They are all announced during the awards – there aren’t that many of them, after all – and I am under the impression that all of them are telecast, but maybe some are actually announced during commercial breaks and they show the announcement and the winner’s speech later in the show.

EDIT: …except for the honorary awards, which have already been announced (Peter Weir, Euzhan Palcy, Diane Warren, and Michael J. Fox, who is getting the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award), and will be mentioned at some point in the broadcast

when does the red carpet start

In the San Francisco area, it started about 10 minutes ago.

The Oscars – where the pre-show runs 7 hours and the show itself runs 3 1/2. And you thought the Super Bowl’s pre-show was long…

What do they do at 10 AM local time – show the people actually installing the “champagne carpet”?

That ending to All-Stars surprised me. I thought for sure that Kodi Lee and the Bello Sisters (who beat Terry Fator in a “superfans” vote) would finish 1-2, with Detroit Youth Choir maybe third; I never thought that none of them would be in the top five.

I just find it highly coincidental that Aidan Bryant won not long after he joined what is now called “AGT Presents Super Stars Live” – speaking of which, did Mayaas ever perform there? Neither NBC nor the Luxor will list who is currently in the show.

One rule change, albeit minor, appears to have come in under the radar: the two choreography categories are now “officially” Areas. This opens up the final voting to all Choreography Branch members rather than just a jury; also, the “screening panel” that decides the nominees has been removed.

There’s another minor change that, IMO, could have a serious effect on the Scripted Program Choreography award: a choreographer who is “contracted with the production company, management company, or artist” may enter even without an on-screen credit. This is important because Jenna Ortega choreographed the “Wednesday Dance” herself, but she wasn’t credited as a choreographer. Is a self-choreographed routine considered “the choreographer contracted with the artist”?

That was a surprise – I wasn’t sure Mayyas would make the top 5, much less win, and I was more surprised Chapel Hart only finished 5th.

That being said, here is my annual exercise in futility – Who Goes To The Vegas Show?
One problem is, they keep changing the acts – it has gotten to the point where the website doesn’t even list any of the “newer” acts on it any more – so it’s possible that most, if not all, of the finalists will end up there at some point. However, limiting it to four acts, here are my picks:
Mayyas (of course)
Kristy Sellars (the pole dancer) – this has “Vegas Act” written all over it
Metaphysic – another one that just screams “Vegas stage”
and since there’s always at least one female singer, Chapel Hart – until they go on tour, at which point, Sara James (the Polish singer) joins the show.

Okay, maybe a fifth…if Preacher Lawson has left the show and there are no standup comedians, Mike E. Winfield will be added as well.

Looks like whoever had their finger on the seven-second delay button was a fraction of a second late…

Last year’s edited broadcast was an hour I believe and they just aired one category per field so they might just show one of those (if at all)

My TV listings show it airing 2 1/2 hours this year.

there is a ceremony that won’t be televised today but on Sept 10. They announce the winners on their socials like Twitter and Instagram

Keep in mind that the TV version combines the Saturday and Sunday ceremonies and edits them down into two hours (and that’s with commercials).

Also, GoldDerby hosts a live event on YouTube where they announce the winners as they happen – click here for a link to the YouTube page where it is being broadcast.

What, you don’t want to see Yellow Submarine: The Musical on a stage near you?

I actually suggested that myself to someone on Facebook (“Hey, if SpongeBob SquarePants can be a stage musical…”), who reminded me that the first problem with a Yellow Submarine musical would be getting the music rights back from the Michael Jackson estate.

The Boys Presents: Diabolical – Lexy Naut
The House – Kecy Salangad
Love, Death + Robots – Alberto Mielgo

Keep in mind that Hairstyling, Makeup, and Costumes (Variety/Nonfiction/Reality) have also “previously been announced,” the same way that Individual Achievement in Animation has.

I notice that scripted choreography and reality/variety choreography are on different nights. While that makes sense, the one problem I see with it is, assuming they have different presenters, how do they handle it in the edited broadcast?

Why do I have the feeling the new format, with no “instant save” or judges’ save (except maybe for the “wild card” finalist), was at the request of NBC after one too many weeks of the show bumping up against the next show’s time slot because one of the judges spent a considerable amount of time making their decision?
