Monday night's Emmy Awards, from when it's on to what shows to binge

The Emmys are perfect for lazy fans of awards shows because they don't have to leave the couch to see all the nominees. 

This year's awards, the 70th, are set to celebrate all things television including streaming, with companies like Netflix and Hulu figuring into the major categories.

Here's what you need to know before settling in Monday evening for the long haul, from the red carpet to the post-parties.

WHAT CHANNEL ARE THE EMMY AWARDS ON?

NBC

CAN I WATCH ONLINE?

Yes! The Television Academy is giving viewers insider's access with "Backstage Live!," a program streaming on Emmys.com and on the academy's Facebook page.

WHAT TIME IS IT ON?

8 p.m. EST

WHY IS IT ON A MONDAY?

Because if you're both a football fan and an awards show connoisseur, you don't want to miss a thing. And neither does NBC.

According to trade magazine Variety, the Emmy Awards' move to Monday is to avoid conflict with "Sunday Night Football," both of which air on NBC. That means you can watch the New York Giants take on the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday and watch "Game of Thrones" take on "This is Us" in best drama series on Monday. 

WHO'S HOSTING?

Colin Jost and Michael Che, the hosts of Weekend Update on "Saturday Night Live."  

WHO'S NOMINATED?

There's always drama about nominations before the show even starts. Were Emilia Clark and Kit Harrington, aka Daenerys Targaryen and Jon Snow, snubbed? Did the "Roseanne" revival, a huge ratings winner, deserve a shot at best comedy series? Check out who got the nod in the top categories.
