shows are nominated?

The Emmys split their nominations into three categories: comedy, drama, and limited series.

Outstanding drama is traditionally seen as the most prestigious award of the night. This year's contenders include The White Lotus, Andor, Paradise, and Severance. They are joined by The Last of Us, The Pitt, Slow Horses, and The Diplomat.

The comedy categories see two former winners compete: The Bear and Hacks.

In the limited and anthology series category, Adolescence leads the nominations.

Record breakers and controversies

At 15, Cooper could be the youngest winner for acting in Emmys history, but the record is currently held by Roxana Zal, who was 14 in 1984. Other notable young winners include Kristy McNichol and Scott Jacoby. Cooper would be the youngest male winner in any acting category.

The ceremony will begin at 17:00 PT / 20:00 ET on Sunday, or 01:00 BST on Monday for UK viewers. US viewers can watch it live on CBS or on Paramount+. In the UK, coverage begins at 01:00 BST on Monday, with live updates available on the BBC News website.
