It’s nearly time for the 2020 Emmy Awards!

That’s right: The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences is set to honor the best in TV programming in a little over a week, and when host Jimmy Kimmel takes the stage at Staples Center—albeit a relatively empty one, as Variety reported the arena won’t welcome an audience due to the coronavirus pandemic—you’re going to want to be caught up on all of the nominated shows.

Not sure who’s competing for what this year? Don’t worry, we’ve rounded up all of the most nominated series, from HBO’s Watchmen, which leads the pack with 26 nods, to Saturday Night Live, the NBC sketch comedy series that scored 15 noms.

Then there’s Succession and Ozark, both of which are competing for 18 Emmys apiece. Other heavy hitters include The Mandalorian, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Schitt’s Creek, The Crown and Hollywood.

If none of these shows are ringing a bell, you’re in luck, as they’re all available to stream on platforms like Peacock, HBO Max, Netflix, Hulu, Disney+ and Amazon Prime Video.

The same goes for most of the top nominated series, which we’ve listed below, in addition to including information about where you can watch them.

Now, get busy—the 2020 Emmy Awards air Sunday, Sept. 20!

Created by Damon Lindelof, Watchmen continues the mid-1980s DC Comics series of the same name by writer Alan Moore and artist Dave Gibbons. More specifically, the HBO series takes place 34 years after the original story in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

There, a white supremacist attack on the local police department leaves only two surviving cops. As a result, laws are passed that allow the cops to hide their identities behind masks. One of the officers, Angela Abar (Regina King), goes on to adopt the identity of Sister Night and fights racists while dealing with the decades-long legacy of the vigilantes.
