The 60th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards were held on Sunday, September 21, 2008, at the newly opened Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles, California.[3] They were hosted by Tom Bergeron, Heidi Klum, Howie Mandel, Jeff Probst, and Ryan Seacrest[1] (all nominated for Outstanding Host for a Reality Show or Reality Competition) and televised in the United States on ABC.
The Creative Arts Awards were held eight days earlier (September 13) at the same venue. They were hosted by Neil Patrick Harris and Sarah Chalke.
The telecast was viewed by 12.20 million[4] with a household rating of 8.86/12.79[5] making it the lowest rated and least viewed ceremony in its televised history. Many critics pointed out to the lackluster performances of the five hosts as a reason for the huge decline.[6] Others pointed out to the field of nominees which were dominated by low-rated and sparsely viewed programs.[7], thus making the Emmys widely considered as a bust, which was panned by critics as "... the worst ever, laid a big, fat ratings egg as well ..."[8]
