After two years of virtual shows amidst the Covid 19 pandemic, the 73rd Emmy Awards will be held in-person this year with an eagerly anticipated red carpet. Similar to the 2021 Met Gala, the Emmys will be a scaled down version of the ceremony. Instead of the 7,100 seat Microsoft Theater where the Emmys typically take place, the show will be held in a tent with a few hundreds of attendees, The NY Times reports.
