Catch the broadcast of this ceremony Saturday, September 15 on FXX (8PM ET/PT).

In all, BMI had an astounding 20 composers who received primetime Emmy nods this year, and 21 who received daytime Emmy nominations, with BMI composers Vivek Maddala, Max Matluck, Lothar Struff and Bradley Bell taking home the daytime trophies.
