The 2013 Emmys are finally here and ready to bring a night of amazing television talent to your screens tonight. The 65th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards will take place at the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles, and will be hosted by Neil Patrick Harris of "How I Met Your Mother." The show will air Sunday at 8 p.m. EST on CBS. Harris said the event is expected to be exciting as he joked with reporters. "I couldn't be more honored and excited to be hosting this year's Emmy Awards. And what perfect timing - I'll just do the exact same script I'm about to use for the Tonys. 'And the Emmy for best revival of a musical goes to "Breaking Bad"!' See, told you it works," he said.

The night will particularly feature "House Of Cards," "Breaking Bad" and "Game of Thrones," as each have been nominated for a fair share of awards. It will be a big night for Netflix Web-only shows, which received a total of 14 nominations, nine of which went to "House Of Cards" starring Kevin Spacey. Among the glamour will be a moment of solemnity for stars who have died this year. The memoriam will feature: "Sopranos" actor James Gandolfini, "Family Ties" producer Gary David Goldberg, "Glee" star Cory Monteith, "All in the Family" cast member Jean Stapleton and "Mork and Mindy" actor Jonathan Winters.

Be on the lookout for some of the presenting duos, including Tina Fey with Amy Poehler, Kerry Washington with Diahann Carroll and Zooey with Emily Deschanel. The Emmy dais will also see Matt Damon, Sophia Vergara and Bryan Cranston, with a performance from Elton John. The Grammy-winning artist will be playing his first Emmy awards in which he will pay tribute to Liberace. A biopic about Liberace entitled "Behind The Candelabra" has been nominated for 15 awards. E! News will be featuring a Red Carpet live stream. Coverage begins at 5:55 p.m. EST. CBS.com, Yahoo.com and Emmys.com will also be providing an all-access behind-the-scenes pass to the Emmys as a live stream. A list of nominees to help you follow along with the show is below.
