Glamorous celebrities and host Cedric the Entertainer will all be seen simultaneously on the Catchplay+ platform in real time. 

"Catchplay is committed to bringing more varieties of international entertainment to our users in addition to promoting Asia’s high quality original content. We are also constantly trying different things, live broadcast of important entertainment events being of them," Catchplay Group CEO Daphne Yang said.

"This exclusive live broadcast of the 73rd Emmy Awards is not only a first for us but also a first for the audiences in Taiwan and Indonesia. We hope to be bringing more exciting live events like this to our subscribers apart from the latest movies and series we are recognized for," she said.
