Dan Levy, who will behosting the show alongside his father Eugene Levy, tells PEOPLE that they’re “coming at” the hosting gig “from a very different place.”

“My dad and I are not stand-up comics,” the actor, 41, says. “But we’re both really hard workers. We want to create an atmosphere that feels really welcome and celebratory.”

Eugene, 77, adds, “As first timers, our hope is that the show this year will have enough laughs, enough charm, enough goodwill and enough love for the medium that gave both my son and myself a start in this business.”

Who will win big? Here arePEOPLE Pickseditor Tom Gliatto’s predictions for the stars and series that will walk away with a trophy on Sunday, Sept. 15 when the Emmys airs live at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.

Season 2 whipped up a storm of tears and stress, especially with a brilliant episode featuring fellow nomineeJamie Lee Curtisas Carmy’s overwrought mama. Season 1 took home 10 trophies — season 2’s doggie bag will be heavy too.
