That both scriptwriters’ and actors’ strikes do not seem to be resolved in the short term is a fact and Hollywood is increasingly aware that this is going to last. So much so that from the Television Academy they have made a historic decision: delay the gala indefinitely of the Emmys 2023.
According to informa Varietyalthough neither from Academia nor from FOX, the chain in charge of the broadcast this year, have publicly communicated the decision, they would have already informed the sellers that the ceremony will not take place on September 18. It would be the first time in more than twenty years (since 2001, due to 9/11) that the awards gala has been delayed in this way.
It seems that right now two dates are being considered for the delivery of the Emmys. The one that interests the FOX network it would be in november, taking advantage of the latest ups and downs of the start of the strangest television season in years in terms of programming. The Television Academy is not so optimistic, since they would be looking more towards januarycoinciding practically with the revamped Golden Globes.
No actors, no party
In any case, the idea is to be able to hold this ceremony once the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes have been resolved. Nobody, in fact, is interested in an empty room in what the the vast majority of the night’s awards are given either to actors or screenwriters Therefore, the future of these stoppages is key to the realization of both the Primetime gala and the Creative Arts gala, which would also have been postponed.
A delay that had already been rumored for weeks but about which neither FOX nor the Academy had specified anything. What’s more, not long ago, the academics sent out this short statement:
“Like the rest of the industry, we hope there is a fair and timely resolution to all parties to the current guild negotiations. We continue to monitor the situation closely with our colleagues at FOX and will let you know if an update is available.”
