LOS ANGELES, California: Michael Douglas and Matt Damon, who co-starred in this year’s Liberace biopic “Behind the Candelabra,” will serve as presenters at this month’s Primetime Emmy Awards ceremony, organizers said Tuesday.
Both stars are nominated for leading actor in a movie or mini-series at the award show regarded as the Oscars of the television industry, which will be held in Los Angeles on Sunday, Sept. 22.
“Behind the Candelabra” has 15 Emmy nominations in all.
Sixty-eight year-old Douglas — whose separation from wife Catherine Zeta-Jones was announced last week — played flamboyant entertainer Liberace in the HBO television movie, while Damon co-starred as his young gay lover, Scott Thorson.
