Titans clash at the 2018 Emmy Awards on Monday night.

The Handmaid's Tale won big at the 2017 show, taking wins in the Lead Actress, Supporting Actress, and Best Drama Series categories. But can it hope to repeat that success with Game of Thrones back in the mix, not to mention heavy-hitters like Stranger Things and the recently concluded The Americans?

On the comedy side of things, Veep's 2018 Emmys hiatus clears the stage for a new favorite to emerge. Will it be Donald Glover's Atlanta, which delivered a deeply thoughtful and highly experimental second season, to great success? Or maybe it'll be Glow that rises to the top; the Netflix series about women's wrestling has been an exciting source of buzz since Season 1 premiered last summer.

Here's a full list of all the Emmys categories you care about, and we'll be updating it throughout the night as new winners are announced. Tune in for the 70th annual Primetime Emmy Awards, hosted by Michael Che and Colin Jost (the Saturday Night Live Weekend Update guys), at 8:00 p.m. ET on NBC.
