  "account": "The 68th Primetime Emmy Awards, set to occur on Sunday, will feature an early ceremony on Saturday that could award numerous trophies to several top nominees. The Television Academy will hand out over 100 primetime Emmys, with most of them presented during the two ceremonies at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles.\n\nPreviously known as the Creative Arts Emmys, the early ceremonies are now part of the 78th Emmy Awards. The events will be edited together to air on FXX and stream on Hulu starting September 12. The main awards show, hosted by Mariska Hargitay, will take place on Sept. 14 and air live on NBC and stream live on Peacock.\n\n\"The Pitt,\" an HBO Max medical series, won best drama for its first season and is the top overall nominee with 25 nominations. It could potentially win up to nine Emmys on Sunday. \"Hacks,\" also from HBO Max, received a record-breaking 24 comedy nominations for its final season and could secure as many as 12 awards on Sunday. Many of the awards given out this weekend will be for behind-the-scenes crew members, but prominent individuals may also experience significant moments, particularly in guest acting categories.\n\nNotable figures who may receive recognition include Rob Reiner, who posthumously won for guest actor in a comedy for \"The Bear.\" Reiner, along with his wife Michele Singer Reiner, passed away in December. Additionally, five-time Emmy winner Michael J. Fox could win the same category for his role in the series \"Shrinking,\" in which he portrays a patient with Parkinson's disease, a condition he was diagnosed with in the 1990s.",
