Grey’s Anatomy star Ellen Pompeo posted a photo of her getting glammed up for the Emmys. The actor is one of the many celebrities presenting one of tonight’s awards.

The nominations for the annual television awards ceremony were announced on 12 July last year; however, due to the Hollywood writers and actors strikes, the Emmys were pushed back from their original 18 September slot.

Reacting to the outcry, Anderson told Fox News: “Everyone’s entitled to their opinion. There’s going to be criticism.”

Ahead of the ceremony, which begins at 5pm PT/8pm ET, all the stars will walk the red carpet to mingle with interviewers and pose for photos. In a way, I like to equate the red carpet with the NFL halftime show.

Tonight’s official red carpet will begin on Fox two hours before the ceremony at 3pm PT/6pm ET, and will be hosted by Laverne Cox for E!. Entertainment Weekly and People will also be holding their own red carpet show hosted by Jeremy Parsons and Janine Rubenstein. You can tune in to the latter via their YouTube channels, social media accounts or websites.

While those in front of the camera typically take precedence over those behind the scenes, the latter are no less important. In the lead-up to the Emmys ceremony tonight, the Creative Arts Emmys were awarded at the weekend, and comedian Trevor Noah made sure to give a shoutout to the winners. Those honoured at the Creative Arts Emmys include video editors, set decorators, production designers, costume designers, casting directors, cinematographers and sound editors.

The 21-year-old Wednesday star already made history as the youngest Latina to earn an acting Emmy nomination. So should she go on to win Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series, Ortega will become the youngest Latina acting Emmy winner ever.

She’s up against Rachel Brosnahan (The Marvelous Mrs Maisel), Quinta Brunson (Abbott Elementary), Natasha Lyonne (Poker Face) and Christina Applegate (Dead to Me).
