Widow's Bay, DTF St Louis, Slow Horses, The Bear and Abbott Elementary are also competing for prizes at the ceremony, which is seen as the US television industry's most prestigious event. Actors nominated for trophies include Zendaya, Noah Wyle, Sarah Snook and Colman Domingo, while Matthew Rhys, Carey Mulligan and Jack Lowden are among the British nominees.

But several big shows are not represented - viral sensation Heated Rivalry is not eligible for the Emmys, while there is a weaker presence for the final series of Euphoria and Stranger Things. Here's everything you need to know about this year's Emmy Awards. Which TV shows are the frontrunners?

The Details

Best drama is generally seen as the night's most prestigious prize, and last year's winner The Pitt is back to defend its title following its second series. The acclaimed medical drama also has eight individual acting nominations, including one for its star, Noah Wyle.

Other dramas nominated include Pluribus, Slow Horses, The Diplomat and Game of Thrones prequel A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms. Over in the comedy categories, Hollywood satire Hacks is predicted by many to continue its hugely successful Emmys streak following its fifth and final season. The show's expected wins could include acting prizes for its two stars, Jean Smart and Hannah Einbinder.

Another win would bring her total Emmy tally to eight, tying the record held by Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Cloris Leachman. Possible challengers in the comedy categories include Widow's Bay, Shrinking, Abbott Elementary and Nobody Wants This.

Elsewhere, the second season of Netflix's Beef could be a strong contender in the limited or anthology series category, and win acting prizes for its stars Carey Mulligan and Oscar Isaac. But it faces strong competition from shows such as All Her Fault, The Beast in Me and DTF St Louis, which had a particularly strong showing at last week's Creative Arts Emmys. British nominees alongside Mulligan include Riz Ahmed (Bait), Rufus Sewell (The Diplomat), Kate O’Flynn (Widow’s Bay) and Gary Oldman and Jack Lowden (both for Slow Horses).

The development has drawn wide international attention, with diplomatic circles watching closely.
