The small screen’s hottest stars will come out on Sunday for the 61st Annual Emmy Awards, hosted by “How I Met You Mother” star and Emmy nominee Neil Patrick Harris. Blake Lively, Michael J. Fox and Tina Fey are some of the celebs tapped to present awards at the big show, which airs on CBS live from Los Angeles on Sunday at 8 p.m. ET.

On Thursday, Emmy winner Justin Timberlake was announced as a presenter alongside David Boreanaz, Hayden Panettiere, Jon Hamm, Simon Baker, Jimmy Fallon and others. After winning with Andy Samberg in 2007 for “D— in a Box,” Timberlake picked up his second Creative Arts Emmy last weekend, for his guest-starring work on “Saturday Night Live.”

Among this year’s standout prime-time nominees is “American Idol,” which has eight nominations, including Ryan Seacrest’s nod for a reality-show host. “Mad Men” is up for 16 trophies. The 1960s-set cult favorite is competing against “Big Love,” “Breaking Bad,” “Damages,” “Dexter,” “House” and “Lost” in the Best Drama category. The comedy series being nominated are “30 Rock,” “Entourage,” “Family Guy,” “Flight of the Conchords,” “How I Met Your Mother,” “The Office,” and “Weeds.”

Among the other winners at the Creative Arts Emmys, held last Saturday, was Selena Gomez’s “The Wizards of Waverly Place.” The Disney show beat fellow teen queen Miley Cyrus’ “Hannah Montana” and Miranda Cosgrove’s “iCarly.”
