For the television and movie business, the pandemic changed everything rapidly. Due to COVID-19, the red carpet at the 2021 Emmy Awards is going to look different.

The Television Academy revealed that the 2021 ceremony will restrict the number of people allowed on the red carpet, specifically production staff, reports Deadline.

Vendors and camera crews will have to show proof of vaccination on the premises and will also need to test negative for COVID-19.

"Out of an abundance of caution and for the safety of Emmy nominees, guests and media, the number of production personnel and staff must be limited at this year's 73rd Emmy Awards," the organization said. The Academy added that "there will be a very limited red carpet for talent arrivals," with only several media outlets allowed.

The Academy also announced that they have partnered with CBS to create a virtual media center. In the past, there has been on-site media coverage.

Last month, the nominations for the 73rd annual Emmy Awards were revealed.

Ron Cephas Jones from "This Is Us" and Jasmine Cephas Jones from "Blindspotting," who are father and daughter in real life, unveiled the nominations.

Fans watched the announcement live in the video below at 11:30 am ET on Tuesday, July 13.

The 73rd Emmys will be held in person and will be live on Sunday, Sept. 19, at 8 pm ET on CBS.
