The 2020 Emmy Nominees in The Pages of W

Even amid coronavirus pandemic concerns, the show must go on—or at least the Emmys will. With Zendaya scoring her first Emmy nomination for HBO’s Euphoria, and with Jennifer Aniston scoring her first Emmy nomination for a dramatic performance, history could be made at this year’s awards. There’s no forgetting the performance Cate Blanchett gave as Phyllis Schlafly in Mrs. America, Issa Rae on Insecure, Tracee Ellis Ross on Black-ish, or Billy Porter on Pose, either. Though the red carpet may look a bit different than in years’ past, there’s still the ceremony to tune into this September, where we’ll find out who wins this year’s battle royale between drama series like HBO’s Succession and Westworld, and Netflix’s Ozark and The Crown. But until then, you can check out many of the 2020 Emmy nominees as photographed in the pages of W magazine, here.
