- John Ternus made his first major award show appearance as Apple's newly appointed CEO at the 78th Emmy Awards, held Sept. 14 at the Peacock Theater in downtown Los Angeles
- Ternus told Variety he considers himself "the world's biggest Apple TV fan" and praised the platform's seven-year content track record, saying Apple will "keep building on that"
- Apple TV+ arrived at the ceremony with a "big haul" of nominations including "Widow's Bay," "Shrinking," and "Pluribus"
- A Los Angeles heat wave that had blanketed the city for more than a week broke Monday afternoon just in time for the indigo carpet arrivals outside the Peacock Theater
- Disney CEO Josh D'Amaro joined Ternus among the fresh faces of newly installed executives making their debut arrivals
- Top content chiefs and executives from Netflix, HBO/Warner Bros. Discovery, NBCUniversal, Sony, WME, UTA, CBS, FX, and Amazon Prime Video all turned out on the carpet
Why it matters: Ternus's debut as Apple's CEO on the Emmy carpet places a hardware-and-services chief alongside the streaming-era content leaders who usually own these events, and his own framing of Apple TV+ as still young at seven years underlines how quickly a late entrant has stacked nominations.
