Awards season is officially here, with the Emmy Awards happening on Monday night. 

The nominees for this year's Emmys were announced in July, and "Game of Thrones" and Netflix led the pack. "Thrones" gained 22 nominations, while Netflix was the leading network with 112 in total, breaking HBO's 17-year streak.

Both "Better Call Saul" and "House of Cards" were ineligible this year, but "Game of Thrones" returns in full force after missing out on last year's Emmys  for its seventh season.

It looks like it could be a battle between HBO's blockbuster fantasy and Hulu's "The Handmaid's Tale," which took home the Outstanding Drama Series prize last year. But don't count out "The Americans," which ended its six-season run this year to critical acclaim. "The Americans" has deserved Emmys in all the major categories since it began in 2013, so hopefully its last eligible year will be a success. 

In the comedy race, "Veep" is out of the running this year, leaving it wide open for younger shows like "Atlanta" and "Glow" to prevail.

The 70th annual Primetime Emmy Awards, hosted by "SNL's" Colin Jost and Michael Che, will air live on Monday, September 17 on NBC at 8 p.m. ET (5 p.m. PT) from the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles.

The list of nominees in the major categories is below:

Disneyland Park in Anaheim, California, the "happiest place on earth," has become an iconic destination.

But its creator, Walt Disney, struggled to ensure it ever opened its gates. A new book on the evolution of the park says that Disney, despite his huge success in Hollywood, had to fight "every step of the way" to persuade banks, television networks, and city officials that Disneyland could work.

The first park opened in 1955, the only one under Disney's supervision before his death in 1966. More than six decades later, Disney's vision has been vindicated, and has attracted more than 800 million visitors.

"Walt Disney’s Disneyland", a new book published by TASCHEN, shares photographs and sketches of Walt Disney’s early inspirations and ideas for the theme park, as well as vintage photos of its construction and the park's evolution over 60 years.

Disney described Disneyland on television in 1954, a year before the park opened. It was designed to have different zones, like "Tomorrowland," which celebrated the future, and "Main Street USA," which honored nostalgia. These zones are still in place in some form today.

Mickey Mouse and his friends have always been at the heart of Disneyland. In 1964, Walt Disney posed with some of his most iconic and adored characters. Disney called their tales "classic stories of everyone’s youth” and wanted Disneyland's Fantasyland zone to be where those stories could "become realities for youngsters of all ages to participate in."

Between 1958 and 1989, visitors to Disneyland were greeted with the iconic original Disneyland sign on Harbor Boulevard. This photo is from 1959.

Television reboots used to elicit eye-rolls from skeptical audiences, but now we're living in the year of reboots. Like it or not, reboots are popular. TV execs can count on the familiarity for a built-in audience and the audience gets to experience the nostalgia of the characters or franchise from their youth. Sometimes, if the writers take the original fans into account and give the show some 2018 flavor, the reboots can be even better than the original show.

Here are some TV reboots that are even better than the originals, showing other reboots how it’s done.

"Queer Eye" is the most binge-worthy reality show on television.

This updated version of this Emmy-winning Bravo reality show also features the "Fab Five," or five gay experts who makeover a lucky person's wardrobe, appearance, cooking skills, home, and lifestyle. The premise is almost the same, but Netflix gives the new cast permission to be more open and vulnerable, and in turn, makes the audience into a blubbery sack of tears. Also, in the reboot, the "Fab Five" makeover people of all genders and sexualities, rather than just heterosexual men, giving more depth to the conversation and makeovers.    

In every episode, the "Fab Five" shows these people and the viewers that we all deserve to reconcile our pasts and put our best selves forward.

"Will & Grace" picks up right where it left off.

One big issue with reboots is that since the show ended, the original cast members might've given up acting or blown up to blockbuster level. Practically a continuation of the new series, the "Will & Grace" reboot managed to get all four core cast members back for every episode.

The actors' chemistry and physical comedy that made the show is a hit is still there, but Vox adds that the weight of being single in your 40's grants it a little more depth.

"Doctor Who" might be the only television show that was made to be rebooted.

The original British science-fiction series ran from 1963 to 1989, when special effects were so low-budget, the main villain was built to look like a metal vacuum. The protagonist "Doctor," an alien from the planet Gallifrey, is able to regenerate his human body for a new one whenever it becomes too damaged.

Each regeneration means a new actor, and Jodie Whittaker is currently starring as the 13th, in spite of sexist backlash. Though diehards might disagree, the 2005 spin is an improvement with its romance and action, spawning a new legion of Whovians. Switching between extremely silly and heartbreaking, even if the current iteration goes off the air, a 2050 version would still bring the fans.

Turns out, there’s a lot of sneaky reasons why your memory might be suffering. Some have to do with bad habits like smoking or unhealthy eating. Others revolve around your mental health. INSIDER took at look at some of the biggest causes of memory loss.

An unhealthy diet can play a role.

Cookies, cakes, and everything else in the junk food realm might taste unbelievably good but they can have serious health consequences.

A diet made up mostly of sugar and processed food promotes inflammation in the brain, which can lead to short-term memory loss. Trans fat is the biggest culprit, with frosting, frozen pizza, refrigerated dough, and coffee creamer topping the list of the most damaging products for your brain. Meanwhile, when you eat healthy foods packed with vitamins and antioxidants it provides important nourishment and bats away oxidative stress, which hurts brain cells.

The best solution? Avoid unhealthy foods as much as possible and stick to those unsaturated fats.

"If saturated and trans fats are the food villains, then mono- and polyunsaturated fats may be the heroes in the dietary battle to preserve memory," Harvard Health Publishing noted. "In particular, the Mediterranean diet, with its menu of foods that are high in healthy unsaturated fats (olive oil, fish, and nuts) has been linked to lower rates of both dementia due to Alzheimer's disease and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) — the stage of memory loss that often precedes dementia."

Too little or too much sleep might impact your memory.

The amount of shut-eye you get every night impacts your memory. Sleeping too little impairs your ability to retain information and, strangely enough, sleeping too much can be harmful as well. A Harvard-based Nurses’ Health Study surveyed a group of women on their sleep habits over a six-year period. Participants of the study who slept five hours or less and participants who slept nine hours or more received a poorer score on their brain tests than women who got an average night of sleep.

Why exactly do sleep patterns affect our memories? Your brain is actually doing a whole lot of important work while you’re getting that much-needed rest.

"While some part of the brain takes a siesta when we sleep, deeper areas involved with memory and emotional response become relatively more active," Dr. Allen Towfigh, medical director of New York Neurology and Sleep Medicine, told Health. "Individuals with sleep deprivation and sleep disorders not only suffer from impaired memory but also daytime fatigue, impaired attention, and reduced reaction time."

A lack of exercise might have a negative impact on your memory.

Many experts believe that working out keeps the blood flowing to the brain tissue, which can reduce deterioration, TIME reported. Aerobic exercise in particular kicks off the release of growth hormones which helps the brain function more effectively.

It’s recommended that you exercise about three to five days per week, for 45 minutes each session. That might sound like a big commitment, but your brain will thank you.

"Exercise helps memory and thinking through both direct and indirect means," Heidi Godman, executive editor at Harvard Health Letter, wrote. "The benefits of exercise come directly from its ability to reduce insulin resistance, reduce inflammation, and stimulate the release of growth factors—chemicals in the brain that affect the health of brain cells, the growth of new blood vessels in the brain, and even the abundance and survival of new brain cells."

In the rush to leave Hurricane Florence's wrath, many Carolinians left their pets behind.

Others decided to ride out the storm at home with their furry friends, only to find themselves in need of rescue.

So when the Coast Guard, National Guard, and volunteers started looking for survivors in the rising flood waters this weekend, more than a few pets were pulled onto boats or airlifted to safety.

According to the Coast Guard, 91 pets were rescued by Sunday in North Carolina alone. Helicopter crews rescued 20 of those pets, Fox News reported.

See some of the daring rescues, from the 10 beagles who were saved from their flooded kennels to the woman who carried her cat named Jackjack to safety in a cardboard box.

Fall is officially here and that means it's time for pies, cobblers, and bread. But if the mere thought of any kind of baking puts you into a panic, check out these 12 baking hacks INSIDER discovered by talking to several professional bakers.

These hacks will be sure to put your mind at ease and save you the extra work of making many common mistakes.

Start at the end of your recipe.

It's essential to be systematic in your approach to baking because it really is an exact science that must be followed precisely, according to Colavita Master Chef Ken Arnone. A trick to achieving this is by reading through your recipe backward.

"Start at the end of your recipe and work backward, gathering all equipment, pots, and pans, preheating the oven, etc. Prepare all molds or pans. Then organize and accurately scale all of your ingredients. Now, it's time to begin," Chef Ken told INSIDER.

Crack your eggshells cleaner.

To crack your eggs without getting shells in your batter or dough, you must crack with conviction, according to Rachel Khong, author of "All About Eggs" and featured in "Genius Desserts."

Timid taps are what cause the shell to shatter into tiny pieces, she added. If you do still need to retrieve errant shell bits, Khong said you can wet a finger and dive in or scoop them out with half of the eggshell.

Measure your sticky ingredients without the hassle.

For those sticky ingredients that are tough to scoop out of your measuring cups, Chef Ken recommends using olive oil. Coat the measuring instruments lightly with olive oil before scaling honey, maple syrup, corn syrup, or molasses.

This will allow the stickier ingredients to slide right out. You can also use a paper towel that has been moistened with oil and wipe the measuring spoon or cup so that the ingredients easily slip out, Chef Ken added.

Let’s face it, your 20s can be intimidating, difficult, and downright stressful. Following typical societal expectations, you’re meant to graduate college, meet the love of your life, and build a blossoming career in 10 years.

Sometimes you just need a reminder that not all paths in life take the same course. In fact, some of the most famous people in history didn’t find their true callings or become notable until much later in life. For every mega-successful person who rose to fame in their 20s, there are also some late bloomers.

Below are 30 notable historical icons and exactly what they were doing in their 20s.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. earned his doctorate young.

After earning his B.A. at 19 and his B.D. at 22, civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. graduated with his doctorate from Boston University in 1955, when he was 25. In 1954, MLK became the pastor of Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery and had previously joined the NAACP. In 1995, he would lead the famed Montgomery bus boycott. During this time he was arrested, abused, and his home was bombed.

At 28 years old, Dr. King was elected president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. He would become the youngest person to ever win the Nobel Peace Prize at the age of 35, just four years before he was assassinated.

Alexander Hamilton signed the Declaration of Independence before he was 30.

Founding father Alexander Hamilton was a highly successful government official in colonial America by his early 20s. Hamilton said he had his first job at age 11 and moved to New York at the age of 16 to attend what is now known as Columbia University but left to join the Revolutionary War before graduating.

In his early 20s, Hamilton became Washington’s loyal advisor and military strategist. Hamilton would then go on to sign the Declaration of Independence and serve as Chief of Staff to George Washington all before the age of 30.

Oprah Winfrey was fired from her first job.

Believe it or not, media mogul Oprah Winfrey was fired (or, rather, demoted) from one of her first ever reporting jobs in her early 20s.

Despite the setback, Winfrey went on to host the show "People Are Talking," where she'd spend the remainder of her 20s making a name for herself as a television personality. She didn't land her namesake show until her early 30s.

Fast food isn't known for being the easiest industry to work in.

But that doesn't mean that it's all gloom and doom for fast food workers. Some companies do provide employees with appealing benefits.

Here's a look at some of the top perks in the fast food business:

The internet has become so ingrained in and essential to our daily lives, it's almost impossible for us to imagine life without it — and in fact, a lot of us never have had a life without it.

The world wide web (aka the "www." in front of every website) was created in 1989 by Sir Tim Berners-Lee, a British computer scientist. But it didn't really become a household thing until the '90s (Google wasn't even invented until 1998).

From putting stores out of business to making entire technologies obsolete, the internet changed life as we know it. Check out 15 things you'll only remember if you were around before the world wide web.

Looking someone up in a phone book was the original Google search.

Before you had everyone's contacts saved in your phone, and before you could easily look up the name of a dentist nearby, you were stuck sifting through pages and pages of a phone book.

They were essential to daily life. Now, they're just a colossal waste of paper.

With step-by-step directions on Google Maps, paper maps are hardly necessary anymore.

Floppy disks have been around since the '70s, but with the rise of internet-based storage, like the Cloud, they've all but disappeared.

Floppy disks now are best remembered as the "save" icon in Microsoft Word, but they used to be ubiquitous. It was the only way to transfer large amounts of data — until USB drives, and later the Cloud were invented.

• Michael Jackson's famed Neverland Ranch has been on the market since 2015 despite millions of dollars in renovations, a large price cut, and a new name.
• Jackson's former 2,700 acre property boasts a 12,598 main residence, two guest houses, a lake, a 50-seat movie theatre, a tennis court, a 14-ft lagoon-style pool, a dance studio, and barns.
• At $67 million, here's what the new Sycamore Valley Ranch has to offer and why it's been on the market for three years.

Michael Jackson's famed Neverland Ranch hit the market in 2015 hoping to ring in buyers under a new identity as Sycamore Valley Ranch.

However, the 12,598 square foot French-Normandy style residence located in Los Olivos, California has been on the market for three years, despite a 33% price cut from its original $100 million listing price by Sotheby's International Realty and Hilton & Hyland.

Jackson, who bought the property for $19.5 million in 1987, defaulted on a loan after financial hardships and entered Neverland into an ownership agreement with private investment firm Colony Capital in 2008 for $23 million, according to ABC News.

After millions of dollars in renovations, the 2,700 acre ranch boasts a main residence with five bedrooms and eight bathrooms, two guesthouses, a four-acre lake, a 50-seat movie theatre, a tennis court, a 14-ft lagoon-style pool, a dance studio, barns, and separate staff facilities.

"This quintessential California estate is now ready for the next chapter in its journey," Sycamore Valley Ranch's listing agent Joyce Rey of Coldwell Banker said in a statement, the Los Angeles Times reported.

For $67 million, the King of Pop's former home could be yours, although you'll have to pass "extensive prequalification," according to The Wall Street Journal. Here's what Sycamore Valley Ranch has to offer:

April Walloga and Alyson Penn contributed to an earlier version of this story.

As Hurricane Florence, now weakened to a tropical depression, continues to wreak havoc along the East Coast, where it has claimed at least two dozen lives, more than 10,000 US service members are providing emergency assistance to those in need.

The Department of Defense, as of Saturday, had deployed a total of 13,470 personnel, 5,400 active-duty service members and 7,857 National Guard to support hurricane relief efforts. Additionally, 1,286 military assets, such as rotary and fixed-wing aircraft, high-water vehicles, and swift boats have been dispatched to assist with ongoing response operations.

"The collaboration between the Department of Defense, FEMA, and state and local partners is absolutely critical to our National Response Framework," Gen. Terrence J. O'Shaughnessy, Commander USNORTHCOM said in a statement, adding, "We remain well informed of the emergency response requirements and are ready to respond when military assistance is requested."

The following photos show the US military in action, lending a much needed hand to rescue people and even animals affected by the storm.

US service members have helped numerous people evacuate from areas affected by Hurricane Florence over the past few days.

Online mattress startups have had their moment the last few years. While obsession with the mattress itself seems to have died down lately, the business of sleep in general remains ripe for innovation.

The Emmy Awards isn't just the biggest night in television, it's also one of the biggest nights in the world of fashion. It's the one time all of the small screen's biggest stars come together to celebrate, and they always pull out all the stops when it comes to red carpet fashion. 

Stars like Nicole Kidman, Priyanka Chopra, and Issa Rae stole the show last year, and this year's red carpet is shaping up to be just as exciting. 

From the cast of "The Handmaid's Tale" to "Game of Thrones" stars, here are all the stunning looks your favorite celebrities wore for the 2018 Emmy Awards red carpet.

Kristen Bell arrived in a sleek white dress.

The dress featured an open design at the neckline, which she paired with an elegant updo.

Regina King's went for a vibrant look as she made her way down the carpet.

The actress kept the accessories simple to let the bold color do all the talking.

Issa Rae's Vera Wang jumpsuit was one of the best looks of the night.

The jumpsuit featured a flowing train at the back, which gave the illusion of a gown at first sight. It took 100 hours to make and featured 3,000 hand-sewn crystals.

It was a big Emmys night for streaming giants Netflix and Amazon, as well as reigning champ HBO, and long-snubbed "The Americans" from FX.

The 70th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards, hosted by Colin Jost and Michael Che, aired Monday night from the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles. 

HBO and Netflix ended the night tied for top network with 23 Emmys each, while "Game of Thrones" had the most wins of any show with 9.

The first award of the night went to Henry Winkler for his work as best supporting actor in "Barry," the HBO comedy series. Later, "Barry" star Bill Hader won the Emmy for best lead actor in a comedy series.  Amazon's "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel" picked up four awards early in the night for best supporting actress, best writing for a comedy, best lead actress in a comedy, and best directing for a comedy. It later won the best comedy Emmy. 

The drama category was quite varied this year, with a win for best actor in a supporting role going to Peter Dinklage for "Game of Thrones" and best supporting actress going to Thandie Newton for "Westworld." After years of deserving it, Matthew Rhys finally won for the final season of "The Americans," and Claire Foy won for her final season of "The Crown." Best drama series went to "Game of Thrones."

FX's "The Assassination of Gianni Versace" won for best limited series, and split the limited series (or movie) acting categories with Netflix's Western "Godless" and "Seven Seconds."  

Below are the big winners of the night's awards:

"Game of Thrones" may be wrapping up next year, but it's certainly going out with a bang. For its penultimate appearance at the Emmys at Los Angeles' Microsoft Theater Monday, the HBO series was nominated for 22 awards. 

Although fan-favorite roles like Emilia Clarke, Kit Harington, Sophie Turner, and Maisie Williams were snubbed, fans can be bolstered by how the cast in attendance pulled out all the stops on the red carpet.

Emilia Clarke arrived in custom Dior.

The Mother of Dragons let her platinum blonde hair grow out for her Emmys look, allowing her natural brunette roots to shine through.

"Hours and I mean HOURS later. She found her light," Clarke wrote on Instagram.

Nikolaj Coster-Waldau went with a deep brown, velvet blazer.

The "King Slayer" and his wife, Nukaaka Coster-Waldau, were among the first to arrive on the red carpet.

Gwendoline Christie was draped in an all-gold ensemble.

Fans joked that she was dressed in "gold silk Dornish robes" and others praised her embrace of "old hollywood glam." 

Every fall, the biggest names in television gather for one night at the Primetime Emmy Awards. While some stars win big on stage, others make a huge splash on the red carpet.

This year, the Emmys aired live from Los Angeles' Microsoft Theater on September 17. As always, celebrities turned up wearing everything from current trends to stunning gowns to daring looks that showed off their personal style.

In case you missed it, we rounded up our favorite — as well as some of the most eyebrow-raising — outfits from the 2018 Emmys below.

Audi unveiled on Monday its first fully-electric vehicle, the e-tron SUV, and opened reservations for the vehicle. The automaker will start delivering the e-tron in the US in the second quarter of 2019.

The e-tron will seat five, have two motors, and feature an all-wheel-drive configuration in its standard trim, according to Audi. The automaker has said it will have a range of around 248 miles, based on the European testing cycle, though it has not yet been tested by the US Environment Protection Agency.

In addition, Audi says the e-tron will have a top speed of 124 mph, a 0-60 mph time of 5.5 seconds, and a 95 kWh battery that will be able to get an 80% charge in around 30 minutes when using certain DC fast-chargers.

Most interior settings will be controlled through two touchscreens, and the vehicle will contain Amazon's Alexa, which will allow drivers and passengers to get the news, order groceries, stream music and audiobooks, and access some smart home features through voice control, Audi says. A heads-up display will project some information on the windshield, according to Audi. The automaker says customers will have the option of adding driver assistance features that will help regulate the e-tron's speed and distance from nearby vehicles in heavy traffic or at highway speeds.

In 2017, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation published its first annual "Goalkeepers" report, highlighting global data to show that humanity is headed in the right direction.

The second annual report, released Tuesday, focuses on the "formidable challenge" of improving the lives of people in low-income countries, from reducing poverty to increasing access to safe sanitation, with a particular emphasis on African countries.

In Africa, a continent with rapid population growth, the number of poor people will remain the same even if the percentage of poor people is halved. On top of that, Africa is expected to nearly double in size by 2050.  

By that year, two out of five extremely poor people worldwide will live in either Nigeria or Democratic Republic of the Congo, according to the Gates report.

The Gates Foundation has invested more than $15 billion on projects supporting Africa in various ways.

"We believe Africa is the world’s most important priority for the foreseeable future," the foundation's report said. "What happens to the large number of young people there will be the single biggest determinant of whether the world makes progress toward the Sustainable Development Goals — that is, whether life on this planet keeps getting better."

Take a look at the Gates Foundation's main areas of focus, from education and family planning to poverty reduction, and its plan for improving the world.

Though the number of people living in extreme poverty is decreasing, the Gates Foundation emphasizes that regional variation needs to be look at too.

The global reduction in extreme poverty (defined as living on less than $1.90 per day) is "perhaps the best story of the past generation," the Gates Foundation report said. But it doesn't tell the whole story.

As countries gain wealth, the cost of living goes up. To account for this, the World Bank has created a second poverty threshold of $3.20 per day for lower middle-income countries. While the number of people earning between $1.90 and $3.20 is going down, poverty is changing at different rates in different places. For South Asia, this decline is very recent, whereas sub-Saharan Africa has not begun experiencing a decrease yet.

"These trends underscore the dynamic nature of poverty; despite progress, there are still many who are close enough to the extreme poverty line that they risk falling below it again," the report said.

Unpaid care work around the world is still disproportionately done by women and girls.

Unpaid care work — which includes gathering water, cooking, and taking care of children — shows the consequences of gender inequality, according to the report. 

"This work, some of which is drudgery and some of which is deeply rewarding, is disproportionately shouldered by women and girls," the report said. "The burden of unpaid care work is one reason why women are poorer than men, especially during the years when they devote the most time to child rearing."

More girls and women would be able to attend school and launch businesses if unpaid care work was split equally between men and women.

Currently, women between the ages of 25 and 34 are 22% more likely to be extremely poor when compared to men of the same age. And 88% of women earn less as a result of having children, the report said.

While global coverage of vaccines is high, many countries fall significantly below the average.

The percentage of people worldwide who can access vaccines for diseases like pneumonia and measles is rising, but these data points fail to tell the whole story. 

The diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis (DTP3) vaccine, for example, has global coverage of nearly 90%, but the number is below 50% in some countries. The coverage in five countries — Central Africa Republic, Angola, Somalia, Nigeria, and Equatorial Guinea — is expected to remain below 60% in 2030. 

Even if a country has a high overall vaccine coverage, some parts of the country may be neglected. In one quarter of sub-Saharan Africa districts, for example, over half of children have not received the required three doses of DTP3. The diseases covered by DTP3 can all be fatal, the report said, and the vaccine is considered the "gold standard" for measuring people's access to immunizations in a given area.

"The priority now is replicating successful strategies in the most challenging places so that all people everywhere receive lifesaving vaccines," the report said.
