But long before host Mariska Hargitay takes the stage, your pals at VF will be covering every minute of the lead-up to the awards. In fact, our Emmys live blog is underway…right now!

Elsewhere, check out Gary Oldman’s thoughts on the new season of Slow Horses; see how Apple TV became an Emmy darling; and revisit a few of our interviews with some of the leads of this season’s Emmy-nominated shows.
