Emmy Awards Telecast Moved From September Date Due To Ongoing Strikes

Variety is reporting that the 75th Primetime Emmys will not air on the originally scheduled date of September 18, 2023. According to the report, vendors have received official word that the ceremony has been postponed. 

The 75th Primetime Emmy Awards were originally scheduled to air on FOX, broadcast live from the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles. The Creative Arts Emmys, originally scheduled for September 9 and 10 have also been pushed.

The move is prompted by the labor pause in Hollywood as the members of the WGA and SAG-AFTRA continue their fight for fair contracts and equitable compensation. 

During the strike actors and writers must discontinue all creative output and promotion for their shows or movies, according to SAG-AFTRA and WGA guidelines. 

According to Variety, the network is now aiming for a January 2024 ceremony, with the Television Academy hoping to reschedule for November 2023.
