Strike pushes back Emmys
August 10, 2023
Emmy organisers have announced the awards event will be rescheduled to January 15th 2024 – four months later than its original date in mid-September – as a result of the writers and actors strike
The unions representing the actors and writers have said their compensation levels and working conditions have deteriorated because of the rise of streaming. The studios say they have already offered generous raises, even as they struggle to adjust to a fast-changing media business, reports the NYT.
The new January date will place the Emmys in the busy winter award show season. The event will join the Golden Globes, the AFI Awards, the Grammys and the Oscars in a two-month stretch.
