According to a statement, television’s equivalent of the Oscars had been due to take place this September, but will now be held in mid-January next year.
The Emmys are the most significant entertainment event so far to be delayed by Hollywood’s first industry-wide walkout by both actors and writers in more than 60 years.
Due to the ongoing actors’ strike, A-list stars and nominees would not currently be allowed to attend the Emmys, a development that would be disastrous for television ratings.
Meanwhile, nominations for the 75th Primetime Emmy Awards now scheduled to air on Monday, January 15, 2024, were announced last month.
