Here's a refresher on everything you need to know about the summer-delayed 2023 Emmy Awards (but held in 2024).
When are the Emmys and why are they held in January?
The 75th Emmy Awards will take place on January 15 at the Peacock Theater at LA Live. The three-hour livestream will begin at 5 p.m. PT on Fox (and will be available the next day on Hulu).
Originally scheduled for September, when the ceremony is traditionally held, the Emmy Awards were postponed amid the historic dual strikes in Hollywood by the Writers Guild of America and SAG-AFTRA that paralyzed the industry.
The writers had already been on strike for two months when the Emmy nominations were announced in July. The actors left shortly after. Rather than continue without writers to write the show or hosts to hand out awards, Fox decided to postpone the event until both labor disputes were resolved.
