Updated 14 Sep, 2017

The 69th Emmy Awards announced their final list of presenters - and there's going to be a whole lot of star power on stage.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, British-Pakistani actor Riz Ahmed will be presenting at the awards this year. The actor has been nominated for an Emmy in two categories; one for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Limited Series or Movie for his role in The Night Of, and Guest Actor in a Comedy Series for playing the love interest of Lena Dunhamon in Girls.

Other nominees who will be seen on stage alongside Riz include Anthony Anderson (Black-ish), Alec Baldwin (Saturday Night Live and Match Game), Allison Janney (Mom), Nicole Kidman (Big Little Lies), Tracee Ellis Ross (Black-ish), Reese Witherspoon (Big Little Lies) and Oprah Winfrey (The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks).

The Emmys will take place on September 17.

How come when a Brit -Pakistani achieves something there is a connection. And when a Brit - Pakistani bombs something then he is a Brit? Make up your minds. Are Brit - Pakistanis connected to or not to Pakistan?

@vikas Some people will always find negativeness, wont they? If all Indians can be proud of the Canadian Russel Peters ,what the problem with us Pakistanis being proud of Riz Ahmed? Besides, we have always felt sad when Pakistanis have been caught in terrorist activities abroad, we never say they are not Pakistanis rather many of us do constructive criticism on the organizations responsible. What else shall we do so that negative people like you can find some positivity?

Riz Ahmed is bigger name then pc in usa! Riz Ahmed, is great actor, and critics gives him high praise for his work! Pakistani media should highlight more of the artists in UK and USA who are of Pakistani heritage! Give them awards for their international projects, invite them to awards shows, interviews them in media...they are really building Pakistani soft image, all over the world!

@Ayaz Munir ,you are wrong friend. We never feel proud of any Indian origin from Hollywood. We don't even like Priyanka or Deepika working in Hollywood. Let alone the Indian origin who have been settled down abroad. We actually barely care. I am a movie freak, I didn't even know Russel Peter is Indian descendant.
