In a normal year 91裸聊视频� if there is any such thing in Hollywood anymore 91裸聊视频� the 75th ceremony would be Monday night, and the many nominees from shows like 91裸聊视频� 91裸聊视频� and 91裸聊视频� 91裸聊视频� would be claiming their trophies or happily clapping for the winners.
Instead, the brought a
Here91裸聊视频檚 a look at what91裸聊视频檚 happening, and what may happen, with the awards that have been thrown off course.
HOW THE STRIKES AFFECTED NOMINATIONS
A shadow hung over this year91裸聊视频檚 Emmys from the start. Writers, who are essential to the process both as nominees and the people who provide jokes and patter for the show, had been for more than two months when the nominees were announced June 11. Then just three days after 91裸聊视频淪uccession,91裸聊视频� 91裸聊视频� ,91裸聊视频� 91裸聊视频� 91裸聊视频� and 91裸聊视频淭ed Lasso91裸聊视频� were , leaders of the they would join writers in a historic Hollywood work stoppage.
With , panels or awards-show participation, acting nominees had just a few days to do the kind of media promotion that is usually rampant after a nomination. Writers couldn91裸聊视频檛 do it at all.
NEW DATE PUTS THE EMMYS IN PRIME AWARDS SEASON
The Television Academy and Fox TV, which was scheduled to air the show this year, initially kept the original Sept. 18 show date in place, with hopes the strikes would end quickly.
But with no realistic prospects for resolution, Fox and the academy decided in mid-August to to Jan. 15, 2024, Martin Luther King Day, at the Peacock Theater in downtown Los Angeles. No host has been announced.
The January date in many ways makes sense. Because they are still tied to the traditional fall-through-spring broadcast television season, the Emmys have been among the few awards shows held in September. That TV model, as the strikers know all too well, has been upended by that observe no such conventions. That traditional Emmy scheduling was starting to create odd situations. Voters were casting ballots for season one of the 91裸聊视频淭he Bear91裸聊视频� 91裸聊视频� which got 13 nominations 91裸聊视频� after season two had already aired. And now the results won91裸聊视频檛 be known until nearly a year after the second season premiere.
The January date will put the Emmys within the rest of Hollywood91裸聊视频檚 awards season, when red carpets rule and performers are on the promotional prowl. The show is slated for about a week after the and about six weeks before the 91裸聊视频� both ceremonies that honor television along with movies.
The date also puts it in line with the Emmys91裸聊视频� early years in the late 1940s and early 1950s, when they were held in January or February.
The delay is the first time the Emmys have been postponed since 2001, when the 9/11 attacks came just five days before the planned ceremony. Then the launch of the war in Afghanistan, which came hours before the rescheduled October show, prompted another postponement until November, when a small, restrained show hosted by Ellen DeGeneres finally ran.
The 2020 ceremony, dominated by 91裸聊视频� 91裸聊视频� and dubbed the 91裸聊视频淧andemmies91裸聊视频� by host Jimmy Kimmel was seriously scaled back because of the coronavirus, with nominees accepting trophies and making speeches from remote locations, but the date was never moved.
THE VOTES ARE ALL IN
With nothing else normal about the Emmys, the Television Academy at least wanted the voting process to go on as planned, and for the results to be as close as possible to what they would have been without the upheaval.
The Emmys are decided by votes from the nearly 20,000 members of the Television Academy. The membership is divided into 31 peer groups including animators, performers, directors and writers. Members of each group vote for Emmy winners in those categories, and all eligible voters can cast ballots for the awards that go to entire shows, including best drama series and best drama series.
This year91裸聊视频檚 ballots went out as planned on Aug. 17 and had to be returned by Aug. 28. That means the winners are already decided, but it will be four months 91裸聊视频� at least 91裸聊视频� before the envelopes are opened revealing them.
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
The new date looked a long way off when it was scheduled, but Emmy organizers may have to face the prospect that the strikes could still be going on in January. Writers have currently been off the job for 4 1/2 months, the actors for two months. The stoppages spilling into next year would make them historically long, and go well past initial predictions.
s have been slow in restarting. There have been no talks, and none are planned, between studios and actors.
Prolonged strikes could mean another Emmys postponement, or a show transformed into a glorified news conference, as happened with some awards during the pandemic.
It would also throw the , and the entire awards season, into doubt.
