Emmys 2026 Winners: Full List (Live Updates)

The Emmy Awards 2026 are finally here, meaning all of your favorite television actors and creators are about to hit the red carpet dressed to the nines for the annual ceremony honoring the best in small screen entertainment.

Held at the Peacock Theater in downtown Los Angeles on Monday, Sept. 14, and hosted by Law & Order: Special Victims Unit's Mariska Hargitay, this year's show boasts a list of nominees stacked with stars who delivered unforgettable performances ranging from dark and dramatic to gut-busting comedy and beyond. (See the full list of nominees here.)

In fact, several of last year's winners—including The Pitt's Noah Wyle and Katherine LaNasa, in addition to Hacks' Jean Smart—are back to potentially claim another trophy—and possibly make history in the process.

Believe it or not, Smart could become the only female performer to ever win for every season of a series if she takes home her fifth consecutive trophy for Lead Actress in a Comedy. Euphoria star Zendaya could also achieve the same feat if she takes another trophy in the Drama category too. 

And while most awards are still hours away from being announced, several trophies were already handed out during the Creative Arts Emmy Awards last week.

Shailene Woodley took home her very first Emmy for Guest Actress in a Drama Series for her role in season two of Paradise, while the late Rob Reiner won a posthumous Emmy for his role in The Bear nine months after his tragic death.

Like Woodley, DTF St. Louis costars David Harbour and Linda Cardellini also nabbed their first trophies for Outstanding Supporting Actor and Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie, respectively.

For Harbour, the achievement serves as validation for a lifetime of unforgettable roles.

"It's kind of an out-of-body experience to be honest," the Stranger Things actor exclusively told E! News backstage Sept. 6. "There's just so much build-up."

And, after being in show business for 30 years, Harbour admitted the last few hours leading up to his Emmy win were the most excruciating.

"You're also sitting there for two and a half hours watching all these things," the 51-year-old jokingly reflected. "I think during that time, the adrenaline courses through your body and you get weird and then you get tired and then you get happy and then you get tired again."
