The nominations for the Emmys will be unveiled on July 29, the Television Academy said in a statement. Jones will be joined by Laverne Cox, Josh Gad, and Tatiana Maslany as the fellow presenters during the virtual event. The nominations ceremony has gone digital this year because of the coronavirus pandemic. “Television has played an integral role in navigating these unprecedented times and has brought us together as we remain apart,” said Frank Scherma, chairman and CEO, Television Academy. Popular TV presenter Jimmy Kimmel will be hosting the Emmys, which will be held on September 20. (PTI)
