Emmy Awards 2023: 75th Annual Emmy Awards postponed first time since 9/11 attacks in 2001. Check expected date

The 75th Annual Emmy Awards, initially planned for September 18, will now be postponed until January 2024 due to ongoing strikes involving writers and actors, according to reports. These strikes have caused a significant disruption in Hollywood's operations, affecting the production of various movies and TV shows. The rescheduled date and host for the ceremony will be announced later by the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences in collaboration with Fox. This postponement was expected, given the recent strike actions taken by Hollywood actors and writers

This marks the first time the Emmy Awards have been postponed since 2001, when they were rescheduled following the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks. Back then, the awards took place seven weeks later in November. The nominations for the 75th Annual Emmy Awards were announced on July 12, just before the commencement of the SAG-AFTRA strike, adding to the challenges faced by the entertainment industry, as per reports.

The critically acclaimed HBO drama 'Succession' dominated the nominations with 27 nods, including a nomination for Best Drama, following its final season. Despite the circumstances, the Tony Awards went ahead in June with some adjustments to the ceremony, and Oscar-winner Ariana DeBose took on the hosting duties. Notably, the presentation of awards at the Tony Awards lacked scripted banter during the show.


The delay of the Emmy Awards is an unfortunate consequence of the ongoing labor disputes in Hollywood. Nevertheless, the Television Academy and Fox decided to keep the September date as a tentative placeholder until now. With Hollywood in limbo due to the strikes, the industry eagerly awaits updates on the Emmy Awards and other major events impacted by the labor unrest.
