The shows from this year were phenomenal, making the 76th Primetime Emmy Awards a brilliant and exciting award show. The Emmys this year was hosted by Eugene and Dan Levy, a father-son Canadian comedic duo. Steven Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez from the show, Only Murders in the Building, presented the first award of the evening, giving the award show a welcoming start with their chemistry on stage.
