The 2023 Emmy Awards, a prestigious celebration of television excellence, are facing an unprecedented delay due to the ongoing strikes by writers and actors in Hollywood. This marks the first postponement since the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks in 2001. The strike, which began in May and gained support from tens of thousands of actors, has brought major studios to a halt. The ceremony, initially scheduled for September 18, has been postponed with the new date yet to be confirmed. Top contenders like the HBO drama “Succession” featuring actor Brian Cox are among those affected. Negotiations between SAG-AFTRA, the Writers Guild of America, and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers continue to determine the rescheduled event date. The delay underscores the significant impact the strikes are having on the entertainment industry, prompting discussions about potential delays in movie releases by studios like Disney.

SCOOP: It's official. The Emmy are not happening in September. With Hollywood at a standstill due to the double strike, the ceremony has been pushed. New date TBD, but multiple sources say it could be January 2024.
