Last year, the Bay Area native was nominated for Outstanding Younger Actor in a drama series and, this year, he is nominated for Outstanding Original Song.

ABC7's Kristen Sze spoke with William on Thursday about how different the Emmy's will be this year since they will be held virtually amid the coronavirus pandemic.

He also performed his song "North Star."

Lipton spoke to ABC7 back in May about how he was spending his free time while "General Hospital" was on hiatus because of COVID-19.

The San Mateo High School junior said then that he was studying for AP tests, spending quality time with his younger sisters and writing songs.
