The 73rd edition of the Emmy Awards regains part of the normality that last year disappeared because of the coronavirus pandemic.
After the 2020 ceremony in which there was no audience, no carpet, and the nominees were at home due to the coronavirus pandemic, this year the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences of the United States released a statement in July with the news on the organization of the 2021 Emmys. According to the announcement, the presenter in charge of directing the ceremony will be the 57-year-old comedian, Cedric the Entertainer. Although initially it was going to be held in a closed space and before a limited number of attendees, just a month later, in August, and given the increase in infections, it was also decided that the gala would be held outdoors and it was reduced to capacity to no more than four entries per nomination. This decision left out a part of the nominees, since not all will be able to attend this year’s awards.
