Emmys Postpone Ceremony in Light of WGA and SAG Strikes
The show blog must go on.
In lieu of the WGA and SAG strikes, the Emmys have officially moved away from their September 18th date. This is the first time the Emmys have postponed their date since 2001, after the September 11th attacks. No new dates have been announced for both the Primetime Emmy Awards and the Creative Arts Emmys. It stands to reason that the show will not be rescheduled until the strike ends. As stated earlier on the site, The Film Experience stands with SAG-AFTRA and the WGA in their quest for fair wages. Hopefully, all production (including our beloved award shows) can return once the AMPTP (Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers) agrees to negotiate with the guilds in earnest.
In the meantime, all this means for us is that there’s just more time to celebrate the amazing work of television that is being honored this year.
In the coming months, you can expect more category analyses, volleys on the big four awards and coverage of many of the Creative Arts categories. You can find our Emmys coverage so far below:
