Emmys
It’s official, this year’s 75th Emmy Awards have been pushed back four months and will now premiere on the Martin Luther King Jr. Day holiday on Monday, January 15th 2024. Additionally, Creative Arts Emmy Awards have moved to January 6th-7th.
The WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes have delayed the Emmys and with no negotiations currently scheduled between the studios and the two guilds, a work stoppage until year’s end or even early next year is looking possible. [Source: TV Academy]
