  Hello and welcome to the live coverage of Emmys 2018.

  The show has begun with a musical number touching topics from #MeToo movement to diversity on Television. Sandra Oh was celebrated and Andy Samberg was the punching bag. The opening skit is very much like what you see on Saturday Night Live. It should not come as a surprise given SNL producer Lorne Michaels is helming this one too.
