Seth Meyers, presenter of the award ceremony

The 66th Emmy -Verleihung in the category of prime time ( 66th Primetime Emmy Awards ) took place on August 25, 2014 Nokia Theater , a theater in Los Angeles , California instead. The nominations were announced on July 10, 2014. Programs that were broadcast between June 1, 2013 and May 31, 2014 were taken into account. Because the US broadcaster NBC has the transmission rights to the live broadcasts of the NFL games, the ceremony took place a month earlier and on a Monday instead of the usual Sunday at the end of September. In German-speaking countries, the award ceremony was broadcast live by the pay TV channel TNT Serie . The comedian and presenter Seth Meyers moderated the event.

The Creative Arts Emmy Awards had previously been presented on August 16, 2014. They honor television professionals in technical categories such as production design , costumes , camera or editing .
