The 52nd Primetime Emmy Awards were held on Sunday, September 10, 2000.[1] The ceremony was hosted by Garry Shandling and was broadcast on ABC. Networks Bravo and The WB received their first major nominations; this remains the only year in which a series from the latter or its descendants (The CW and UPN) received a major nomination.[citation needed] The nominations were announced on July 20, 2000.[2]
For its second season, Will & Grace led all comedy series with three major wins, including Outstanding Comedy Series; Ally McBeal became the first defending champion, that wasn't canceled or ended, that failed to be nominated for Outstanding Comedy Series since Get Smart in 1970.
Winners are listed first, highlighted in boldface, and indicated with a double dagger (‡).[1][5][6][a] For simplicity, producers who received nominations for program awards have been omitted.
