The 69th prime-time Emmy ceremony will be about winners and losers and more, including politics and a cheeky turn by host Stephen Colbert. Colbert, whose "Late Show" is a regular forum on the Trump administration, said that the president is fair game during the awards show airing at 8 p.m. EDT Sunday on CBS. 

The Emmys are a celebration of TV, "and the biggest television star of the last year was Donald Trump," Colbert said at last week's ceremonial red-carpet rollout outside Los Angeles' Microsoft Theater.

He's also claimed that his nude rear — or part of it, suitably tanned — will be included in the opening musical number.

How will winners and presenters approach the evening? Will they weigh in with political jokes or speeches, or could the recent devastating hurricanes that ravaged parts of Texas and Florida prompt moments that avoid divisiveness, at least for the show's three or so hours?

The honors themselves could make a statement. In the drama category, the nominees include polar opposites "This Is Us," a heartfelt family drama, and the dystopian "The Handmaid's Tale," which some observers have called a reflection of our time.

It could prove to be a big night for African-American performers. There are a record 12 black actors competing for lead or supporting honors in continuing comedy and drama series, including "Atlanta" creator and star Donald Glover. But no Latinos and only one Asian-American — "Master of None" star and co-creator Aziz Ansari — were nominated.

The installation is just part of the theme the Emmy Awards are channeling at their opulent after-party, which will host guests of the award show, nominees, presenters and plenty of winners posing for kisses with their new trophies. 
Last year's Governors Ball transformed the Emmys into a magical forest wonderland (with the occasional sponsored car parked between the branches). This year it's all about the gold. 
Event producer Cheryl Cecchetto explained to The Times that the "epic look" of the venue "is going to make everyone feel so important."
250 cooks, 27 executive restaurant chefs, 50 bartenders, and 600 servers will converge to offer the celebrants heirloom tomatoes, filet mignon and brownie bars. 
The grandeur has a green bent, too: All the decor elements from the party are either recyclable, repurposed or biodegradable.

“A-list”  actors are exceptionally successful, their notoriety extends beyond the silver screen, and their name guarantees a box office hit. Some “A-list” actors include: Will Smith, Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio, Angelina Jolie, Meryl Streep, and Johnny Depp. The “A-list” actors are usually made up of male actors as with more high earning positions. “B-list”  actors are usually television actors or less successful movie stars. Some “B-list” actors include: Nicholas Cage, Katherine Heigl, David Morse, Samantha Morton, and Pierce Brosnan. “B-list” actors usually never headline a film by themselves; this means the supporting actors are usually fairly notable too. “C-list”  actor is a character actor that’s known by face and not by name. They are usually still good actors, but they receive less notoriety than an A or B-list actor. “D-list”  actors are the lowest on the celebrity hierarchy; they appear on celebrity game shows and reality television....
