Emmy Awards Postponed Amdist Hollywood Strike
The highly anticipated Emmys Awards have been postponed to January 15, 2024 for the first time due to ongoing strikes within the Hollywood industry.
This was made known on Thursday by the organizers of the awards who postponed the award by almost four months.
According to the statement by broadcaster Fox and the Television Academy, the event was scheduled to take place this September but will now be held in mid-January next year.
The postponement was jointly announced by the Television Academy, and the host network, Fox, on Thursday, reports Today.com.
“We are pleased to announce that the 75th Emmy Awards will now air on Monday, January 15, 2024,” a Fox spokesman said.
The Emmys, which holds a preeminent place in the entertainment industry, was pushed back due to Hollywood’s first comprehensive industry-wide strike involving both actors and writers.
The previous instance of an Emmy delay occurred in 2001, following the tragic events of the 9/11 attack and subsequent US military action pushed the ceremony to November. A smaller-than-usual Emmy telecast was held that year.
The ongoing actors’ strike has resulted in A-list stars and nominees being unable to attend the Emmys, an outcome that could spell disaster for television ratings.
It is hoped that the postponement will provide both sides with the time required to resolve their differences.
However, formal communication between the involved parties has remained minimal during the 100-day duration of the writers’ strike.
The rescheduled Emmy Awards will now take place one week after the Golden Globes and a mere 24 hours following the Critics Choice Awards.
