'The Pitt' looks to repeat and 'Widow's Bay' could bring an epic wave as Emmy Awards arrive

LOS ANGELES (AP) – The 78th Emmy Awards are here. ‘The Pitt’ will look to find its place in the television pantheon and ‘Widow's Bay’ will ride a storm of buzz into the ceremony on Monday night at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles.

Mariska Hargitay, the longtime ‘Law & Order: Special Victims Unit’ star and a three-time Emmy winner, will host the show on NBC, which has rolled out a peacock blue carpet for the occasion, a nod to the network's 100th anniversary.

The ceremony will also celebrate the 30th anniversary of 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' and the 50th anniversary of 'Charlie's Angels', with cast members among the presenters.
