This year's first 13 Emmy presenters know a little something about accepting awards. Collectively, they have earned a total of 14 Emmys, three Oscars, 10 Golden Globes and six Grammys.
Don Mischer, executive producer for the 66th Emmy Awards, announced the first batch of presenters this week, and the names are huge. Past Emmy winners Bryan Cranston, Woody Harrelson, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Jim Parsons and Julianna Margulies will share the stage with movie stars Matthew McConaughey, Julia Roberts and Halle Berry to honor the 2014 Emmy winners.
Kerry Washington, Amy Poehler, Zooey Deschanel, Adam Levine and Gwen Stefani also will help celebrate TV's greatest stars.
Nine of the presenters have the chance to accept their own award on Emmy night. Parsons could do it twice - the actor earned a nomination for his comedic lead in CBS' "The Big Bang Theory" and his supporting role in the HBO movie "The Normal Heart."
Washington and McConaughey will be vying for their first Emmy awards. Washington received a nomination for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama for ABC's "Scandal." McConaughey goes head-to-head with his "True Detective" co-star Harrelson for Oustanding Lead Actor in Drama, but Harrelson wants his buddy to win.
"It's flattering to be nominated, but I have to throw my vote to Matthew, who I thought delivered the best performance of his life. Which is saying something," Harrelson told The Wrap.
Both actors will compete against Cranston, who earned his final Emmy nomination for "Breaking Bad." He won Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama for his role as Walter White three years in a row between 2008-2010.
Louis-Dreyfus chases Candice Bergen's record for most Emmy wins for an actress with five. She goes up for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy for "Veep," which she already won for twice. Her two other wins came from her work on NBC's "Seinfeld" and CBS' "The New Adventures of Old Christine."
Seth Meyers will host this year's Primetime Emmy Awards on Monday, Aug. 25 at 8 p.m on NBC.
