The 72nd Primetime Emmy Awards will be held virtually this year due to coronavirus pandemic.

The ceremony, which was originally to be held at Microsoft Theater here, will now be shot from the actors’ homes across the US.

It will take place on September 20.

According to Variety, Emmy executive producers, including host Jimmy Kimmel, have sent a letter to all the acting nominees, asking them to be prepare to participate in the ceremony from their homes.

“We are assembling a top notch team of technicians, producers and writers to work closely with Jimmy Kimmel and with you and your team, to make sure that we can film with you (and loved ones or whomever else you choose to be with) at your home, or another location of your choice.

“We’re going to make you look fabulous we’re exploring the cutting edge of technology to allow to use good cameras and lighting and look forward to working with you to produce your unique ‘on screen’ moments,” the letter read.

They said that the world is going through a challenging time and it is not yet safe for everyone to assemble for an event like the Emmys. (PTI)
