This year’s Emmy Awards will be postponed due to the ongoing Hollywood strikes, US media reported. | AP
Hollywood’s actors and writers are both currently on strike, in the first industry-wide walkout for 63 years.
Writers would also not be allowed to script a monologue or jokes for the telecast’s host and presenters. The Television Academy, who vote for and host the awards, preferred a shorter postponement, as January lands the Emmys right in the middle of Hollywood’s packed film award season.The last time the Emmys were delayed was in 2001, when the ceremony was postponed in the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.The Hollywood strikes have essentially shut down all US movie and television productions, with limited exceptions such as reality and game shows.
The unions’ demands have focused on dwindling pay in the streaming era, and the threat posed to their careers and future livelihoods by artificial intelligence.
