The 75th Primetime Emmy Awards, originally scheduled for September, have been postponed due to ongoing strikes by both screenwriters and actors. The news was first reported by Variety, citing information conveyed to vendors.
The strikes are being led by the Writers Guild of America and SAG-AFTRA, and are aimed at securing an agreement with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, which represents studios such as Amazon and Disney. The unions are seeking better pay in the streaming era.
The Television Academy, which is responsible for presenting the awards show, had looked to move the show to November, while its broadcaster, Fox, had eyed an airdate in January. However, no new date has been determined.
The 75th Primetime Emmy Awards is the latest in a series of events to be postponed due to the strikes, which began in May. Other events affected include the Daytime Emmy Awards, which were moved from June to October, and the Creative Arts Emmy Awards, which were moved from September to November.
The postponement of the 75th Primetime Emmy Awards is a reminder of the ongoing struggle between the unions and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers. It is unclear when a resolution will be reached.
