Charlie Puth and acclaimed duo The War and Treaty will perform over the In Memoriam spot at the Primetime Emmys on Monday (Jan. 15). And that won’t be the only music moment on the show — Travis Barker will team with show host Anthony Anderson for what the show promises will be “a showstopping open.”
In a promotional appearance, Anderson also revealed his unconventional plan for keeping things moving on Emmy night. Instead of the traditional play-off music to nudge winners to wrap up long acceptance speeches, Anderson’s mother, Doris Bowman (aka Mama Doris), will act as the show’s “enforcer” to ensure a swift pace.
The show will also include cast reunions and tributes to hit TV series spanning more than seven decades, including The Sopranos, Martin, Cheers, Grey’s Anatomy, All in the Family, Ally McBeal and I Love Lucy as well as Saturday Night Live’s signature Weekend Update segment, which will be helmed by Tina Fey and Amy Poehler.
The Emmys teased that performers will re-create the famous candy conveyer belt sequence from I Love Lucy, though they didn’t reveal the brave performers who will attempt to follow in the footsteps of Lucille Ball and Vivian Vance.
TV legend Carol Burnett, who won a Primetime Emmy at last weekend’s Creative Arts Emmys for outstanding variety special (pre-recorded) for Carol Burnett: 90 Years of Laughter + Love will present. Other presenters include Christina Applegate, nominated for outstanding lead actress in a comedy series for Dead to Me, and Natasha Lyonne, nominated in the same category for Poker Face.
Other scheduled presenters include Peter Dinklage (Game of Thrones), Coleman Domingo (Euphoria), Tom Hiddleston (Loki), Ke Huy Quan (American Born Chinese) and Anderson’s long-time black-ish co-star, Tracee Ellis Ross.
The 75th Emmy Awards, executive-produced by Jesse Collins, Dionne Harmon and Jeannae Rouzan-Clay of Jesse Collins Entertainment, will broadcast live from the Peacock Theater at L.A. Live in downtown Los Angeles on Monday, Jan. 15 (8:00-11:00 p.m. ET/5:00-8:00 p.m. PT) on FOX and will also be available the next day on Hulu.
Simu Liu is set to host this year’s People’s Choice Awards, and he’s already revealed what you won’t see during his opening monologue: any awkward jokes about Taylor Swift.
Following Jo Koy’s polarizing performance as host of the Golden Globes Sunday (Jan. 7) — during which the comedian made a quip that fell flat about Swift’s attendance at NFL games — the Barbie actor has pledged not to shade the “Anti-Hero” singer while on duty at the PCAs.
“there will be no taylor slander at the 2024 PCAs,” Liu tweeted Thursday (Jan. 11), adding, “that’s a personal guarantee.”
Aside from the fact that the Shang-Chi star is a well-documented Swiftie himself, it’s hard to imagine that any entertainer would want to have a repeat of Koy’s reception at the Globes. A couple of the stand-up comic’s jokes went over poorly at theceremony, particularly the following: “The big difference between the Golden Globes and the NFL? At the Golden Globes, we have fewer camera shots of Taylor Swift.”
Immediately after the remark, cameras cut to Swift, who was in attendance as a nominee for cinematic and box office achievement thanks to her Eras Tour concert film (Barbie took home the prize). Her reaction was indifferent at best, with the pop star simply pursing her lips with a stony look on her face and taking a sip of champagne.
Koy later clarified that he had “no ill intent” when making the joke, adding that “the whole intention of that joke was to make fun of the NFL.” “What hurts the most is me just supporting Taylor, I support her, I love her work,” he told the Los Angeles Times. “The joke is about the NFL and how they keep using cutaways to [her]. And it’s an obvious reason why. I’m not saying anything that no one’s saying, and it’s obvious what that joke was. It’s about the NFL.”
Another bombed joke from Koy had to do with one of Liu’s own projects, Greta Gerwig’s Barbie, in which he played one of several Kens opposite Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling.
“Barbie is [based] on a plastic doll with big boobies,” Koy said of the film, later earning criticism from those who thought the quip was sexist or reductive. Gerwig, however, had a more neutral take on the controversy.
“Well, he’s not wrong,” she said in a recent interview. “She’s the first doll that was mass produced with breasts, so he was right on. And you know, I think that so much of the project of the movie was unlikely because it is about a plastic doll.”

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have been cheering each other on for months on their respective turfs, but at the 2024 People’s Choice Awards, they’re both nominees. Kelce is nominated for athlete of the year, while Swift is nominated in five categories: female artist of the year, pop artist of the year, concert tour of the year, movie of the year and social celebrity of the year.
This year’s nominations underscore the degree to which women dominated pop culture in 2023. Seven of the eight nominees for pop artist of the year were women, with only Jung Kook keeping it from being a shutout. Likewise, seven of the eight nominees for social celebrity of the year were women, with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson the lone male nominee.
In both song of the year and R&B artist of the year, women accounted for five of the eight nominees.
There are 45 categories this year representing movies, television, music and pop culture. That includes five new categories: male country artist, female country artist, male Latin artist, female Latin artist and concert tour (just in time for 2023 megatours by Swift, Beyoncé and more).
Country and Latin were the only music genres with separate categories for men and women. In pop, hip-hop and R&B, men and women compete against each other.
Actor and author Simu Liu will host this year’s show. Liu is nominated for a People’s Choice Award in the movie performance category for his role in the blockbuster Barbie. In 2021, he won action movie star for Marvel’s Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings and was nominated in the male movie star category for the same role. Liu hosted the Juno Awards in 2022 and 2023 in his home country, Canada.
Kenan Thompson hosted the People’s Choice Awards in 2022 and 2023.
The 2024 People’s Choice Awards will air live on Sunday, Feb. 18, at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on NBC, Peacock and E! from the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, Calif. Live From E!: People’s Choice Awards, a red-carpet pre-show, will kick off the night at 6 p.m. ET/3 p.m. PT on E!. Both shows are produced by Den of Thieves. Jesse Ignjatovic, Evan Prager and Barb Bialkowski will executive produce.
Voting for the 2024 People’s Choice Awards runs Thursday (Jan. 11) through Jan. 19 at 11:59 p.m. ET. Fans can vote online at VotePCA.com. Votes cast on Turbo Tuesday, Jan. 16, will count twice, equaling a maximum of two votes per day, per category. The eligibility window for all categories is the 2023 calendar year.

For the third year in a row, Selena Gomez was nominated for a Screen Actors Guild Award for outstanding performance by an ensemble in a comedy series for her role in Hulu’s Only Murders in the Building, but passed over for a nod for outstanding performance by a female actor in a comedy series.
Two other artists who, like Gomez, have topped the Billboard Hot 100, are nominated for 2024 SAG Awards – Bradley Cooper for his performance as conductor Leonard Bernstein in Maestro, and Fantasia Barrino as part of the ensemble of The Color Purple.
Succession is this year’s top nominee. The HBO series is nominated for five awards – best drama ensemble plus individual acting nods to its stars Kieran Culkin, Jeremy Strong, Matthew Macfadyen and Sarah Snook. The Bear, The Last of Us and Ted Lasso were runners-up on the TV side with four nods each.
On the film side, Barbie and Oppenheimer were the top nominees with four nods each, followed by American Fiction and Killers of the Flower Moon with three nods each.
The nominees for best film ensemble – the closest thing at the SAG Awards to the Oscar for best picture – are American Fiction, Barbie, The Color Purple, Killers of the Flower Moon and Oppenheimer.
Comedy and drama performances are combined in the SAG film awards, but are handled separately in their TV awards. Nominees for best TV comedy ensemble are Abbott Elementary (which won last year), Barry, The Bear, Only Murders in the Building and Ted Lasso (which won in 2022).
Nominees for TV drama ensemble are The Crown (which won in 2020-21), The Gilded Age, The Last of Us, The Morning Show and Succession (which won in 2022). These are the first nominations in this category for both The Gilded Age and The Last of Us.
Everything Everywhere All at Once made history at last year’s SAG Awards, becoming the first film to win four awards – best film ensemble plus individual honors for Michelle Yeoh, Jamie Lee Curtis and Ke Huy Quan. This success was repeated at the Oscars two weeks later, where the film won best picture and those three actors also won.
The 30th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards, produced by SAG-AFTRA and Silent House Productions, will stream live on Netflix on Saturday, Feb. 24, at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT from the Shrine Auditorium & Expo Hall in Los Angeles. This will mark the show’s live debut on Netflix. Last year’s ceremony was broadcast on Netflix’s YouTube page.
The awards are voted on by SAG-AFTRA’s membership of 119,515 eligible voters, the largest voting body on the awards circuit. Final voting opens on Wednesday, Jan. 17, and closes at noon PT on Friday, Feb. 23.
As previously announced, Barbra Streisand will receive the 2024 SAG Lifetime Achievement Award. She is the 59th recipient of the tribute; she follows Sally Field, who received it during the 2023 telecast.
Here’s the complete list of nominees for the 2024 Screen Actors Guild Awards.

The Grammy Awards have had genre-specific categories from the very start, but the line-up looks a lot different today than when the first Grammys were presented in May 1959.
Back then, when there were 28 categories, there were six categories reserved for classical music, two for jazz and one each for country & western and rhythm & blues.
That meant some records were shoehorned into categories where they didn’t quite fit. Because there was no category for folk, The Kingston Trio’s “Tom Dooley” wound up winning best country & western performance. Because there was no category for rock and roll, The Champs’ “Tequila” won best rhythm & blues performance.
That first year, there were also no categories specifically earmarked for eventual staple Grammy genres like pop (though the awards for best vocal performance, male and female tended to go to pop artists), dance music (unless you count best performance by a dance band, won by Count Basie), blues, gospel or Latin — or such later-emerging genres as rock, metal, alternative, rap, Americana, Contemporary Christian or Global.
The addition of these and other categories has made the number of categories swell to 94 by the time of the 66th Annual Grammy Awards, which will be presented on Feb. 4. That’s more than three times as many as at the first Grammy ceremony, but down from the all-time high of 110 categories that were presented in 2008 and 2009.
There was a major streamlining in 2012, when the number of categories plummeted from 109 to 78. In a recent interview with Billboard, Academy CEO Harvey Mason, jr. referred to it as “the great consolidation.” Two factors were responsible for the reduction: Many felt that the glut of categories devalued the award. Also, The Grammys opted for gender-neutral categories, which reduced the number of categories needed.
Ahead of this year’s ceremony, we put together a guide to the history of 20 genres that are recognized on the big night, listed in the order they were first introduced on the Grammy ballot. We also rounded up some of the discontinued Grammy categories that have been lost to time.
This story is part of Billboard’s Genre Now package, highlighting the artists pushing their musical genres forward — and even creating their own new ones.
A few notes first: many categories have had name changes over the years. At the Grammy Awards presented in 1969, country & western was shortened to country; rhythm & blues was abbreviated R&B. More recently, best urban contemporary album was renamed best progressive R&B album because some took umbrage at the term “urban.” Best world music album was renamed best global music album to get away from “connotations of colonialism, folk, and ‘non-American’ that the former term embodied,” according to an Academy statement. Best rap/sung collaboration became best rap/sung performance (it no longer had to be a collaboration); it is now best melodic rap performance.
Some category names were changed because they were just too unwieldly. Best soundtrack album or recording of original cast from a motion picture or television, as the category was known in 1961-62, is now known by the much simpler best score soundtrack for visual media. Even when the original names weren’t that clunky, the new shorter versions are catchier, as when best long-form music video became best music film and best short-form music video became best music video.
Read on for a brief, selective history of genre at the Grammys – the years shown are the years of the award presentations each genre first appeared.
