A new date has been set for the 75th Primetime Emmy Awards ceremony, which was recently postponed due to the double strike by the Writers Guild of America (WGA) and the Screen Actors Guild of America (SAG-AFTRA).

　This year’s Emmy Awards ceremony was originally scheduled to be broadcast live on FOX on September 18 (local time) as in previous years.

The Television Academy, which hosts the Emmys, and FOX, which won the broadcast rights for this year’s event, both the WGA and SAG-AFTRA have joined forces with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP), a trade association of 350 film companies, television stations, and distribution platforms. Producers (AMPTP), an industry group of 350 companies, including film companies, TV stations, and distribution platforms, and has been in discussions about whether to wait until the strike is over.

According to The Hollywood Reporter in the United States, the idea of ​​holding the meeting in November, two months behind schedule, was a strong candidate at first, but with no sign of resuming negotiations to end the strike, delaying the meeting by two months would not lead to any resolution. It seems that it was decided that it would not be possible, and it was finally decided that it would be held on January 15, 2024 (local time) at the Peacock Theater in the complex “LA Live” in downtown Los Angeles, USA.

It is extremely unusual for an Emmy Awards ceremony to span a year. Furthermore, the Television Academy has stated that the schedule surrounding the voting and selection process will not be changed regardless of the double strike, which means that the awards ceremony will be delayed by nearly five months from August 28, when the final ballot will determine the nominees.

Currently, the Golden Globe Awards are scheduled to be presented in January 2012 (date and time to be determined), the Critics Association of America Awards on January 14, the Screen Actors Guild of America Awards on February 24, and the Producers Guild of America (PGA) Awards on February 25. When the strike is over, as expected by the industry, there will be an unprecedented rush of awards ceremonies from January to February.
