The 75th Primetime Emmys will be postponed. The step had been expected in the scene, according to “Variety” there was now an official message to everyone involved for the first time. The most important television prize in the world was actually supposed to be awarded on September 18, 2023.
The reason for the cancellation is the double strike by the American actors’ and writers’ unions. The members of the professional representation are also prohibited from participating in award ceremonies. Due to the writers’ strike, no texts could be written for the moderators and presenters of the Emmys.
There is no catch-up date for the Emmy Awards yet. As “Variety” had previously reported, the broadcasting TV broadcaster Fox is aiming for January 2024. The Television Academy, which awards the prize, is said to prefer November this year.
In addition to the Primetime Emmys, where, for example, the big series are awarded, the Creative Arts Emmys are also affected. They were scheduled for September 9th and 10th. The prizes are awarded in “smaller” artisanal categories.
The postponement due to the strike is the first of an Emmy since 2001. At that time, the gala was postponed from the planned September 16 to October due to the terrorist attacks on September 11 of that year. Because of the start of the war in Afghanistan, it finally became November 4, 2001.
The big favorite among drama series is “Succession” with 27 nominations. This is followed by “The Last of Us” with 24 and “The White Lotus” with 23 mentions.
When it comes to comedy, “Ted Lasso” has 21 nominations for the most Emmys.
