  "account": "The 78th Emmy Awards are taking place on Monday night at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. \"The Pitt\" aims to establish itself among the television greats, while \"Widow's Bay\" enters the ceremony with high expectations and a storm of buzz. Host Mariska Hargitay, a three-time Emmy winner, will lead the show, which will also pay tribute to the 30th anniversary of \"Buffy the Vampire Slayer\" and the 50th anniversary of \"Charlie's Angels.\" The telecast will air live on NBC and streaming on Peacock, with \"Live from E!: Countdown to the Emmys\" showcasing the stars' arrivals. HBO Max will also provide a delayed feed of celebrity arrivals on YouTube. Veteran drama series \"The Pitt\" is expected to win its third consecutive award in the best drama category and potentially secure three more. The ensemble cast received four nominations in the supporting actress category and three more for supporting actor. Comedy series \"Hacks\" leads the pack in nominations for its final season, but \"Widow's Bay\" could potentially break the record for the most Emmys won by a comedy in a single season.",
